SENIORS ALIVE! FOR AUGUST

HERE IS YOUR AUGUST 2017 ISSUE OF SENIORS ALIVE! 

 Lots of things going on for us seniors!  

 How about the annual chicken barbecue on August 24th, at noon, at the Deering Community Church? Bring a plate to share and get a break of a buck off the $5.00 price of admission: a salad if your family name ends in A-L and a dessert if you're an M-Z. To reserve your chicken, call Marie Merrow (464-3067) before 17 August.

There will be several shopping trips in August and on  21 September GHSS is heading for Foster's Clambake in York, Maine. There's a whole bunch of things on the menu in addition to clams. Check it out in the newsletter and then give Marie Mogavero a call (464-4726) to reserve your place. The all inclusive price is $38.00 to get you there, fed, and safely back home again.

One of the best vacation deals in the country is going to disappear before long!

The price for a lifetime America the Beautiful -- The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass is going to jump from $10.00 to $80.00 on 28  August. Now, mind you, at $80.00 this pass is still a bargain and the additional funds will go toward 'enhancing the visitor experience' at our national parks and other lands (even though it could be said that we seniors have paid our dues and this is just one more way to stiff seniors.) Even if you are only sort of, kind of thinking that you  might one day visit a national park sometime in what we hope will be a very long life, it would behoove you to buy the pass while it's still only $10.00. You can get your National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior Pass application at Hillsborough's Fuller library or, on line, at thttps://store.usgs.gov/senior-pass.

Your application must be postmarked no later than 28 August 2017.
