Senior moments

This has been a week to celebrate and honor the active senior citizens of Cayuga County. Organizations like the YMCA, the Cato-Meridian Recreation Center and the Champions for Life Sports Center opened their facilities to local seniors.

But many seniors stay active yearround, not only by participating in sports or crafts, but by lending their talents and experience to people and agencies that need them.

“I like to volunteer,” said Gloria DeMarco, a resident of the Boyle Center in Auburn. “I'll go wherever Ormie King says there's a need.” Ormie King is a volunteer driver for the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program, which is more well-known as RSVP.
