Submit your event/s. Note that we limit event listings mainly to free or inexpensive public events in Wellesley, such as talks, films, theatre productions, concerts, etc. This is not a place for businesses to promote themselves, their classes, etc. Please don’t submit events that run for weeks and weeks. We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.
We also appreciate any contributions to support our independent journalism venture.
Thanks, Deborah & Bob

Wellesley COA Mission Statement:
The mission of the Wellesley Council on Aging is to serve as the primary resource for residents over the age of 60; to empower individuals to reach their goals; to offer comprehensive programs, services, and assistance that optimize quality of life; and to enable meaningful connections and collaborations that inspire a spirit of community across the generations in our town.
COA volunteer opportunities:
Lunch Program
The Council on Aging serves lunch to senior citizens four days a week—Tuesdays to Fridays from noon to 1:00 p.m. By giving less than two hours of your time (11:30 a.m. to approximately 1:15 p.m.), you can make a difference to our daily lunch group.
Drivers
Volunteer drivers are needed to help Wellesley senior citizens get to various destinations in and around Wellesley (non-medical and medical rides). Please email [email protected] or call 781-235-3046 for more information.
Special Events
Special events are held once or twice a month, and volunteers are always needed to decorate, set up, serve refreshments, and clean up when the event is over.
