Hello! Hoping all of you are staying safe and doing well. I am busy cleaning, sorting out things that have been collecting dust, and trying to cut back on the amount of food that I have been consuming since this COVID-19 virus hit!
Things are so different for all of us — no gatherings for meetings, which was a once-a-month highlight for many of us. I have been trying to figure out a plan to meet but to no avail.
I talked with the county’s commissioner of the Office of The Aging and she suggests we continue to stay home and be safe. However, she did mention that down-the-road we seniors will have some surprises coming our way. She will notify me when this happens and I will be calling all of you to give you heads-up on when this will take place and can’t wait to see what is in store!
In the meantime, if any of you need anything, please let me know.
Be someone’s “sunshine” when their skies are gray.
Your president misses you all.

A special “hello” to all the Hilltown Seniors! I think about you all everyday and yes, talk to some of you as we reach out to one another!
I remember the last time we met for our gathering at the Hilltown Senior Access Center, which was in January 2020! February brought us a snowstorm so I cancelled our get-together so that we could stay safe in our homes.
It looks like March was the beginning of the coronavirus and again, we were told to stay home. It seems like we will continue to stay home until this virus is over!
We senior citizens are vulnerable and the reason why is because our immune systems are less effective at fighting infections as we get older and we often have multiple other chronic diseases that can complicate this virus. So, we are self-distancing and wearing our masks and staying at home as much as possible.
I have been thinking about the trips that we cancelled and hope 2021 brings on many more to make up for the ones we have missed.
When will we meet again? That is a good question that I do not have the answer to.
I’m thinking I will make plans for a Christmas Party with a “Knock Your Socks Off” theme — so wear your pretty socks to the party!
Well wishes to my wonderful seniors — stay safe!
