Catherine Stone
Adult Recreation Program
The Town of Le Roy along with the Village of Le Roy and the Town of Stafford share in the sponsorship of a Senior Citizen Program for their residents over the age of sixty. This program is managed by a Director, Catherine Stone, who conducts this program. Its design is one that will appeal to the residents of this area and is chosen by a representative group of members for both monthly programs and day trips who meet once a year for this purpose.
Update: Please see the 2011 Summer Program page
The program works around a once in a month, the 3rd Wednesday of the month, with a pot luck supper followed by a program of entertainment. Facilities are rented at the Knights of Columbus Hall for this meeting with the supper starting at 6:00 PM. Members take one turn a year to serve as helpers, setting and clearing tables. At these meetings members are informed by receiving a News Letter of day trips available (about four a year). Earlier in the month notices are sent by the Director to all the churches in the area as well as the Le Roy Pennysaver, Daily News, Town Clerks Office in Stafford and The Drummer informing them of the current meeting and the entertainment for that meeting.. Seasonally other programs are offered. October 1 to March 31 residents of these areas may bowl two games a week at the Le Roy Legion Lanes for $.50 each game with the club paying the balance. From May 1st to Sept. 30. nine holes of golf are available at Sweetland Pines on a weekly basis with the club paying $3.00 and the participant paying the balance. Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM one hour art lessons are available with materials being furnished and the participants paying .50 each to defray rental costs of the church room being used.
The Towns and Village help defray costs of the day trip by paying most of the costs of the bus and the participant paying the balance of the meal and program at the destination of the day trip. Approximate cost of these trips to the participant is from $30.00 to $40.00 for the full days entertainment.
Due to costs of mailing it would be prohibitive to mail to each member every month but by attending the Wednesday night pot luck supper they will receive their Newsletter which includes activities for about the next two months.
You may call the Director Catherine Stone for any questions or more information at 585-768-2055.
