"We know that socialization and nutrition and exercise programs are vital to enhance the quality of life for seniors," said Matt Villamaino, President for Friends of Wilbraham Seniors. "And that's really what we're going to be focusing on."
Since the new senior center opened in April their membership has tripled from a year ago. The senior center currently serves 7-thousand people and the president hopes to see that number keep growing.
