an informational table at four lunch sites in February. If
you are interested in becoming part of this committee,
or would like to attend a diversity workshop, please call

Many thanks to our committee
participants Jeannie
Aldridge,
Elizabeth
DeFrancesco, Doris Evans, Alvira Green, Art Kraus,
Beverly Peterson, Phyllis Raphael, Stuart Schulhof,
and Kazem Soufi for their continued support of this
important issue.
Many thanks to the following individuals who have
assisted residents with light snow shoveling and
trash can removal throughout the winter. Your help
is so appreciated!!
Community Volunteers Needed!
Individuals, families, and groups are needed to
conduct our annual spring yard cleanups. This
service is offered to older adults in our five-city area.
You can choose your own date and time to
volunteer during the month of April or May. It’s a
great way to give service and have fun at the same
time!
We also recognize the work of our monthly
newsletter deliverers. Neither rain, nor snow, nor
sleet will keep these volunteers from completing
their thirty-five routes!
For information about how you can help, please call
216-291-3902, ext. 213.
