Recently the Centre received a $2,000 donation from the Medical Society of New Brunswick.  The Society’s Health Policy & Promotion Committee selected “Healthy and Active Seniors” as their theme for this year.  From a list of relevant organizations our Centre was selected.  They see us, Stepping Stone Senior Centre, as aligning “perfectly with our goal of fostering a safer and healthier community.”  Their letter concluded with this: “we are excited about the positive impact your organization will make and we look forward to seeing the progress of your initiatives.”
