GREETINGS FROM THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER DIRECTOR Hello, friends. Our community is an amazing place to live. The Town of Randolph has so many strengths that we look to highlight and build upon with the Randolph Intergenerational Community Center. We also look to survey the challenges that the community faces and be on the front end of addressing those needs.

My commitment is to providing an excellent and fulfilling experience for each and every person who engages with the Center. I look forward to serving in this capacity to see that the vision for our Community Center is fully manifested. Furthermore, as a resident of Randolph, I look forward to seeing how the Center can continue to transform and unite our community! Looking forward to meeting you at the Center!
