Smithtown Senior Center Kicks Off the New Year with Jumbo BINGO Flashboard and Expansive New Programming
The Smithtown Senior Center is now featuring an interactive BINGO experience for members. The recent addition of the jumbo electronic BINGO flashboard is a result of a purchase from Siena Village Senior Living Community. Senior Center members can enjoy in the BINGO fun every Friday starting at 12:15PM.
“We were looking for ways to improve the services and activities for our membership, in addition to a selling point to encourage new enrollment. BINGO is a much-loved form of entertainment… It has been a popular pastime for generations. My hope is that this new addition, and the lineup of fun activities, crafts and clubs will entice new membership and improve the experience for the community members who we see daily.” - Doreen Perrino, Smithtown Senior Citizens Department Program Director
In addition to the new BINGO Fridays program, the Senior Center has expanded clubs such as the Knitting & Crochet group, every Monday from 10AM-12PM. The Knitting & Crochet group makes hats, scarves and mittens for local shelters, baby hats for hospitals, lap blankets and shawls for senior residency homes, and much more. Members can use supplies, yarn and tools provided by the Senior Center or bring their own from home.
