Hilltowns Senior News for Friday, March 28, 2014

April will be a busy month for the Hilltowns Seniors.

The shopping bus will be making its Wednesday trips on April 2 and 16.  The April 2, trip will be to Wal-Mart and Crossgates Mall and the April 16, trip will be to Wal-Mart and Colonie Center.  Please call the CDTA at 437-5161 at least 2 days in advance to arrange for pickup by the bus.

Spring festival

There will be a Spring Festival on Wednesday, April 9, at St. Sophia’s Greek Orthodox Church on Whitehall Road in Albany from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  If we can get enough folks interested in going we will try to arrange for the senior bus to take us from Berne. Lunch will be provided at the festival. Please call me at 861-8960 if you are interested or if you have questions.

Seniors meet

The next Hilltowns Seniors meeting will be on Saturday, April 12, at the senior center on Helderberg Trail in Berne.  The social hour starts at 10:30 a.m., followed by a short meeting and lunch.

Seniors day

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 6.  New York State Senior Citizens Recognition Day will take place at the Egg in downtown Albany from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Again, if we can get sufficient folks interested we will try to arrange for the senior bus to take us from Berne.  Call me at 861-8960 if you are interested or for additional information.

Let’s hope spring will cooperate with us and make its appearance for these events.
