Hanson names new senior center assistant program coordinator

October 12, 2023 By Tracy F. Seelye, Express Editor

HANSON – The Select Board voted on Tuesday, Sept. 26 to appoint Lianna Gagnon to the new position of assistant program coordinator at the Hanson Multi-Service Senior Center, effective Wednesday, Sept. 27.
Gagnon has been volunteering at the center for more than a year helping with some of the frailer elders in the day program, Director Mary Collins said.
“We have seen her growth over the year,” Collins said. “It’s wonderful that we have this opportunity. Our formula grant increased this year and that’s what we’re using for funding for this.”
That increase is due to the fact that Hanson’s population of residents over age 60 has jumped by “well over 1,000 people” in the last decade, according to Collins.
“I couldn’t think of a better use of the money than to bring in somebody like Lianna, who is presently in college. She plans to go into the food services industry.
A longtime Hanson resident, Gagnon has grandparents who live in town.
Gagnon said she is excited to start working at the Senior Center and everyone there.
