Programs - 55+

Fun was had by all last Wednesday (04-21-2010) at the Bring Your Grandchildren to Lunch Day, held at the Hillcrest Recreation Center.

55+ Programs Membership

The 55+ Program is now offering adults 55 and older a chance to join our membership program. For $10 per year (or $17.50 per couple) you will receive discounts on trips, early registration and online registration privileges, and the 55+ newsletter sent to your home six times a year.

To become a member, simply complete the form to right and return with payment to:

Scarborough Community Services
P.O. Box 360
Scarborough, ME 04070-0360

Once payment and form are received, a personalized membership card will be sent to your mailing address.

Informational calendars will still be available at the Scarborough Community Services Office, on the mini bus, and at lunches at Hillcrest for those who choose not to become a member.

Membership in the 55+ Program is optional and is meant to provide discounts and special offers to its participants. Membership is not mandatory to attend any of the 55+ programs that are offered.

NEW! Scarborough Businesses Discounts

Becoming a 55+ Member now has even more benefits! You may now present your membership card at select Scarborough businesses to receive discounts.

NOTICE: Credit Card Changes

Effective February 15, 2010, the Town of Scarborough will no longer accept credit card payments at the counter in any office within the town. This action is due to reduced spending requirements resulting from reduced state funding and general slowing of revenues.

* No online registration available for BINGO transportation and the Out-To-Lunch Bunch. You may register over the phone at 730-4156 or in person at the Community Services Office (third floor of the Municipal Building).

Senior Advisory Board Opening Announcement
