Friends of Northbridge Elders, Inc. (FINE)

Supporting the Northbridge Council on Aging

We've Changed Our Name!

We have officially changed our name to:

Plummer Place, 

Home of the Northbridge Senior Center

This has been a long time in the making and we feel we have made the right choice. As many of you know, our Senior Center is located in the former Plummer School which served town from 1921-1982. Shortly after the school closed, with funding from the town, grants, and assistance from FINE, students from Blackstone Valley Tech renovated the building and in 1985 it became the new Senior Center. For more background about the name change decision, please read our newsletter here. 


Our New Patio

Our brand new patio is up and running! Our hope is that this new outdoor space will add options for more outdoor activities.Maybe a place to have lunch with a friend on a Sunday afternoon, play some bingo, listen to live music, and more! We would like to thank Unilock in Uxbridge for donating the patio blocks, and Scott's Landscaping in Hopkinton for installing this beautiful new feature at our Center. Check back soon for event updates!

Compassion is Our Passion
 

What life means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens.  Lewis E. Dunnington

Three keys to abundant living:

Caring for others, daring for others, sharing with others.  Willard A. Ward
