WORD FROM THE SENIOR SERVICES COORDINATOR

With the colder months coming, it is time to cover the   Inclement Weather Policy:

If the Orange Elementary schools are closed due to weather then classes at the Orange Senior Center are canceled for that day. If the Orange Elementary schools are delayed and your class is within the delay period then class is canceled. If students pay a fee to attend the class then it will be made up at the end of the session. Orange school closings and delays are reported on WTNH-8 and WTNH-8 will be the official vehicle of notification. Please be aware Orange is part of the Amity Regional School System and will be posted as Amity. Any question as to whether a class is on, you are encouraged to call the senior center office (203) 891-4784. 

I received a complaint about the Trip Policy. Be advised we do whatever we can to get you a refund when you   cancel going on a trip. It basically comes down to… if we can get your money back we will. The policy states that no refunds can be issued for any cancelation made less than 4-6 weeks before most trips depending on the trip, unless we can find a replacement.  So be aware if you cancel the day before no matter the reason we are still obligated to make payment for your ticket. We do go the extra mile and ask the travel agency for any refund (partial or full) we can get and we pass that back to you.
