An ice cream social was held at the Laconia Senior Center on Thursday afternoon. About 30 people came to the event, which is promising for the center in terms of attendance since the COVID pandemic. Seniors enjoyed ice cream after lunch. “This is the place to come so you don’t have to sit alone at your house and make a sandwich. You can come and get a meal and see all these people,” Paula Merigan, 85, said. “Anyone should come here that’s a senior in Laconia, just to be with people.”
