Hilltowns Senior News for Wednesday, September 22, 2021

The Hilltown Seniors met for their regular monthly meeting on Sept. 11 and welcomed three new members. We recognized that it was the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and had a moment of remembrance.

I relayed that I was in a meeting along with a few others in the community with the Director of Public Health Emergency Preparedness about a possible pop-up vaccine clinic that will be held in the town of Berne. We discussed how to get some people who are hesitant to get the vaccine.

Then on our agenda were all the birthdays and anniversaries for which we like to raise our voices and sing, so we did just that! We all sound like we should have our own Hilltown Choir, nice singing folks! 

Our trip on the 18th to the Charles Wood Theater in Glens Falls in conjunction with the Lake George Theater is in the final stages and we look forward to a trip once again (on the road again!). 

The Hilltown Senior Book Club met at O’Tooles for lunch to discuss our reads and suggestions on some we should definitely put in our library. Next month, we will meet once again at Bellevue Diner and talk about the new books we will share with one another. Kathy Stemple from the Town of Berne Free Library will be joining us at our October meeting to talk about books, books, and more books!

The centerpieces this month on each table were baskets of apples. To receive one of these beauties, one had to read a tongue-twister! What a hoot! Then we decided to have each table read another since I brought plenty and that would decide on which table went first to eat — not sure that worked out as planned, but much laughter just the same.

We discussed our Christmas party/luncheon and assigned one of our great gals to help us decide on a gift exchange — can’t wait to see what she comes up with. I will try to put together a show — so stay tuned! See you all next month.

Noticed a few of my friends were missing so, if I come knockin’ on the Conklin door, don’t be surprised — lol.

There is one kitchen chore I don’t mind — polishing off the cookies!
