Life Enrichment Center in Oyster Bay thanks its volunteers

When 67-year-old Paulette Defilippe speaks, her face breaks out into a broad smile. Sitting with a group of friends at the Life Enrichment Center in Oyster Bay, she talked effusively about what a great resource the center is for people like her who live in the area. “It’s very important when you get older not to be isolated,” Defilippe said. “Here we have plenty of activities, classes, buses to take you places, a thrift shop.”

Defilippe, who lives in East Norwich, has volunteered at the center for nearly 10 years and was one of about 100 people who attended the center’s annual Volunteer Recognition Day Luncheon on April 25. The event honors people who give their time, energy and skills to improve the lives of others by volunteering.
