With over 110 active members now, Shenendehowa Neighbors Connecting (SNC) gives
older adults the opportunity to form friendships, enjoy a rich and independent lifestyle,
and build supportive community connections that help them age successfully at home.
Centered in southern Saratoga County, we are a grass roots organization of residents
aged 55 and older. SNC offers at least one activity each month to inform, entertain, and
engage local seniors. Many of our programs are open to the public.

Our past events have included talks for the public such as “Staying Safe at Home,” local
history, and Storytellers from Story Circle. We have had guided walks in local parks and
farms, docent led visits to historic sites, and trips to local theaters. We have coffee
gatherings, pool parties, potluck suppers, technology training, and more. Members are
encouraged to form special interest groups to pursue hobbies or loves, such as hiking
or theater, with like-minded members.

SNC, in cooperation with CAPTAIN and Care Links, offers members links to county and
community resources that can provide support with transportation, home care, and
other needs. Our organization also gives members who want to invest time and energy -
in their own and their neighbors' futures - a rewarding opportunity to be "community
builders."

SNC was organized in 2018 as a self-governing not-for-profit corporation. We are a
local senior citizen Village that offers social and service connections designed to help
members stay active and engaged and continue to live independently in their own
homes. SNC is part of the national Village to Village Network that helps Villages like
ours across the country work together to help their members “age in community” by
providing regular social activities and access to the services they require.

Membership dues remain quite low in large part due to the several grants we have
received. The Town of Clifton Park and Saratoga County have generously supported
Shen Neighbors with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. We have also been
successful in several other grant applications during and prior to the Covid shutdown.
As society rebounds from the pandemic, we are proud and excited to continue to build
our membership, outreach, and programming.
Come and join us!
