Golden Hour is a welcoming senior social that meets twice a month on Wednesdays from 10:00-11:30 AM, offering relaxed activities, learning opportunities, and time to connect with others.
Golden Hour meets at the Barrington Parks & Recreation Community Center at 105 Ramsdell Lane. This is a free program; however, we do accept donations for light refreshments & supplies that are needed. Some programs may require a fee due to other costs associated and will be noted.

Lynne will also include some "Medicare Secrets" and reveal parts of Medicare that many seniors don't realize even exist. Light refreshments will be provided.
