It’s been another busy week for our SHARP seniors and I am pleased to announce our new logo and slogan, “The older we get, the sharper we get!”
The slogan was devised by Margaret Vandelinder and the logo was the collaborative effort of senior participants Penny Smedley, Barb Proper, and Hazel Delavia.
Carolyn Trimbach, Margaret Vandelinder and Vince Nells participated in the Town of Webb School’s Read-In Night on Wednesday, March 4 by reading to the elementary students. The event was a tie-in to their Parents as Reading Partners (PARP) program and was very enjoyable.
We remind all our members that on Friday, March 13 we will be joining in the fun of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and following we will attend the TOW School musical. Meet at Niccolls Church at 4 p.m.
During our Wednesday, March 18 gathering, SHARPERs can watch and discuss a movie, enjoy the Let’s Dance exercise, or join the Forever Young group at TOW School.
On Friday, March 20 we can go downhill skiing at McCauley Mt. Meet at the McCauley Chalet at 9 a.m.; lift tickets are $12. Please RSVP by March 18. (See contact info below.)
Musician Bob Liddle will perform the morning of our Wednesday, March 25 session.
In the afternoon there will be our “Walk This Way” activity, card and word games. The “Forever Young” group will be going to the TOW School to listen to children read.
“No Foolin’ All Game Day!” is the theme of a day filled with fun and games on Wednesday, April 1.
Come try your hand at carpetball, foosball, ping pong and shuffleboard. There will be sports cards collections to see, card games to play and lots of sports trivia too. There will be prizes and lots of fun. I’m not foolin’ when I say that everyone will have a good time!
Just a reminder that all senior citizens from Woodgate to Raquette Lake are invited to join us Wednesdays or for any or all of our events which are free of charge unless otherwise noted.
Lunch during our regular Wednesday sessions is provided by the Town of Webb Health Center Fund. We meet at Niccolls Memorial Church in Old Forge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday.
