Neighbors Helping Neighbors!
Now more than ever community support is so important and impactful! The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) offers the support someone needs to remain living at home either with grocery shopping needs, visiting or phone reassurance. If you are 55+ contact us to hear how your help may improve the quality of life of an elderly or disabled person by volunteering around your schedule to help a neighbor in your community.
We are here to engage, enlighten, and inspire each other.

FROM THE DESK OF MARY JO RILEY
During the height of the pandemic, we learned that wearing masks, frequent hand
washing and use of hand sanitizer kept us safer from getting the Covid19 infection.
What we also learned is that there was very little flu during flu season and hardly anyone
out there with a cold or bronchitis. Since reopening the center in July, staff has started
to see an increase in people with summer colds. Maybe it is time to apply some of our
Covid safety precautions to every day infections.
Currently, MASKS are required to be worn by ANYONE in our center. This includes
those who have been vaccinated. We deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Keep diligently
washing your hands and using the hand sanitizer that is around the building. Let’s see if this year we can keep
infections down in the building.
On another note, we only have the front doors open for people to enter and we ask that you do not prop doors
open in the back to let people in. We are doing this because we are still following protocol for contact tracing.
Though Covid-19 has significantly decreased, this continues to be important. One thing we have noticed is that
we have more people signing in when someone is sitting there asking you to sign in than if we left it to do on
your own. This is a good thing as we now have better statistics as to how many are using our building. We hope
that by mid fall, we will have the back doors open again but will be looking to see if the number signing in drops
when we do this.
We are so happy you are all back and we are also seeing many new faces! We have lots planned for you in the
upcoming year. Don’t forget to sign up for Club 55 membership too.
