Windham Seniors, Inc.

Located at: 2 North Lowell Road (603) 434-2411

President: Barbara Coish, 898-9520

The Windham Seniors, Inc. was established to provide for the social and recreational needs of senior citizens in Windham and our adjoining towns.

While other area communities provide these types of services through the Town government, we are able to offer them with little or no cost to the taxpayer through volunteer efforts. The Town provides us with our facility and utilities, while we oversee the interior upkeep and cleaning.  Some senior activities are funded via money appropriated in the Recreation Budget.

The Senior Center is also utilized, most evenings, by our local scouting groups, the Lions Club, and other non-profit groups who have obtained permission from the President of the Windham Seniors.

The Center is blessed with many dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly on our behalf - some of whom are in their 90's! The Seniors are always looking for new members, and encourage our younger seniors to participate. You qualify for membership at 55 years of age, and dues are only $5.00/year. We are a friendly, welcoming group, and the coffee is always hot! Come check us out, we're sure you'll like what you find!

The following is just a sampling of some of our activities.

  • On Tuesdays and Thursdays:

  • Card games are usually underway just after 10:00 AM.

  • Lunch, provided by Rockingham Nutrition, is served. Donation for the meal is $2.00.

  • Bingo begins at 1:00 PM and lasts until 4:00 PM.

  • Blood pressure clinics are available at 12:00 PM on the last Wednesday of each month. Foot clinics are also available at the Center, however an appointment must be made with the Rockingham VNA.

  • A flu clinic is held annually, usually in October.

  • Trips are planned regularly, and transportation is usually provided. Some examples are:

  • Foxwoods

  • Indian Head Resort

  • Foster's Clam Bake

  • An Annual Senior Picnic, hosted by the Town, is held each summer. The Picnic is free to all Windham Seniors, and non-resident members of the Windham Seniors, Inc. may attend for a $5.00 fee.

  • The Windham Recreation Committee hosts the Senior Christmas Party each year at Castleton. Non-resident members may attend for a fee of $15.00.

  • The Town provides resident seniors with van transportation to/from medical or similar appointments. Also, a weekly grocery trip to Wal-Mart is held each Wednesday, weather permitting. Contact Kathy Davis at 432-7732 for more information.
