The Senior Center has been awarded the Friend of Extension Award for the 2020- 2021 year. This award is given to organizations who have worked closely with Cornell Extension during the year. The Lake Luzerne Senior Center has been exemplary in collaborative work with the nutrition and healthy living program.
Thank you to all of you who have participated in the many programs offered by Mary Beth Mitchum. We have been working with Cornell Extension since 2018 and have covered so many programs and we have had 269 participants attend.
A big thank you goes to Gene Merlino and his town board who had a vision for our community to provide our Senior Center and Meal Site.
I have included last months summary so you can see how things are growing at the Center.
