Wellesley seniors welcome in the Year of the Horse

February 25, 2026 by admin

The Wellesley Council on Aging celebrated the Year of the Horse with a Chinese New Year gathering on Feb. 20 that brought together patrons for an afternoon of food, conversation, and festive decor.

The COA dining room was transformed with red lanterns, hanging dragons, and traditional accents.

The COA extends its thanks to the volunteers who helped decorate the space and serve refreshments.
