Happy Birthday Jennie -103 Years Young and Still Rocking and Rolling
Wednesday, May 24th
Please join the Rensselaer County Rensselaer Senior Center as we celebrate an amazing woman.
Jeannie Carpinello has been a active member of our Center for decades. She was a part of the Rensselaer County Senior Center Rockettes and in the Yankee Doodle Entertainers and a Lifetime Achivement’s Awardee just to mention a few of her accomplishments. Jennie still dances with our line dancer’s on Tuesday and Wednesday. You would be amazed to see her on the dance floor kicking, tapping, and spinning to the beat. She notices when there is someone new trying the class and you will hear her say “ I’ll dance next to you just in case you need some help”.
Plan to join us on this “Special Day”. To describe her as amazing just doesn’t seem enough so let me add Astonishing, Outstanding, Stunning, Extraordinary, Incredible, Jaw Dropping Eye Opening, Phenomenal ETC … you get the drift. Luncheon menu will consist of Sausage, Peppers, and Onions w/ Pasta and special Birthday Cake. Music by The Young Winchesters. Make your reservation early at (518) 463-2166. This will be a day you won’t forget.
We are located on East and Herrick Streets in Rensselaer. We are open 9am to 3pm Monday through Friday. Looking forward to seeing you.
Is All Your Paperwork Done Before You Leave This World?
The Rensselaer County Senior Center will be hosting a number of informational sessions on Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, Wills, Trusts and so much more.
Just an over the counter drug can affect you in a negative way and put into question your cognitive ability. Our esteemed Director in Schodack Barb Fausner had a terrible experience with Benadryl “She took a trip and never left the farm”. She’d be willing to share her experience with you.
Don’t let someone else decide your last years of life. Take care of your business while there is no question of your ability. The court could appoint someone you never would have chosen to care for you and you would have no choice. Make life decisions easy. Take care of business. Bring a Friend This is Important
Join Elder Attorney John Florsch of Fowler, Doyle, Spiess & Florsch on Thursday, May 18th 11am.
Keep reading the advertiser for our schedule of attorneys and dates. We are open 9am to 3pm and are located on East and Herrick Streets in Rensselaer. Call (518) 463-2166 for more information.
