Throughout the year, the Southborough Senior Center is credited with organizing great and varied programs for town seniors. In fact, it’s the Council of the Aging that’s behind the scenes. And Friends of the Council on Aging’s financial support is an essential part of that.
Friends of the COA are planning their annual Autumn Fair fundraiser. This year, it’s scheduled for Saturday, November 17 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Senior Center.
As always, they’ll be selling baked goods, hand knitted hats, mittens and scarves, jewelry and “attic treasures” (new/gently used small items). They will also be raffling goods and services including gift cards to local restaurants. To that end, they are seeking donations from the community.
They’ll also be selling apple pies other baked goods. Lunch will also be available for sale.
Please drop off appropriate donated items at the Senior Center by Tuesday, November 13. (Unless you’re donating baked goods. Those can be brought in on Friday, November 16 from 8:30 am – 3:00 pm or the next morning before 9:00 am.)
If you have any questions, please call (508) 229-4453.
