Seniors Connecting

Time: Thursdays at 11 a.m.
Refreshments provided

Seniors Connecting was created in 2021 and facilitated by Sandi Atkinson.

Seniors meet weekly for a time of connection and enjoy coffee, tea and snacks together. Each week, they sing, dance, and do crafts. They even performed a Christmas Radio Play that aired on QCCR two years running.

This year we are excited to have Sandi co-leading with Sheree Cee, and we look forward to seeing the things that they do this year.

This is a free drop-in program with no registration required. We want to say a special thank you to Queens General Hospital Foundation for sponsoring Seniors Connecting this year.

Seniors Connecting meets in our Lower Gallery on Thursdays from 11 am to 12:30 pm.
