SOME CONFUSION: GHSS NEEDS YOU!

Hello Folks:  I've been reminded that there is confusion about the senior programs within the town of Hillsborough. I am going to try to clarify and explain the various groups that are offered/managed for "seasoned adults."

Senior Affairs is a town of Hillsborough entity overseen by the selectpersons and handled by Dana Brien.  Senior outings fall within her responsibilities (these are the motor coach trips) sanctioned by the town with funding as part of the town budget.  Under the aforementioned Hillsboro Board of Selectmen a Senior Advisory Committee is a group of individuals appointed to oversee and manage the funds, approved by a warrant article at 2015 town meeting.

Greater Hillsboro Senior Services is a 501 c 3 non-profit created by seniors for seniors. A wide variety of events, activities, and trips are offered to seniors in the Greater Hillsboro area. The group raised funds and purchased a 14 passenger bus, insured it, and offer a wide range of very affordable trips both local and long distance.  The other offerings are craft programs, exercise classes, congregate meals, information and entertainment programs, and a quasi-dial-a- ride program, all supported by a large volume of volunteer hours.

We would appreciate your support for Article #27 at the Hillsboro Town Meeting on Tuesday, March 8, 2016.
