Hilltowns Senior News for Thursday, February 15, 2018

The Hilltown Seniors February meeting was well attended with about 50 present. We all talked about how spring is just around the corner and we are so ready.

We have trips lined up for the first part of 2018:

— In April, we will spend some time in Saratoga at the national park and we’ll eat lunch at the casino before we head home;

— In May, we are traveling to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for three days to visit Longwood Gardens, the Dutch Apple Theatre to see “Grease,” and then we’ll see an all-new show, “Jesus,” at the Sight and Sound Theatre with other attractions.

Make your reservation today as the bus is filling up quickly. Call Shirley Slingerland at 518-797-3467; and

— In September, we are traveling to Niagara Falls and Toronto for five days and four nights. Again, call Shirley for your reservation while we still have room on the bus. She has all the details. The deposit for this trip is due on May 12.

The only thing missing at our meeting was our president, Linda Carman! We all send her our love!

OK, folks, here’s a reminder: Our next meeting is on March 10 at the Shell Inn with our fare being a corned-beef-and-cabbage luncheon for $10 per person. Please arrive by 11 a.m. and send your check to Shirley if you haven’t signed up.

Here’s a closing thought: Keep a smile on your face; it’s the best accessory you can ever wear.
