Hardly. If you note, I try to connect all to resources that we currently don’t have-resources for ALL ages. Most recently, I noted theatre offerings at the Emerson Umbrella, in Concord. The programs in the post you cite are for adult ed. classes, not limited to seniors.
There are a lot of great things happening both here and in towns around us. As for COA-type activities, we include those from other towns as we have taken part in COA sponsored activities at other places. In the past, I have taken Lincoln COA sponsored classes at HealthPoint (long gone.) I certainly never felt I was being shipped out. Lincoln did not have an indoor pool, so a collaboration was sought elsewhere. It was a heavily subscribed program by seniors of many different ages. I currently use services and programs at the Lincoln COA. I note that you live in Sudbury. Do you enjoy events and programs in Lincoln, COA and otherwise? I hope so. Keep you eyes open for an upcoming announcement of a (free) Bemis Lecture, to be held in Bemis Hall And, perhaps you could share what is happening in Sudbury? ------ Sara Mattes > On Aug 23, 2023, at 3:46 PM, john gregg <jgreg...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > How is solicitation to another community center a legit communication via > LincolnTalk?
