The Drive-Thru Senior Golden Gathering is back!

Since 2015, I have partnered with the Dutchess County Office for the Aging to bring critical resources and flu shots directly to local seniors at the annual Senior Golden Gathering. This year, to help keep our seniors safe and healthy, the Golden Gathering will once again be a ‘drive-thru’ style event. 

The event will be held on Saturday, September 24th, so be sure to mark your calendars now! As always, the event will be held at Arlington High School where participants will be able to drive through the parking lot to collect a bag of resource materials, a healthy ‘to-go’ meal and a flu shot if you choose to receive one—all from the comfort of your vehicle. 

Once again, an RSVP is required to ensure enough flu shots and prepared meals are available. 

Seniors who wish to participate must call the Golden Gathering hotline at 914-962-2624 to reserve their spot.  Priority for flu shots will be given to community members aged 60 and above, but caretakers or family members accompanying seniors to the event may also RSVP to receive a flu shot.

While the event will once again run between 9:30am and 12:30pm, those choosing to receive a flu shot are asked to bring a photo I.D. and an insurance card, and all attendees will be given a designated time to arrive to ensure a safe and timely flow of traffic at the event. 

As always, this event is FREE for all local seniors. For more information, or questions about the Golden Gathering, call 914-962-2624.  I encourage you to share this message with friends and family who may wish to attend and I can’t wait to see you there!
