Hello from the Hanover Council on Aging.
The mission of the Hanover Senior Center is to optimize the quality of life
by providing services, educational programs and activities which enhance
the lives of seniors, people with disabilities, their families, and
caregivers. Our vision is to meet the evolving needs of Hanover’s
growing population.
We will do this by:
Delivering quality services and programs that reflect individual needs,
personal choice, and self-determination based on values, culture, and
lifestyle.
Enhancing an individual’s sense of self-worth by encouraging
contributions of time and talent.
Creating an environment that encourages social interaction and personal
growth.
Providing the opportunity to participate in a variety of interesting and
enjoyable programs.
Ensuring effective planning that supports the COA mission.
Today we are reaching out to let you know about some great new programming
we have added!

Do you have a passion for writing and enjoy sharing with others? This is
your moment to shine. In this writing group you will be able to write about
your history, what keeps you going during COVID, stories that can be
fiction or nonfiction, poetry, or simple statements. Story telling
especially with younger children’s stories of your past can be rewarding
and fun. So come join this group!
