MICKLETON — If you are over 55 and live in East Greenwich Township, please join us for our monthly meetings. We meet the first Thursday of every month at 10 a.m. in the East Greenwich Municipal building on Democrat Road in Mickleton.
We welcome new members to help us rebuild our senior group into an active group with planned activities and outings. Please come to our meetings to help us promote more activities in our community. For additional info, email us at seniors@eastgreenwichnj.com
East Greenwich Seniors, we need to hear from you.
We have been given the opportunity to share a small bus with Gibbstown for use with our seniors. We need your input to help us decide how to use it: shopping trips, going to the mall, going to a movie, or getting to county events.
Please contact us either at our monthly meetings or email us at seniors@eastgreenwichnj.com with any ideas or suggestions.

Bring a game to play with others or just come and join a group to learn a new game. We also have a piano teacher who wanted to know if anyone played the keyboard and was interested in a keyboard lesson during this time.
Contact us via our email address and let us know. We can set up a schedule.
Tax Workshop
On April 10, we will have the New Jersey State Dept of Taxation come to talk about the ANCHOR Program and the Property Tax Reimbursement Program (Senior Freeze Program) from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. There have been changes in the eligibility for these programs, making it more accessible to many seniors.
We will be holding this at the East Greenwich municipal building on Democrat Road. Mark your calendar
