Yes. We have a nutrition program at our site under the direction of BayPath Elder Services. Meals are served Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at noon. The suggested voluntary donation is $2:00.

Part of the cost of the meal is underwritten by the federal government through the Administration on Aging.  Each meal is planned by a registered dietitian to meet 1/3 of the daily nutritional requirements of a senior.

Menus appear in the Senior Center newsletter, the Sudbury Senior Scene, which is sent out at the beginning of each month.  They are also available on the Sudbury Town website.

Reservations for meals must be made by no later than 10 AM the day before, by calling the Senior Center at 978-443-3055.

A call to the Senior Center will reach a LIVE PERSON during its normal operating hours of 9:00-4:00 weekdays. When the Senior Center is closed you can leave a message on an answering machine.

In Sudbury a person officially achieves the status of "senior citizen" at age 60.

The van operates 8:30 AM to 3 or 3:30 PM Monday-Friday.  The fare is $1.00 one way.  The entire cost of operating the van, including the driver's salary and benefts and repairs to the vehicle are paid through an agreement with the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA).

To schedule a ride, call the Senior Center at 978-443-3055.

The MWRTA also operates a dial-a-ride service for seniors and people with disabilities once a week to a local supermarket, and once a month to the Solomon Pond Mall.  To use this service, people must register with the MWRTA.  Call 1-508-820-4650 for more information.

We  mail the Sudbury Senior Scene free to all Sudbury households where the head of the household is age 60 or more.  There are 11 issues a year.

The newsletter is printed for us free by Senior Citizen Publishing, which sells ads in the newsletter to pay for the printing.  The postage is paid for by the Friends of Sudbury Seniors, at no cost to taxpayers.

Some people get the newsletter by joining our on-line distribution list.  People in other towns who want the newsletter mailed to them do pay an annual subscription fee of $7.00 to defray the cost of postage.

We have several on-going programs including aerobics, yoga, bridge, watercolors and cribbage, as well as courses in computer basics and many "lifelong learning" series.

We also have several health related programs and a free blood-pressure clinic.  We offer day trips, multi-day trips, and even trips to other countries.  For further information, call the  Senior Center at (978) 443-3055 or Click Here to send us an email.

All the details are available in the monthly publication, the Sudbury Senior Scene, available free at the Senior Center and on the Town website.

We are always looking for ideas for new programs. Many of the Senior Center programs started as the result of an idea from a Sudbury senior.
