Seniors Have Fun with Chance Auction

SHARON SPRINGS — The April 11th luncheon meeting of the Sharon Silver & Gold Senior Club held at the Office for the Aging’s “Spa Ritz” meal site at the Sharon Springs Firehouse featured an engaging chance auction fundraising activity. 

These monthly gatherings offer a valuable opportunity for social activities, community, and connections for seniors from surrounding areas. 

For this month, thirty seniors had fun exploring the variety of items graciously donated by their fellow senior club members. Books, puzzles and candles dominated the items on display. 

Kathryn Lane, Jim Snyder and Joanne Fairchild helped facilitate the drawing of tickets and the distribution of items to winners. The winner of each item was determined by a random draw of purchased tickets.

This cheerful and fun spring get together created smiles and laughter that followed everyone home! 

Area seniors interested in more information about the club should contact Anne Lennebacker, president, at (607) 547-9055. 

The next Silver & Gold Senior Club luncheon meeting will be held on May 9th when Ann Thayer from the NY Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association will present information about dementia. Look out for more information soon!
