A Letter from the Director, Silvia Banos
Thanksgiving Greetings to All!
November brings many great opportunities for social gatherings and
sharing. This means transportation will be important to arrange. This
month, I am very pleased to announce the wonderful expansion of the
City of Malden, Senior Transportation Program!
Beginning in November 2014, the City of Malden will be partnering
with “Door to Door Transportation by SCM” to run the medical and
supermarket services of the Senior Transportation Program. To be
eligible for this program you must be a City of Malden Resident and you
must be 60 years of age or have mobility impairment. Senior residents
will now enjoy an expanded transportation program that will include
medical visits to: Arlington, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Everett,
Malden, Medford, Melrose, Revere, Saugus, Somerville, Stoneham,
Watertown, Winchester, Woburn and the Lahey Clinic in Burlington.
Supermarket visits will now include visits to Market Basket in Revere

We will be hosting an informational session on Monday, November
17that 1:00 PM in the dining room at the Malden Senior Community
Center. Please bring your questions
Lastly, please remember to SAVE THE DATE for the 2014 Artisan
