The Long Players (LPs) is a group of active older adults. (We remember when LPs were the newest in recorded music.) We are mostly retired but willing and able to participate in service, fix up projects, short trips and other social events. Usually we meet in the daytime on the third Thursday of the month during the school year . Anyone who is free at the times we meet is invited to join us, whatever age you are.

 Some activities we have enjoyed are sharing vacation trips, hobbies and other experiences and sometimes having lunch and a movie. We have also gone to local theater, been to lectures and the Garrison Keillor appearance at SU.

Fix up projects have included remodeling the chancel area and redecorating the ladies rest- room. Some of us worked on a lovely banner last year for display at Conference. Service projects are biennial cleaning of a stretch of route 11 and serving lunch once a month at the Rescue Mission. Both of these are coordinated by Bill Robbins. We are also hosts for the coffe time following the 10:30 service. This is coordinated by Elaine Mount.

Some trips we've taken include a fall folliage Adirondack RR and Lake Cruise,

a trip to Gonondagon Indian Village near Rochester

and to The Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport . On these outing we have dinner at a convenient restaurant.

We have gone on our own mission trip. We worked at the Church World Service Center in New Windsor, Md . On that trip we visited the historic Lovely Lane Church in Baltimore and some other significant Methodist sites. The evening we spent in Baltimore included a cruise in the harbor and seafood dinner.
