Thank You from our AARP Taxaide Volunteers
The seven AARP Taxaide volunteers wish to thank the Glenville Senior Center for providing us with work space and desk volunteer time that helps our program provide free tac filing assistance to many people. For the 2024 tac filing year, we electronically filed 267 returns. One hundred sixty-seven taxpayers received refunds amounting to $224,164 being put back into our community economy.
Scholarship Winners
The Scotia-Glenville Senior Citizens, Inc. recently awarded their annual $1,000 scholarships to each of four exceptional and well-rounded high school seniors living in the township of Glenville High School. The winners are Gianni DeCarlo and Aiden Wiegert from Scotia Glenville and Genevieve Hart and Jackson Varro from Burnt Hills. The students received their scholarships at their school's award ceremonies in June.

Come join us for our mailing party as we prepare the Senior Moments newsletter for mailing.

Refreshments will be served. Come join us and have some fun.
Social Committee
First Tuesday of the month at 1 pm
The committee meets to plan events such as the ice cream social, senior picnic, veteran's appreciation lunch and holiday party. We need more volunteers. Committee members take on tasks such as gathering information, shopping for the event, setting up tables and chairs and working at the event. Ideas are always welcome. If you are interested in being on this committee or chairing it, please leave your name at the front desk.
Sunshine Committee
Do you know any member who is recovering from an illness/operation or the family of a member who has died? Or maybe a member who could use an extra ray of sunshine? We will send a card or make a phone call to let people know that they are in our thoughts and are special to us.
Contact Lori Preddice at the center.
Gardening Volunteers
On the main bulletin board, there is a sign up sheet to select a week to assist with the gardens - weeding and deadheading flowers. Help is welcome throughout the summer and fall as we maintain the facility's gardens. Green thumb not necessary! - Barbara Brown Chair

A Note from the Scotia Historian
Several initiatives are coming up in 2025: the Erie Canal Bicentennial and start to the USA 250th, projects to reopen the Flint House to the publish and reviving the Scotia Historical Society.
We will need people to help plan and staff events; search historic topics; share skill at an event, lecture, or class; scan and photograph collections; do handyman and gardening.
If you are interested in finding out about these plans - or you know a younger adult or teenager who is looking for a project - send me your email address. I will let you know what ideas we are working on and when we have meetings scheduled.
I hope to hear from you!
