Senior duo volunteer help Bethlehem senior citizens

A pair of RCS seniors are volunteering to serve and entertain senior citizens in the town of Bethlehem.

The students – who started volunteering and performing in March – will reprise those activities next month when they attend the monthly luncheon and musical performance of the Senior Projects of Ravena, Stars Intergen Corp. and the Town of Bethlehem Senior Services. The gathering will take place May 28 from 12:45 p.m.- 2:30 p.m. at the First Reformed Church of Bethlehem, just off state Rt. 9W in Selkirk.

The students - Joe Lisa and Jordan Lane – help prepare and serve meals and do “whatever else is needed,” said teacher Adam Sutton.

Doing “whatever else is needed” included asking a couple of the senior citizens to dance, “which thrilled the seniors,” said Stars Intergen Corp. Executive Director Karen Harmon.  

Approximately 40 senior citizens attend the monthly gathering, she said.

“Jordan and Joe add a special touch to the program and make it truly intergenerational,” she said.
