Safe Driving Classes Available The Steuben County Office for the

Aging is offering driver safety courses for senior citizens. Consider

taking a course to brush up on skills and reduce your auto insurance!

We all equate access to transportation with our independence. There are

strategies to promote driver safety, which can mean driving safer

longer. You can call the Office for the Aging at 607-664-2322 or email

them at NYCONNECTS@co.steuben.ny.us for more information or to

register for classes.

Happy & Healthy 2016!

A few items to remember:

No Potluck Dinner on January 4

There is a new “delivered dinners” schedule—please check the community room bulletin board

for details and to sign up for your favorites

Please tie your doggy waste bags before putting them in the containers...otherwise a hideous mess

ensues!

OUR BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED ENTRANCE—WELCOME, WINTER!

COFFEE HOURS TO RESUME?? There has been some discussion about resuming

the monthly Coffee Hour. This would require at least two people to set up and provide

coffee and breakfast items for those who participate. There is a signup sheet in the Com-

munity Room for anyone who is interested in choosing a particular month. Or see Robin

for more information.

A CA LAM AR SE NIOR

This article was in last

month’s newsletter but it

bears repeating. Each year

there seems to be some appre-

hension about the upcoming

winter season with regard to

snowplowing our parking lot.

This year we aim to make it

easier. We will no longer

have a scheduled time to

move cars from front to

back, because no matter

how hard we tried, people

still got confused and invaria-

bly someone would get

plowed in.

This year let’s make it

simple. If the weather report

forecasts snow, move your car

to the front of the building.

When the plow comes, he will

do the back first. When the

back is completed, you can

move your car to the back.

This can be easy but the bot-

tom line is: residents need to

be aware of any impending

snowfall. If it snows in the

middle of the night and you

have not moved your car in

anticipation of the storm, you

will be plowed in. And no

one wants that. Thank you!

DON’T GET PLOWED IN THIS SEASON!
