Croton Recreation Department Hosts Annual Senior Picnic at Senasqua Park
Seniors enjoy a delicious lunch donated by ShopRite and grilled by experts from the Village's Department of Public Works.
Here at the Chronicle, we sometimes worry that we are giving the impression that the only thing members of the Croton Senior Club do is eat, rather than, for example, hosting speakers about retirement and healthy living. But really, it’s not our fault if folks keep wanting to feed us. Today it was the turn of Croton’s Recreation Department to host a feast for us, and the kindness of our local ShopRite to provide the food. One might call the event “Hamburgers by the Hudson,” and there were hotdogs by the Hudson too.
(Once again, full disclosure, the Chronicle’s editor is a member in good standing of the Croton Senior Club, and thus cannot be expected to display journalistic objectivity under these circumstances.)
As usual, we were called to order by Senior Club president Bob Anderson, who first led us in the Pledge of Allegiance (there is a strategically placed American flag at Senasqua Park), called for a moment of silence for those members we had sadly lost, pointed us to where the food was, and then led us in a robust round of calisthenics before we could eat it.
We’re not quite sure when the Senior Club will be eating again, but we will continue to keep readers well informed about its activities. And if you are feeling left out because you are not a senior, not to worry: The Croton Lions Club is holding its 2024 Annual BBQ next Thursday, August 22—also at Senasqua Park—and there is still time to sign up. The Chronicle expects to provide our usual in-depth coverage of that event as well.
