Please plan to attend the annual meeting for the Friends of the Cameron Senior Center!
With the cold weather upon us, we want to be sure our Westford seniors have the essentials like heat and electricity. Please contact Annette or Alison in the Social Work/Outreach department if you or someone you know may be living in difficult conditions. Also, keep in mind that our center is backed up by a generator, so if you lose power you may be able to come here to get warm, eat, take a shower and use the internet.
