Westbrook Foundation Grant Of Over $16,000 Helps Equip New Senior Center When It Opens

Westbrook, CT, November, 2004—When the town’s new Senior Center opens next Spring , a grant of more than $16,000 from The Westbrook Foundation will ensure that local seniors begin enjoying their new home right away.

A donation of $16,850 was given to the facility at the Mulvey Center for the purchase of dining chairs and tables and a pool table. Jon Hall, Foundation president, said “we want to encourage the town’s seniors to be as comfortable as possible in the new site.”

Since 1985, the Westbrook Foundation, Inc. awards scholarships to local students and grants to town organizations involved in medical, social, cultural, recreational and civic endeavors. Founded by lifelong Westbrook resident and educator, Barbara Spencer, in memory of her father, the Foundation is a non-profit organization administered by a volunteer board of towns people.
