#245 Jim Lopez: Helping Seniors
(Airdate: June 25, 2024) Maryanne interviews Jim Lopez, President of the PT Senior Association. Jim’s a Vietnam vet who used the GI bill to help get him through college. Then came a long career in business & finance. Oddly enough for a town that’s perpetually short on employment opportunities, a job offer lured him to PT. And what better place to retire? Many people confuse the Community Center with the Senior Association. It’s the Association that oversees everything from bingo games to a pool room. Organizations including AA, AlAnon, Disabled Vets, Photography Club, Computer Club all meet at the Center. Senior lunches are offered five days a week. But everything’s currently suspended for a couple of weeks while the building undergoes some renovation. It will all be back in July (contractor permitting)
