Neighbors Helping Neighbors!
Now more than ever community support is so important and impactful! The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) others the support someone needs to remain living at home either with grocery shopping needs 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.

DECEMBER VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH IS LOUISE LYNCH
Louise is a phenomenal volunteer here at the center. During COVID she went above and
beyond to help with our community events. You could often find her directing traffic for
meal distribution or food box pick-ups. She helped with our outdoor events whether it
was a concert or luncheon. Louise also handed lunches out for our Grab and Go lunch
program she was committed to this program and it went on for a year and half. Louise
also has also been an ambassador for the center for many years. Louise is very welcoming
and always greets everyone with a kind smile.
Louise enjoys spending time with her family and loves to scrap book during all of her free
time. When Louise isn’t volunteering here at the center you can find her volunteering her
time at The Garde Arts Center as an usher.
Louise is a great volunteer who is very committed to the center and has given countless
hours/years to us, we appreciate her immensely !!!
Week of Giving
Dec. 6-10th
The Lymes’ Senior center is again collecting unwrapped toys for the Toys for Tots Program. Due to Covid. Toys for Tots did not collect toys last year. This made their organization extremely low on gifts for our local boys and girls in need. On December 14th, representatives from Toys for Tots will be here to pick up whatever we have collected. We hope to inspire our members to donate an unwrapped toy
during our week of giving (December 6- 10) between the hours of 9am-3pm. Thank you for all of you that have already dropped off a gift and thank you to all those that are planning to!
