Senior Citizens Club
Welcome Letter
Welcome to the East Hanover Senior Citizens Club!
Our members, all of whom are East Hanover residents 60 years of age and older, organize several trips, holiday parties, luncheons, cocktail parties, and special events. We also have small group activities such as card games, billiards, and needle crafts in our newly renovated, historical, Club house which is open from 9am to 3pm Monday through Friday (except for Holidays). We are constantly adding more activities as interests become more varied! We also have a social gathering, with food, after each bi-monthly business meeting. All of these events benefit the senior members of our community and promote a wonderful camaraderie among our group members.
We are also supported by the township administration who understands the value of our senior citizens to the township and the contributions we make to our family-oriented town.
We hope you will consider joining us by becoming a member and participate with us in the many activities specially developed for all our senior citizens.
