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.
