Glenville Senior Center (518) 374-0734 The Best of the Best Senior Center 2020 awarded by the Daily Gazette... AARP Tax aide volunteers are unable to provide in-person tax assistance while the Covid-19 numbers are so high. Possibly the service can resume if the community spread rate drops. They are working on a possible all virtual model, which is uncertain at this time. If you have other tax preparation options, it is advisable to utilize them this year. IRS offers free-file for most people with an income below $72K. All you need is a computer, a printer & an email address (and perhaps a younger relative who can help you through it). One of our AARP Tax aide volunteers can talk you through getting started with this if you are interested.. Do not reply to this email. Contact [email protected]

Hoping you are all doing well. Because we are closed, our membership sign up is a bit behind. There are membership applications in the newsletter. You can fill it out, enclose it with your check, & mail it to the Senior Center. We don’t want to lose any members & this will ensure you keep getting the newsletter & know everything that is going on. Please renew & stay safe.

Due to changes in the roll out process, anyone who has contacted the Glenville Senior Center regarding the vaccine should register via the methods described in this post. We have submitted the information collected to the County, but the response has overwhelmed the process set up. Please register again using the new methods. Thank you for being patient as we navigate this process.

The Glenville Senior Center is closed until further notice. Please watch Facebook and the senior website for details about upcoming Zoom events and other activities to keep everyone engaged during this time. Even better, members can sign up for our email list to receive more regular updates. Stay well, everyone.

From Flo Kimmel McClure: I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully we will see each other soon.

The Glenville Senior Center will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
