Volunteers were reminded to keep the public entry door open during operating hours because some visitors require the accessible entrance; members cautioned against widely sharing the door code and said staff would open the door in the morning for visitors rather than giving the code to all volunteers. The group also said the alarm system is not being used at present, so volunteers do not need the alarm code for routine access.

Members reported the center’s telephone service was fixed that afternoon and noted the ring tone and monitor changes. The group discussed thermostat placement (separate controls for heat and air conditioning on different walls) and put up signage so volunteers know which controls to use.

The board reviewed a November trip that was filling quickly. Organizers said the trip will be limited to 50 seats and that a waiting list is posted for additional signups; staff will call names from the waiting list if cancellations occur.

Members agreed to continue monitoring access procedures and to finalize trip arrangements by phone as openings occur.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Hubbardston: Council On Aging 02.25.25","oneSentenceSummary","Directors and volunteers discussed door codes and alarm procedures, fixed phone service, thermostat/temperature concerns, accessibility for visitors and a November trip waiting list with up to 50 seats.","taxTitle","Town of Hubbardston, Worcester County, Massachusetts","taxId",61645,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6313103,"Senior center schedules allergy‑awareness training and considers legal/estate program",120,2799000,2919000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7&start=2799&end=2919","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7/thumbnail_2799000.jpg","/articles/6313103/Massachusetts/Senior-center-schedules-allergyawareness-training-and-considers-legalestate-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6313103-f465f0654f3f7ee6fed2332349f2f33b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770696030&Signature=iYE-RdYHP~~ATf0ZXPn7OxlCpBC3PRiYVGWfTd-~HZMR1n-imGOlI1Cy6OvcTOv1WhwBo48MgjbSab7sJmMSv4UiIYfWEzOu2URKUI~U4sQXc9i-vbAoBhk0KxzIAY7NjSLqq-jImeoMNPQX4kLyF7NQLWFkPIyNlRSSr3W5PGFw-7ZheiSKv25NmQ52Tgwz9A16EN6bGMZnifmO62GMa~VKkniyAvC8W0q3wCVTzSKse1A1umBsU74mWO3BUdrI~ITZ7Rhx6jh6Q6wZQhHohXXBKFs-dnXpp-RLXTB0aB08tTmAhSMrPBpcTgB~fI9~sJcuUZxlRSBpFv8T25KWzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Hubbardston Senior Center scheduled an allergy‑awareness training session for May 15 at 11 a.m. aimed at volunteers who handle food. Board members said the training is about an hour and noted that Massachusetts and Rhode Island were cited as the only states with this specific requirement; the training will cover common food allergies such as peanuts and seafood and referenced SafeServe and related state rules.

Organizers said the center will pay for some attendees from a formula grant; the group cited a per‑person cost of $75 for the trainer and set a target of about 10 attendees (the board discussed limiting the audience to regular food volunteers to conserve funds). The board said it will follow up to confirm final attendee lists and payment arrangements.

Separately, members discussed a Massachusetts Bar Association outreach program offering wills and trust information; the group noted the registration deadline of March 7 and agreed to consider an in‑person session if scheduling allows. Board members also reminded volunteers to complete required Massachusetts Ethics Commission training, as noted in the director’s report.

Board members emphasized that the allergy training is intended for staff/volunteers who serve food at center events and that the program's cost will be funded from a grant allocation, not the center's general operating reserve, as discussed in the meeting.","The board set a May 15 allergy‑awareness session for volunteers handling food and discussed a Massachusetts Bar Association wills/trust program and Massachusetts Ethics Commission training reminders.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6313108,"Hubbardston senior center to hold art show; Cultural Council awards $700 grant",531,1648000,2179000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7&start=1648&end=2179","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7/thumbnail_1648000.jpg","/articles/6313108/Massachusetts/Hubbardston-senior-center-to-hold-art-show-Cultural-Council-awards-700-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6313108-91fb93211fe46cd72dce3cf97bee8902/orig.mp4?Expires=1770696030&Signature=Ly3SC8oRLqHAaneVqjz6Fsjn71R2D~B3r2zFUalLGxMMPyNjz0tRniMeQAkxXY1OErVVb7B~EuUYscBEtQLjNZxxttDsHmwlhSStbC08NMUEUpdPKszN9vcGMcD74CFnW5BDF9VGL3YPqsdHsQHVgWPy1bv7JdwQGXhiLinHOato6veMZlyZm3Hi4-L0x3zFVhDnPiX~rR0P5wZqmS5G8ZvJk1-WuSEqbHCu5ny0HGC3stkS0xWh86rSvLe9HeYlls08HJN54y8qliX648tSk6gk9udG8rsOhcyU1ihjvgKjxmN84M2wcNJjYUp1Uv1BOsb7PFpFVv5BLrOonSg0LA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Hubbardston Senior Center reported it received a cultural grant of $700 to support its community art program, less than the $1,300 requested. The board and volunteers are planning an art show, tentatively set for May 10, and discussed combining the art show with a plant sale—hosting plants at the senior center while moving the art display to the library basement to reduce stairs for seniors.

