As we begin the year 2025, all residents and their families are wished a happy and healthy New Year. The Social Circle of Claridge House One looks forward to planning activities that are enlightening and enjoyable. While some programs will be for our members, most will be open to all residents. We look forward to seeing a vibrant response to our activities and are always open to new suggestions from residents. Remember to check our Bulletin Board in the mail room. We now have our own website created by Phil Chernack, our Communications and Technology Chairperson. The website is ch1socialcirle.org

CURRENT EVENTS DISCUSSION:
