North Branford Patch: What's something residents should know?
Barron: You are welcome to bring friends to the Senior Center who are non-residents. Even if you do not live in town, you are welcome to become a member of the Senior Center. Certain activities do require a non-resident fee, but all are welcome to participate in trips and activities. 

North Branford Patch: What was your first job?
Barron: I grew up in Ansonia and when you were 15, the town offered employment for the summer. I was placed at the Joseph Doyle Senior Center.  I spent my summer doing activities and serving hot lunches to the senior citizens in my town. Little did I know that my summer experience at 15 would turn into my career at 36. I enjoyed it then and love it even more now!
