GORHAM – The homeless Lakes Region Senior Center has found shelter to meet during the snowy and cold months at the church in North Gorham.

Blanche Alexander, 82, president of the seniors’ group, said this week it will relocate on Monday, Dec. 1, from the unheated White Rock Grange Hall on Wilson Road.

“We will be at the North Gorham United Church of Christ for the winter months,” Alexander said this week. “They have kindly given us refuge for the winter.”

It marks the much-traveled seniors’ fourth home in the past 14 months.

The north Gorham church building is the former Levi Hall School, standing for well more than a century at the corner of North Gorham and Standish Neck roads.

“They have agreed to pay a little rent,” church secretary Jan Labrecque said referring to the seniors, “ to defray the cost of oil.”

Labrecque said the seniors would meet in the church from 9 a.m.-p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and she said anyone can pop in.

Alexander said the seniors’ Christmas party would be held at the Veterans Building in Windham on Monday, Dec. 8.

The Lakes Region Senior Center has bounced around. It first began meeting in 2011 in the former Little Falls School in Gorham, but had to seek a place to go when Gorham closed the building in September 2013 for extensive repairs. Since, the Lakes Region seniors group has hit the road to hold its activities in temporary quarters.

From a golf course, it moved to the Grange hall late last spring. But, the hall is not winterized.

“The Grange will be pleased to have us back in the spring, if Little Falls is still not available to us,” Alexander said.

In April this year, the Gorham Town Council authorized spending $487,800 to renovate the structure that opened as a school in the mid 1950s.

Lakes Region Seniors has not received any confirmation of a “place at the table,” Alexander said, when Little Falls is reopened for activities. “We are hoping for a dedicated space to call our own,” Alexander said.

The town hasn’t announced a date as yet for re-opening the former Little Falls School as a community center.

“We plan to do some interior painting while the building is empty,” Gorham Town Manager David Cole said this week.

Members of the seniors’ group are from Buxton, Gorham, Raymond, Standish and Windham.

Alexander said, if the Grange were winterized, the seniors would have stayed there.

“They liked having us there and we enjoyed being there,” Alexander said. “We just want a place that we can call our own. We have all been productive citizens all our lives, and are not asking for much.”
