"Evening at SESCIL"
May 1, 2008 Report

"Evening at SESCIL" was held on Wednesday, April the 30th, in the modern annex to SESCIL's Landmark building. The main goal of this one-of-a-kind social event of 2008 in the life of SESCIL was to acquaint local officials - who serve in and around the Englewood area - with its multifarious services and programs. 

For the record, all of SESCIL's classes are free, and are available to area seniors - virtually at their doorstep - throughout the year. That fact, in and of itself, we felt should encourage local officials to communicate to their constituents the details of what SESCIL has to offer to its seniors for their health and wellbeing.  To that end, we invited a wide range of mayors and community leaders across the region.  Also, as a gesture of goodwill, we invited county and state officials as well. 

A computer, showcasing SESCIL's Website, was on display in the annex hall. Judging from the many questions asked about the site at www.sescil.org, it is safe to say that quite a number of our distinguished guests were intrigued by the breadth and depth of SESCIL's offerings - particularly in the area of free exercise programs tailored specifically to seniors' needs that are offered on a regular basis at 228 Grand Avenue, Englewood.  In addition, SESCIL Board and staff members were on hand to conduct tours in batches of half-a-dozen invitees each, in order to provide them with a "running commentary" on the historic and utilitarian importance of the complex to the residents of Englewood and beyond. 

We took several pictures of this social interaction between prominent public and private figures in our area, and they can be accessed right here beginning with a snapshot of  SESCIL Chairperson/President Joseph de Guilmo giving his welcoming address.
