Scholarship Program for 2027
The Scotia-Glenville Senior Citizens will grant $1000 scholarships to four graduating seniors: three pursuing an academic path and one to a student pursuing a vocational/trade school career. Students living in the Glenville township are eligible. This includes Scotia and parts of Niskayuna, Galway, and Amsterdam. Applications for the Scholarship Program will be available from local high school and BOCES guidance offices and our reception desk at the end of October. Completed applications are due to the Scholarship Committee at the center by the last day of March 2027.

Senior Moments Mailing Party

Come join us for our mailing party as we prepare the Senior Moments newsletter for mailing. Volunteers perform the vital task of folding the newsletters and applying the pre-printed address labels for mailing. We meet in the Dining Center and complete the task usually within 1.5 hours. Refreshments will be served. Come join us and have some fun.
Thank you to all our new comers!!!!!!!!
Social Committee
First Tuesday of the month at 1 pm
The committee meets to plan events such as the ice cream social, senior picnic, veteran's appreciation lunch and holiday party. We need more volunteers. Committee members take on tasks such as gathering information, shopping for the event, setting up tables and chairs and working at the event. Ideas are always welcome. If you are interested in being on this committee or chairing it, please leave your name at the front desk.
Sunshine Committee
Do you know any member who is recovering from an illness/operation or the family of a member who has died? Or maybe a member who could use an extra ray of sunshine? We will send a card or make a phone call to let people know that they are in our thoughts and are special to us.
Contact Lois Renko or Sue Stilan at
the Center.
Gardening Volunteers Needed
Summer maintenance needed. Come on your own or with a friend to weed or deadhead. The right side of the center needs to be watered. Hose is set up.
