Hilltowns Senior News for Thursday, December 5, 2013

Hi, all area seniors. My Christmas wish for everyone is a great holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year.

The Hilltowns Seniors would like to see some new faces at our meetings in 2014. We meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month for food, fun and information on aging and services. If you would like more information on our meeting time or if you need directions to the Berne Senior Center please call me at 861-8960.

We will be having a catered Christmas party on Dec. 14, at the senior center.  The cost is $6.  Please call either Alyce Gibbs at 872-0586 or me for a reservation. It will be a great holiday get together for all.

I would also like to encourage all seniors to use our senior shuttle bus.  Dan McCoy, Kevin Crosier, Mike Hammond and I all worked very hard to make sure rural area seniors have access to shopping on a regular basis.  You do need to call 437-5161 at least 48 hours in advance to reserve a place on the shuttle. We have room for 14 people. Please show how grateful we are for having this shuttle available.  If you need more information please call me at 861-8960 or the Berne Town Hall at 872-0034.

In December we will be going to Wal-Mart and Crossgates on Dec. 4 and to Wal-Mart and Colonie Center on Dec. 18.  Imagine great Christmas shopping and no parking hassles.  Our January schedule will be Wal-Mart and Crossgates on Jan. 8, and Wal-Mart and Colonie Center on Jan. 22.

I hope to see you at our Christmas party and on the senior shuttle bus.

Editor’s note: Charlotte Fuss is the president of the Hilltowns Seniors.
