PROGRAM
Our meeting was help on the patio of “The Estuary”, with the Director Stan Mingione as the speaker. Announcement made that The Estuary Purse Action will be held Saturday September 17,2022 4-6 PM. All are invited. Stan recognized The Rotary Club of Old Saybrook for their continued support of The Estuary. The Estuary has been very active in providing activities and opportunities for the over 50 population. Over 90,000 meals have been distributed via Meals om Wheels, Grab and Go, and in house dinners. The Estuary has a complete and up to date fitness center that is open to all, complete with certified instruction. The thrift shop has moved to the Post Road and is doing well. The proceeds help immensely.
Many services are provided, health and wellness programs, nutrition instruction, exercise and yoga classes, chair yoga , massages therapy and the list goes on. The staff is working toward changing the image of The Estuary from a senior center to a full service “Community Center”
