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.
