Program Fees

All adult education class fees are noted in the Newsletter. Many class fees are structured according to the age of the participant so that people aged 60+ pay a lower fee. Any higher fees, [indicated in brackets], are for those aged 59 and younger. Checks should be made payable to "Town of New Canaan" unless otherwise noted. Scholarships are available for those finding it difficult to pay fees; call Lyn Bond at 594-3620. Many fees are also based on a three month (seasonal) schedule. Participants who are unable to attend all three months may be able to sign up for a shorter period; however, people wanting to sign up for the entire period will be accommodated first. Call Nancy at 594-3620 to work out pro-rated classes.

Volunteer Opportunities

Lapham Community Center has an active volunteer program. Volunteers man the telephones and sign-in desk, teach classes and offer specialized services, such as notarizations and insurance counseling (through the New Canaan Commission for the Aging). Other volunteers, who enjoy gardening, work in the greenhouse and help keep the gardens planted and watered. Volunteers from local churches assist with the preparation and serving of lunch on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Call the Center (594-3620) if you are interested in volunteering.

Mission Statement

The Senior Center provides programs and services for seniors that will help them to live happier, healthier and more productive lives. To this end we offer activities and programs in areas such as adult education, the arts, health, recreation, nutrition, information and referral and other supportive services as well as opportunities for volunteer work. We operate on the premise that aging is a normal developmental process, that people need peers with whom they can interact and who are available as a source of encouragement and support, and that adults should have a voice in determining matters in which they have a vital interest. We therefore always try to provide those programs and services for which our participants have expressed interest or need.
