Single Friends United - Join this exciting new group. The monthly meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at 1:00PM at the Ipswich Senior Center. The purpose of the meetings are to enjoy each other's company, plan outings and events, and talk about the challenges of living alone. Please try to join and bring a friend. This group does not have any age or residency restrictions. TRIAD - TRIAD is a partnership involving senior citizens, law enforcement agencies, the fire department, and the local Council on Aging. The primary goal is to reduce the criminal victimization of older citizens and enhance the delivery of services to this population. TRIAD provides the opportunity for an exchange of information between law enforcement, support services and senior citizens. The Ipswich TRIAD group meets on a regular basis and has sponsored various programs including photo identification, File of Life, house numbering, safe shredding and home safety. Contact the COA for more information. BALLROOM DANCING - Enjoy dancing to a live band each month at the Senior Center. This event is open to anyone regardless of age or residency. Check the newsletter for the exact date each month. Cover charge is $5.00/person and includes refreshments. The bands are fantastic and the dancing is inspiring. |
