SUMMARY:The Incredible\, Edible Egg

SUMMARY:February’s Sacred Space Visit - St. Joseph Church
DESCRIPTION:The journey continues on Wednesday\, February 20\, as we visit another area sacred space. Join Diane Conroy-LaCivita as she travels to St. Joseph Church in South Troy. \nSt. Joseph Church\, once referred to as the “Ironworker’s Church\,” was founded May 2\, 1847\, by Fr. Peter Havermans. In 1848 the Church\, serving a mostly Irish-American Community in South Troy\, came under the care of Jesuits. \nThe church building is Gothic\, cruciform in shape\, and erected in the basic style of the 13th century architecture. The Main Altar was built of purest statuary marble and onyx\, upon which DeVinci’s Last Supper is carved in Italian Carrara marble. The Stations were imported from Munich\, Germany\, and St. Joseph Church is host to the second largest collection of Tiffany Stained Glass Windows in the United States. Sometime between 1902-1912\, the Pulpit and Baptistry were added. The Baptistry is complete with Tiffany stained glass depictions of St John the Baptist\, Mary\, and the infant\, Jesus. \nThe CSSC shuttle bus will leave The Beltrone Living Center at 9:30 a.m. and return at approximately 11:30 a.m. \nTo make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302.

SUMMARY:Chocolate Anyone?
DESCRIPTION:There are only so many kinds of food people treasure. “Craved\, savored and given as a symbol of one’s love. Yet\, so common it can be purchased for 50 cents. This treasured\, as well as commonplace item is chocolate” (CNN\, 1997). \nAmericans eat up to twelve pounds of chocolate every year\, but we are not the winners by far when it comes to chocolate consumption—that honor goes to the Swiss\, who wolf down twenty-two pounds a year. \nIt is hard to think of a Valentine’s Day plan that does not involve food\, specifically\, dessert\, even more specifically\, a chocolate dessert. Join CSSC staff on Tuesday\, February 12\, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.\, as we demonstrate several of our favorite chocolate recipes. \nThe class will take place at King Thiel Senior Community\, 17 Elks Lane\, with a $5 fee and will include lunch. Space is limited and prepayment for the class is required. To make a reservation\, please call Sharon Herald at 518-459-2857 ext. 302.

Join Diane Conroy-LaCivita as she travels to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in downtown Albany. \nSt. Peter’s Episcopal Church has served as an active center of worship for over three hundred years.

Barclay soon oversaw the building of the first Anglican church in Albany and the first service was held in this edifice in November of 1716.

SUMMARY:Thanks for Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:A caregiver is a person who has accepted responsibility for looking after a vulnerable neighbor or relative. A caregiver assists others in need\, putting the needs and wants of the one they are caring for ahead of their own. This unselfish act ensures the safety and well-being of those in their care. \nOn Tuesday\, November 20\, at 4 p.m.\, at The Beltrone Living Center\, Bright Horizons Adult Day Social Program will honor the caregivers of our seventy-nine members. One of our guest speakers will be Diana Wells who will share techniques for self-healing through Qi Gong. Other speakers will include Bright Horizons staff\, volunteers\, and members\, CSSC board members\, and our very special guests—our dedicated caregivers. We will have an open microphone available for anyone who would like to share their story. We hope you are able to join us for this special event. Refreshments\, entertainment\, and pies for Thanksgiving will be given to each caregiver to enjoy at their Thanksgiving table. If you have any questions\, please contact Sue Napierski at 518-459-7967.
