Coming Events

Beginning Conversational French
Learning a new language is a great way to build new brain cells and to keep us sharp. We intend to start a beginning French class  in February.  If you think you might be interested in joining, please call the office and leave your name and number so we can measure the interest in starting this new class.

United Way
Each year the members of the Hartland Senior Center pledge $1000 for the local United Way. If every member contributed $3.00 we could easily reach that goal. The Livingston County United Way annually invests in over 50 local health and human service programs including the Hartland Senior Center and initiatives which demonstrate effectiveness, collaboration leverage and impact to the community. Panels of volunteers review applications, attend presentations, scrutinize budgets, and make funding recommendations to ensure the highest return on investment of donated dollars.

Livingston County EMS, in cooperation with the United Way 211 Service, the Livingston County Health Department and the Leadership Council on Aging
