WILTON — Every Thursday morning from 9 to 10:30 a.m. one group of friends attend the SeniorsPlus “Coffee and Cribbage” event. They have been coming to play together every week since March, though the recurring event has been going for longer than that. The activity takes place at the SeniorsPlus Edcuation Center located in the Bass Building in Wilton.
SeniorsPlus Education and Outreach Specialist Jessica Bronish said that the event was inspired by the need for more opportunities for seniors to socialize and have fun locally.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
