To the Editor:

We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to Tom Sapienza and Rick Holder and the very nice staff at the Hampshire Dome for making it possible for seniors in our region’s senior living facilities to exercise and engage socially at the Dome.

This is the third year of this kind opportunity and more seniors are availing themselves of the facility each year. The chance to “stay in shape” during typical New Hampshire winters is challenging and this year, the conditions for aerobic exercise outside has been tougher than usual. The safe walking conditions, the comfortable temperatures and the chances for social interactions indoors make this a remarkable venue.

We speak for the many happier and healthier seniors who have been delighted with this great gift!
