The Hilltown Seniors met on Dec. 11 for our meeting and Christmas gathering at the Community ACCESS/Senior Center with our Christmas grab bag and smiling faces. We had a short meeting followed by some Christmas carols sung by the members.
I presented the group with a Hawaiian rendition of the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” Four members were dressed in Hawaiian outfits with their props ready. What a hoot
The joyous music was provided by Denny White and we are so blessed to have talent in abundance in our group.
Next came the caterer with our luncheon! Wow — appetizers, salad, scalloped potatoes, baked ham, delicious vegetables, and then cupcakes for dessert. Thanks to Michelle Vincent for this wonderful spread.
After that came the gift exchange. We pulled names out of the basket and you came and picked up your gift. The gift bought had to begin with one of the letters in the words “Merry Christmas.” I received candy — that couldn’t have been more perfect for this girl!
What a great way to end the 2021 year. We are looking forward to 2022 with two trips being planned as we are so ready to travel once again!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year from the Hilltown Seniors.

The Hilltown Seniors met for their monthly meeting on Nov. 13. I introduced our guest speaker who talked about Medicare open enrollment and talked about many options available and what fits your needs.
We then welcomed some new members and am sure they will have a “hoot” of a good time!
We are planning our Christmas celebration for next month and will put on a show and have our luncheon catered. You need to sign up for that; please let me know.
Trips we talked about are a casino trip in April and the Pennsylvania trip in May. Flyers will be available soon.
We celebrated birthdays and anniversaries and shared announcements.
Our Thanksgiving luncheon was indeed tasty, which consisted of turkey, dressing, and gravy provided by the kitchen committee and with all the fixins provided by the membership — yum! Thanks to those who provided; we are blessed!
Kindness
We ended the meeting on another note — the day we met was World Kindness Day. The purpose of this day celebrated on Nov. 13 of each year is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together.
Till next month — Aloha!
