Members listed a Medicare-focused presentation by a speaker named Mike set for mid-October (Oct. 15 was cited) and said Blue Cross Blue Shield representatives are planned to visit Nov. 25. The group acknowledged inconsistencies in speaker identification and said details would be confirmed before promotion.

On trips, volunteers described a Lancaster package that includes two shows, touring and meals, and quoted a price of $655 per person covering transportation, show tickets and some meals. The trip organizer said she was working through a waiting list and collecting final payments from participants.

Outreach items included recurring program contacts and thank-you notes to donors of produce and supplies. Members discussed bringing cards and visits to a local resident in a Worcester program and to other seniors who are homebound, using volunteers to make phone calls and deliver notices.

The group also reviewed the Friends committee’s scholarship work and said the committee has had member turnover; the friends will continue scholarship awards but will scale back event activity unless new volunteers join the scholarship/“cash” committee.","The Hubbardston Senior Center reviewed outreach contacts, upcoming speakers on insurance/Medicare, and a Lancaster (Sight & Sound/Dutch Apple) trip.

The group also reviewed plans for bathroom improvements and discussed immediate maintenance tasks to prevent further water damage to the building deck and sign.

Members said contractors or volunteers will install a new subfloor before finishing the two office floors. The meeting recorded plans to purchase a higher (handicap-style) toilet fixture and a small sink for a remodeled bathroom; the group discussed closing the small bathroom door temporarily and using other restrooms for events while work is completed.

Attendees raised a water-intrusion concern: rain runoff and missing gutters have created a path for water that could damage the deck and surrounding soil, and volunteers asked the convener to contact local gutter installers for pricing. They also discussed repairing and repainting a weathered exterior sign board.

On crawl-space moisture, members suggested a basic treatment (borax was discussed) and said a new subfloor should reduce future dampness. No formal contracts, procurements or external approvals were finalized during the meeting; volunteers said they would gather estimates and bring cost details back to the group for approval.

The meeting also covered operational constraints while work is underway: staging donated items in a container, shifting meetings if the deck is under repair and limiting use of certain rooms during renovations.","Volunteers reported that interior painting and office flooring work are nearly complete and discussed next steps for a new subfloor, an accessible restroom fixture and exterior gutters and signage repair.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6467320,"Hubbardston senior volunteers finalize plans for yard sale, field day and October dance",795,238000,1033000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5805579-ca78f0fba4163a4f9848960d7c4831b3&start=238&end=1033","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5805579-ca78f0fba4163a4f9848960d7c4831b3/thumbnail_238000.jpg","/articles/6467320/Massachusetts/Hubbardston-senior-volunteers-finalize-plans-for-yard-sale-field-day-and-October-dance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467320-7a3bc0b480b27f603c96528ce228f309/orig.mp4?Expires=1770687579&Signature=X~HvrER1iM19ed2sVPz3fQZqIRpDiS5Cm34X7BfnRlhKgFSh9ADkAAVYJIKwXWI3p3Pxh0Ss-zXXwo8dAv0LevXKdmmeNtsjKOCxQSKDXgcYC4d1cn-MjW9rv~shjh-lsYU8cTu3Sa7W2QkaYY0cjVaK0XGeA1y0-F8oELh38uu1-c1Ce1AQd3LXnHGAk~GF7Ytyy9QvKCiMbHRQR02h0uy77HE4YbMYVh5WX6fDq7f~nyJQ~wCYTJs-Cb31MTAguENGlI07DyRu0BY4Wsj0-JWulc-jyCBMsSp0XmoTJJWy4ZT76-vBLE4gh~MgUcRm4reTZZiGGpFAfUndRkAOhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Hubbardston Senior Center Friends and Council spent the meeting finalizing details for a busy fall calendar that includes a yard sale, a field day and a Friends dance in October. They discussed advertising, donation intake, and supplies needed for a July/August cookout and a Thanksgiving dinner scheduled for Nov. 22.

The meeting focused first on timelines and publicity: organizers said the yard sale needs flyers and broader outreach beyond the center newsletter, and that the Friends dance would be publicized after the yard sale. Volunteers identified local print outlets and flyer distribution as immediate tasks.

Fundraising and staffing logistics dominated the discussion. Committee members said donated items for the yard sale should exclude electronics and that some donated tools and furniture are already staged for sale. Volunteers also reviewed staffing for the cookout and field-day setup, including arrangements to transport tables, tents and baskets to the event site a day early to reduce on-site labor.

Organizers confirmed the Friends dance will be an October event with a 7–10 p.m. run and a cash bar; they said a DJ from the community has been hired and that a photo booth and light refreshments will be offered. Ticket sales will be promoted after the yard sale and the group plans to approach Councils on Aging and other local community groups for outreach.

The group set short action items: produce and distribute flyers, coordinate pickup of large donated items, confirm volunteers to transport supplies, and confirm food and plate/silverware orders for the cookout. No new policy or formal contracts were approved at the meeting.

Less-urgent promotional tasks include placing ads in regional outlets and assembling raffle “money trees” the friends plan to sell tickets for at upcoming events.","Volunteers at the Hubbardston Senior Center reviewed logistics and promotion for a September yard sale, an upcoming field day and a Friends dance in October, and discussed short-term needs such as flyers, donations and supplies.","actionData","errors"]