The grant was described as an award to the center; board members said the grant funds will be disbursed after the center completes the event and related reporting requirements. Organizers noted the art teacher typically leads a two‑hour monthly session with five to eight participants; the teacher is expected to run the art show as the session’s culminating event. The center said it may need a small supplemental request from its operating funds or future allotments if the cultural grant payout timing requires it.

Volunteers discussed logistics and content: the plant sale will prioritize houseplants rather than vegetable starts because of timing; some donated plants and crafts are expected. The committee agreed to keep plant sales proceeds with sellers when appropriate and asked volunteers to coordinate with Cindy and Jen (class organizer) on setup and advertising. The group also discussed the potential for a later date if crafters cannot attend May 10 (Mother’s Day weekend) and said they would finalize after one more planning meeting.

Board members emphasized that grant award amounts and payment timing are determined by the grantor and that the center must document the event to receive grant funds.","The center plans an art show tentatively on May 10 and received a $700 cultural grant to support the art class; organizers are combining a plant sale and art display and are sorting timing and payment details.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6313113,"Hubbardston senior center shifts Pot of Gold luncheon time, discusses one‑day liquor license",73,656000,729000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7&start=656&end=729","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7/thumbnail_656000.jpg","/articles/6313113/Massachusetts/Hubbardston-senior-center-shifts-Pot-of-Gold-luncheon-time-discusses-oneday-liquor-license","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6313113-e3be54cf421a93624be40f0681d9875f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770696030&Signature=RLoqDKdVusSNgyTlWbzKqMdDXdmf30TLaqbd~quwul~yMJWCLdMw74rf9PWF1svfxOyTi3ikQSz9Vt5IqXRpNnYlQNDxopJJbufQz-Jqo~rdNx~MWJuiLU6L3Y2IxIf3g1AbJvrcr4b5IT3OZ2kA3oSC4YA2e7gTtkkC3HTbVPcbbVB2YpCJ0VeHUSGFy4jSTY3aK3vuPHOHDtgLosWTvGrN2xn3RBWKast1z9YMANYJFyykJ4jJTY9-TmLIzrjMUXTr4gvMjILpnKe~pl8spW0JaI2RjH2W8sQIg8nrXhIL15~ZcQNhP1RN~7-72k~nEGCKVc5aUTEC0uyWuX~-pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Hubbardston Senior Center Advisory Board and volunteers changed the Pot of Gold fundraiser meal time from 1 p.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the day of the event after members raised concerns about a parking conflict with another local event. Organizers expect people to arrive starting at 11 a.m. and plan to pull raffle winners at 12:30 p.m.

Organizers said ticket sales are going well and that the meal-ticket process does not require recording buyers' names and phone numbers; tickets are being sold as individual meal purchases. The fundraiser committee set an internal fundraising goal of $3,000.

Board members also discussed applying for a one‑day liquor license to serve wine at the event. Members noted liability concerns if an attendee were to drive after drinking and discussed practical limits such as capping service to two drinks per person. Town practice and an insurance “rider” for events were cited as additional requirements; participants discussed the typical one‑day license fee (members cited differing figures of $5 and $25) and said they would secure the appropriate town rider and insurance. No final, formal vote to apply for a license was recorded during the session; members said they would follow up with staff to secure the license and any required rider and insurance.

Volunteers also discussed logistics: the meal-change notice will be posted widely, organizers will increase signage, and the committee asked center staff to remind attendees of the new start time in daily announcements.

Organizers also confirmed menu choices and entertainment options; the Colliers of Greenwood Hill Farm will donate lamb, and event planners discussed low‑volume background Irish music and screen visuals to provide ambiance rather than live performers.

The Pot of Gold is an important annual fundraiser for the center; organizers asked volunteers to help publicize the time change in the days before the event.","Organizers moved the Pot of Gold fundraiser start time to reduce a parking conflict, set a $3,000 goal and discussed pursuing a one‑day liquor license with liability limits and drink limits.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6313118,"Hubbardston senior center board accepts minutes and treasurer's report",378,58000,436000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7&start=58&end=436","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2389413-0f5ad68317d63c34ca3ce6c217ffaca7/thumbnail_58000.jpg","/articles/6313118/Massachusetts/Hubbardston-senior-center-board-accepts-minutes-and-treasurers-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6313118-75fea403bd3c337fdae820fbcbcc2956/orig.mp4?Expires=1770696030&Signature=GhJ7uGYonZkBzp0AMAvmx3DAopy10Rtel-8iLRfgmozIn0Q1XfMVd1vv-AfrCRmSxoCdEiLgdJC4khO3WLMFS-SD6TWWdf~Kig-YZMJTWwnmCu3fgeQ9DhdsGUJAQ-XORchPDoTHjVT5zBsEiDmLYLukj~tHpioqe5NNc0Q2hGiZ8EeHT5JLZFnopizKhujNWUpGSCtSN2ye5-y7JCVZ5TtYe8y6uxXBQotkxqtzRa5ucucUk63gumSH6F9L2ys~cUTs5Mz~IY9Md6UUUsdj8gBFBwAxmnjd13suSNq2nY8aXaRGhSJJqWFEKVw11wihvVVdNiG~hc-A0zgqu6OCRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Hubbardston Senior Center Advisory Board on Feb. 6 accepted the secretary's minutes from prior meetings and the treasurer's report dated Feb. 6, 2025, and then adjourned the meeting.
