GOLDEN GATHERING BRINGS CRITICAL RESOURCES TO HUNDREDS OF LOCAL SENIORS

LAGRANGEVILLE, NY—Hundreds of local seniors turned out yesterday for the Second Annual Senior Golden Gathering hosted by Senator Sue Serino at Arlington High School. The event brought over one hundred local businesses and organizations together to provide area seniors with unique access to critical health screenings, flu shots and resources aimed at helping them improve their quality of life.

“Our seniors play a significant role in our community and ensuring that they have the resources they need to age in place, right here in our community, has been one of my highest priorities,” said Senator Serino, who Chairs the Senate’s Aging Committee. “The Golden Gathering is a fun and unique way for our seniors to come together, engage with one another, and learn about all the resources available locally that can help them age better.”

Over twenty local businesses donated door prizes that were raffled off throughout the event following entertainment provided by the famous Bob Martinson and the Golden Age Singers. New to this year’s event, the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office was on hand to help our seniors safely dispose of their unused prescription drugs.  

“The number of businesses, organizations and volunteers that come together to make this day a reality for our seniors, is truly amazing,” Serino continued. “I am especially grateful to the McCann Charitable Trust for making this event possible once again, and to the Dutchess County Office for the Aging who truly goes above and beyond for our seniors, not only in support of this event, but each and every day. Thank you to all of the organizations, volunteers and Arlington High School staffers who made our Second Annual Golden Gathering a huge success!”
