Ned gave recognition of people who have reached a milestone birthday (90). MaryAnn Audi, Mildred Cercone, Marion Dickerson and Marilyn Hasselbeck. They will be receiving Certificate and a Birthday Card.
Centennial Parade: Ned also gave information on September 17th Village of Colonie Centennial Parade. The parade route starts at 1pm at 16 Jupiter Lane to Central Avenue (the VOC is closing these portions of roads) to Lincoln Avenue to Cook Park where they will have refreshments afterward. Those who are riding on the TRS float will meet starting at Jupiter Lane starting 11am. The TRS Club is creating tee shirts (sizes will come in small, large and X-large) with Centennial and TRS information for this event. The information will come in the form of an iron on. They will be given to everyone riding on float. Barbara asked for volunteers to do the ironing of the decals onto white tee shirts. Volunteers so far: Barbara Williams, Helene O’Clair, Jackie Mendini, Goodie Scherer, Toni Cramer. Barbara said anyone interested in riding on float should stop in the office and leave your name with phone number. TRS pennants are also being created for participants to wave. They will also be throwing out packets of pretzels and potato chips to parade watchers.
Two new faces from Christ Our Light (Gloria and John) joined our meeting. Gloria also volunteered to help iron t-shirts. Liz recommended the trip committee should consider scheduling a cruise in 2023. TRS already had two (Alaska and Hawaii) in the past and everyone enjoyed them.
Raffle winners: Esther Cioffi, Chris Cardone and Dan Judge.
