Senior Moments Mailing Party
Thursday, June 19th
9 AM
Come join us for our mailing party as we prepare the Senior Moments newsletter for mailing. Volunteers perform the vital task of folding the newsletters and applying the pre-printed address labels for mailing. We meet in the Dining Center and complete the task usually within 1.5 hours. 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
Please sign up to volunteer with the Gardening Committee. Help is welcome Spring, Summer, and Fall as we maintain the facility's gardens. Green thumb and experience not necessary!
Leave your name at the front desk.

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!
