Queensbury Seniors

About Us

Queensbury Senior Citizens, Inc. (QSC) is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping our members age well through programs and services that foster social connection, promote health and wellness, encourage lifelong learning, and inspire members to give back to the community.

Our 1,400+ members are a wonderful group with varied interests, spanning in age from 50 to over 100, and in location from as near as Queensbury, Glens Falls, and Lake George and as far as the Albany area. We pride ourselves on offering programming to meet the interests and needs of three different generations of older adults.

Our History

Realizing the need for programs and services for senior citizens in the town of Queensbury, citizen Arthur Turnbull in January of 1980 successfully persuaded the Queensbury town board to form a senior citizens committee. On March 7, 1980 a group of more than 100 like-minded seniors met at the Queensbury town hall to elect the first slate of officers with Turnbull as President, and on March 17, 1980 the group’s first monthly meeting was held at the Mohican Grange Hall. Two months later on April 28, 1980 a Certificate of Incorporation was filed and Queensbury Senior Citizens Inc. (QSC) was born.

Programs and Activities Offered

Our regularly scheduled programs and events are as follows:

Weekly Activities

A wide variety of weekly activities are offered to our members with a focus on physical and mental wellness, socialization, and entertainment.

Mornings at QSC are filled with our popular instructed exercise classes, which include options for low impact cardio, weight training, osteoporosis prevention, relaxation, and balance.

Afternoons are lively with group games, including Mahjong, Bridge, Dominoes, Pitch, Pinochle, and more, as well as workshops for continued learning, and our special events.

Special Events

Our signature events and socials are a favorite amongst our members and always draw a crowd. Some of our top events include Cookouts in the Grove, Soup-er Bowl, the Golden Senior Luncheon, Annual Pie Contest, and a range of Holiday Parties.

Our fundraising events are equally well attended by members and the greater community alike, and include our Spring and Fall Book Sale, Golf Tournament, Basket Raffle, Cookie Walk, and more.
