Hilltowns Senior News for Thursday, June 18, 2015
I’m so pleased! Arlene’s Artist Materials in Albany has really put together a nice package for our Acrylic Painting class on June 30. We could have just ordered a kit online, but buying locally supports all of us locally, so I called Arlene’s first.
Not only did they come up with a better package, it even costs less than the kit would have. (Don’t panic. You don’t have to pay anything; the paints and supplies come free with the free class).
Each artist (yes, you!) will get 12 tubes of paint, an easel, two canvas boards, and two brushes. All you need to bring is the willingness and a sense of adventure. There are still a few spots open, but call now to be sure you get in!
Next month, we will be building bluebird boxes on July 7 with the folks from Thacher Nature Center, and Gardening in Containers on July 21 with the Master Gardeners from Albany County Cooperative Extension.
By the way, next week’s lunchtime menu for the Hilltown Senior Center is here. Swap tales with friends, and enjoy a lunch that you don’t have to cook. Doors open at 11 a.m., and lunch is served promptly at noon.
Menu
Monday, June 22: Potato crusted baked fish, Mediterranean salad, fettucini Alfredo, whole wheat bread, milk, and Lorna Doones.
Tuesday, June 23: Turkey with gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, cauliflower, cornbread stuffing, whole wheat bread, milk, and tropical fruit.

Please call 24 hours in advance, at 872-9400, to reserve lunch. Email plightbody@nycap.rr.com, or sign up when you come in. Tell us how many are coming, your name, and your telephone number. If you’d just like to come and help out, give Mary Moller a call at 861-6253, or email her at helderbergseniormeals@aol.com, and put “volunteer” in the subject line.
