MARK YOUR CALENDARS

What better time to “REBEL” than July 4th week, as we celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary! Sullivan County Nutrition Services, Meals-on-Wheels Program, and the Newport Senior Center will be the lucky benefactors of proceeds raised at REVO Casino and Social House, from June 30 – July 9, 2026. Last year, Revo donated over $43,000 to support older adults in Sullivan County. Let’s make this year’s donation meter burst in air.

In Fond Memory of Bruce Jasper

The late Bruce Jasper played a pivotal role in our organization and in the greater community and we were proud to nominate him for consideration in the 2024 Older Adult Volunteer Awards from the NH State Commission On Aging. Bruce was selected as the honoree for Sullivan County. Bruce was not only a partner in a local law firm, but also a partner in the community. Bruce had a profound impact as a member of the board of directors, for the Newport Senior Center, for the past four years. Bruce donated the gift of his time each month sharing his expertise and supporting fundraisers that would help the center continue to provide services to older adults in Sullivan County. For Bruce, giving back was his way of life. Bruce’s efforts in giving back have touched the lives of people of all ages. Whether Bruce was volunteering his time at the Newport Senior Center, in the town governments of Croydon and Newport, Wags & Wiggles Rescue, or Economic Corporation of Newport, Bruce’s acts of kindness always empowered others to live a healthy life filled with joy, happiness, and independence.
