Center

Boyle Senior Center, Inc., invites all senior citizens of Cayuga County to participate in its recreational, educational, cultural, and community service programs.

We serve as an information center to answer your concerns and needs.

May is a busy and exciting time of year with Spring in the air, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and Older American’s Month –just look at our calendar!

Older American’s Month was first celebrated in May of 1963 and continues to take place each May in the community. There will be many activities taking place but be sure to sign up for one, or both of the luncheons available. Senior Citizen Day will be celebrated on May 16th at 12:15pm at Auburn High School and with the Cayuga County Legislatures at Emerson Park on May 28th at 12pm.

Program Director, Robin Debenedetto, and I are so proud to have the opportunity to be here to ensure the seniors of this community have choices to engage in activities, and be educated on the vast resources available. We have such a great venue at the Boyle Center with it’s central location, open space, and collaboration with other community organizations.

Robin and I are eager to meet the needs of the residents of the Boyle Center and the seniors of Cayuga County. We are continuing to have several daily activities available, as well as, services, entertainers, and monthly Health and Wellness Programs. Please join us this month for lots of entertainment, Leader Chiropractic, education about hearing and vision services from AURORA of CNY, a Sock Hop, Jeff Pirozzolo, Superintendent of Auburn City Schools to discuss the upcom-ing budget vote and much more.

May Birthdays

“You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.” -George Burns

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRIENDS!

ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

Message from your friendly, hard-

working maintenance staff!

Spring has sprung and so has the grass. Keep in

mind that we have to mow along the

curb of the parking lot, so please

keep your cars behind the curb when

parking.

Reminder...Please continue to utilize your “I’m Ok” door knob hanger

everyday! This is for your own safety & well being! Thank you for your

cooperation.

Beware the first step - its

ramifications will be evident

in your future.

Knowledge does not equate

with wisdom.

Your mind controls your

body and heals it.

Program your mind and the

results will amaze you.

Like a sweater that

unravels easily, let us

beware of the

first step which

can overwhelm

us.

--Lucy Cacciotti

Spring S - Shedding winter coats and boots

R - Robins soon to reappear

I - It’s Less time spent indoors

N - Nights growing shorter as days grow longer

G - Gardens soon to bloom in the Spring rain Put them all together and they spell Spring my most favorite time of the year. -Carol Wiseman

May & October Two of the prettiest months of the year are May and October.

May, when we are well into Spring, the flowers are in bloom,

the weather is warmer and the trees and grass are at the greenest. October, is the first full month of Fall.

The trees take on a different color of orange, red and brown and make a beautiful carpet

as they fall to the ground. --Carol Wiseman

The Words - Don't get mad, get even - sends shivers down my spine. --Lucy Cacciotti Beware - Your past forecasts your future -- for good or bad. --Lucy Cacciotti Quote - "Devil is confusion God is clarity." --Anonymous submitted by Lucy Cacciotti Write your own sins down and you cannot honestly condemn or criticize another. --Lucy Cacciotti The more we admit our faults the less we criticize others. --Lucy Cacciotti

It’s Your Page... Please have your sub-

missions to the Service

Coordinator or Program

Director by the 24th of

each month. All late

submissions will be

printed the next month.

Over 50 years ago, Older American’s were recognized and celebrated in the Month of May. The Administration for Community Living reports, “By engaging and supporting all community members, we recognize that older

adults play a key role in the vitality of our neighborhoods, networks, and lives.” Communities like the Boyle Center that encourage and recognize the contributions of older adults are stronger! The 2019 theme, Connect, Create, Contribute, encourages older adults and their communities to:

• Connect with friends, family, and services that support participation.

• Create by engaging in activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment.

• Contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others.

Please join us in celebrating Older Americans Month and in helping us honor our local Senior Citizen(s) of the Year at Emerson Park!
