NYC Trip for Seniors

We told seniors during the summer, that if they followed through on all of their senior Prospect obligations (completed their application and financial aid process including getting app’s out, communicating with guidance and the program, meeting deadlines, attending required sessions…) that we would try to take them to NYC for a day of culture and fun.  We are able to do it and so many seniors did everything asked of them and more, that on May 23rd we will go to NYC, see a Broadway show, go to a museum, take the train.  Eligible seniors should call the office at 860-685-2970 if you have not already signed up and select the show you would like to see.  The choices are: Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Streetcar Named Desire, Spiderman, Lion King, and Memphis.
