Hilltowns Senior News for Thursday, January 17, 2019

The Hilltown Seniors met on Saturday, Jan. 12, for their monthly meeting. What a joy it was to have 65 members venture out in the cold weather to enjoy each other’s company.

We are so grateful to have Helderberg Ambulance volunteers stop by to take our blood-pressure readings.

We gave our monthly reports and our travel gal gave us a couple of trips that she has line up. We are anxious to get on the road when the weather gets a bit warmer!

Mike Vincent gave us an update on whether we will participate in a recycling project at the Senior Center and also talked about re-addressing a senior-living housing project that we had once shown interest in.

The senior meal site continues under the direction of Karen Stark and many volunteers. What a joy to have this program available to those who come to eat and enjoy the company.

At next month’s senior meeting, we will have Michelle Kavanaugh as our speaker on how to organize senior moves.

I selected a nominating committee to present a slate of officers at our next meeting. If you are a member and are up for the challenge, say ‘yes’ to an officer’s position; you actually would enjoy it as I have!

We all received New Year’s fortune cookies that I had made out of paper. We read a few and had some laughs — which is always good for the soul. A delicious lunch headed up by the kitchen committee was enjoyed by all.

Happy New Year! I don’t call them New Year’s resolutions. I prefer the term “casual promises to myself that I’m under no legal obligation to fulfill.”
