We want you to think of the center as a happy place where we can get together and enjoy one another’s company. We would love to have you come in and have some fun with us.
We had a great month of May. We had another great turn out for our Bingo’s. May had 5 Wednesday’s so we had a special bingo on the 5th Wednesday, in which we will be donating the proceeds to the Town of Thurmont Summer Camps program. On May 15th the 4H redid our flower beds as a community project. We were thrilled with the work they did. Did you notice our new sign? We are so excited that with the help of a grant we were able to purchase the beautiful sign. We would also like to say a great big thank you to the Rocky Ridge Fire Hall, our last Bingo we were able to donate the proceeds to the Fire Company and they unanimously voted to give it back to the Senior Center, how wonderful is that.

Here at the center, we are concerned for your well-being. If there is anything we can do to assist you in any way we would love to be of help. Just reach out to us and let us know what your needs are. If it is something we can’t do we will try our best to find you the resources you need. We have had SOAR Supporting Older Adults through Resources here to speak and they have a lot of resources for seniors we didn’t know about.
A note about a new policy effective immediately for the Thurmont Senior Center. Although we love animals, we are only allowing ADA certified service animals in the center going forward. I know that this may be difficult for some but the Board of Directors wanted to make sure that there is a clear policy in place. Maryland Service Animal Law applies to guide dogs, signal dogs and other animals that are individually trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities. Thank you for your understanding.
The Thurmont Senior Center is available to rent for different activities as well. Like perhaps a baby shower, a birthday party or a bridal shower.
As always if you have questions don’t hesitate to call us at 301-271-7911.
Don’t forget it is free to join the center. Some activities may have a minimal cost but to join the center is absolutely free.
