Attention Boomers as young as 60 who reside within the Corry

- Want to stay in your own home for as long as
you can?
- Need some help with a project now and then?
- Have trouble rearranging furniture, finding
last minute transportation to an appointment, or with flipping your
mattress?
- Is your computer stressing you out?
- Does your smartphone make you feel stupid?
- Looking to hire a contractor, a lawn care
service, an electrician, or a service provider of any sort who has
been vetted and may offer you a discount?
Becoming
a member of Village Friends may be the perfect answer for you --
or for someone you know.
Check
out the Village Friends, Inc. Facebook page or visit their website at www.villagefriendsinc.org for more details. If you think that you want to
consider becoming a member or a volunteer, you can call the Program Director,
Jackie Haines at (814) 964-2767 or download an application from the website and
mail it to 45 East Washington Street, Corry, PA 16407.
I
recently joined as a member but also hope to do a bit of volunteering as
well once I figure out where I might be able to help. I am thinking that we are
most fortunate to have a Village
Friends here that is a part
of an important nationwide movement to help older citizens live independently
and to participate in social, cultural and educational activities. A lot is going on -- many opportunities to just plain have fun. There are, for example several "Day Tripping" outings planned to
visit and explore a variety of interesting places nearby and also the chance to
participate in the "Coffee Club" that meets once a month to plan
events and outings.
A
village can do more than raise a child - although that is certainly important.
A village of friends can make everyone's life better - no matter what age they
may happen to be. You may want to think about volunteering, joining or
perhaps -- donating to this organization.
