Our seniors are hoping that the director of the Little Compton Community Center, working on trying to solve the problems of our towns buildings, does not have self-interest in place. Our seniors want a senior center separate from the Little Compton Community Center and all of the restrictions and rules they’ve had to live by for several years attending lunch in that building, and continue to do so.

The Little Compton Community Center control over the senior center wouldn’t be best for our seniors. We just hired a senior director who can run the daily operations of the senior center without the restrictions and rules that come with the Little Compton Community Center. If the senior center falls under the Little Compton Community Center, it will just become a multi-use space that the Little Compton Community Center will want to utilize for other purposes, taking decision-making out of the hands of the Little Compton Senior Center.

The point is clear, that a senior center, or “senior space” as some are calling it, needs to be “free and independent” from the Little Compton Community Center.

“What’s in it for the community center?”

Is their best interest really the seniors, or the community center?

Don't give our buildings away on a 99-year lease!
