Hilltowns Senior News for Friday, September 16, 2016

The Sept. 10 meeting of the Hilltown Seniors was attended by 52 members. We had three new members.

Birthday greetings were sung to Shirley Wright, Linda McDermott, and Rob Moser. There were no anniversaries not that I didn't try. The Remmers declined my invitation. So I will try again next month.

Hard to get help and find housing

During our concerns and comment period, Martin Grossman said that he was looking for help around his home. Then the discussion began about getting help and the cost  of help. We are all having the same problem.

Then the discussion of housing started. The only thing they are building are luxury apartments. They are out to make money, which is the way of the world.

Coming events

The travel committee is planning an Octoberfest to the Log Cabin.

Our November Thanksgiving dinner will be at the Reformed Church in Berne. Sign-up will be next month.

Sept. 29,  at Saratoga Racino, the book club will meet and discuss our book plus help Roz Moser celebrate her birthday. It should be a good time and I hope a winning one.

On Sept. 25, a music day will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Gallupville Methodist Church.

The Westerlo Reformed Church has started hosting lunch the fourth Thursday of each month.

A NEAT (Not Eating Alone Tonight) dinner is scheduled for this coming Monday.

A blood drive will be held at the Berne-Knox-Westerlo school on Sept. 29.

Enjoy the rest of the month and the beautiful fall in upstate New York.

Think about this:  In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular!
