Chatham Center for Active Living

On September 13th the Select Board accepted the recommendation of the Council on Aging Board of Directors and voted unanimously to change the name of the Chatham Senior Center to the Chatham Center for Active Living. The name received the most votes in a survey of five suggested names for the facility.

The facility renaming is the first step in re-branding programs and services offered by the Council on Aging to reflect the community's desire for more programming geared to younger 55+ adults.
