News about members

Yesterday I received good news and bad news about two of our members.

Lilo Trimarco, a long-time member of Southern Tier Seniors, passed away. Her husband, Joe, is also a faithful member of our Club. Lilo will be greatly missed - she was very active in the group, went on many of the trips, was just a fun-loving person to be around, and a very patriotic lover of America.

Our vice-president, Pam, will be going home this week after having rehab on her leg/hip. We wish Pam a speady recovery and are happy that she's looking forward to coming to the meetings again. Our best wishes go out to her.

If you'd like to send a card to either Joe or Pam, I know they would appreciate that. Don't know their addresses? - call Betty, Jim or me.

February 4, 2015 Meeting

Today's meeting was great! Even though it was cold outside and we had some snow flurries, about 45 members were able to attend. Many wore red for our Valentine's theme and lots of prizes were given out. Chocolate heart candies were given as door prizes, and raffles were held  for $$ prizes for 50/50 and money toward a day trip. We also played games - coin toss - best yo-yo er - and dart throw. Prizes were awarded to the winners.
JoAnn, our travel coordinator, reminded everyone about the March 9th trip to Westchester's Broadway Theatre to see "Rhythm of the Dance." If you don't have your ticket yet, call JoAnn at (845) 756-2960. Our trips are open to the public.
Also, mark your calendars for up-coming trips: Mt. Airy Casino (April 15th), A Dutch Apple Cruise & Albany City Tour w/guide (May 27th) and Saratoga Casino (June 16th).
