LEARNING

Michael P. Barrett Executive Director

Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway

The Capital District is widely considered to be one of the “birthplaces of the American

Industrial Revolution.” Nineteenth century entrepreneurs flocked to this area and consciously

used the cutting-edge technology of their day to transform the dominant rural-agrarian

lifestyle into an infrastructure devoted to advancement of an American industrial enterprise.

Developments in transportation, including the Erie Canal and railroads, were coupled with

development of investment banking resources as well as advanced educational opportunity,

to lead to our modern urban-industrial way of life. Inventions and developments here

produced many of the components of our modern lifestyle, such as practical clothing,

effective labor organizations, labor saving devices and mass-produced food. Their clear

understanding of the cultural dimension of this technological change gave direction to some

highly celebrated engineering innovations.

This presentation will be held in our Great Room. Please RSVP if you are interested.

Live Well Age Well

The Connected Life Program focuses on

highlighting the four key aspects we believe are a

vital part of a healthy, happy, and balanced life.

Residents are able to choose activities and programs

that complement their personal tastes in Health &

Fitness, Lifelong Learning, Community Activities,

and Leisure & Recreation. The best part? All

programs are free for our residents along with a daily

continental breakfast.

This includes all of our wellness activities, referrals

to community service providers, an array of

educational programs, choices of weekly recreational

events, regular social opportunities and gatherings,

transportation services for shopping, medical visits,

and so much more!

As seniors, sometimes we think we have

seen (and know) it all, but as John Wooden

once said “It’s what you learn after you

know it all that counts.” We have monthly

lectures and presentations on an array of

topics to stimulate the mind.

LEARNING

Being part of a community is more than

just being neighbors. It’s individuals com-

ing together to build each other up, share

similar interests, laugh together, and help

each other grow.

ACTIVITIES

Healthy living is an integral part of the

Connected Life Program. Whether you’re

a devoted yoga class-goer, enjoy taking

evening walks with a friend, love water

aerobics, or just need to meditate in the

morning before you start your day, our

Health program has something for you.

HEALTH

Summit residents are never without an

opportunity to have some fun. Whether

it’s trying their hand at a friendly game

of cards, unwinding in the salon, perfect-

ing their cross stitch, or just relaxing and

catching up with other residents.
