Neighborhood for a Lifetime
Lisa Miley and Dot Carroll, together with outgoing President Beverly Frick, are looking into making Old Town a “Neighborhood for a Lifetime,” by assessing the needs of Old Town’s seniors to see what they might need help with, and matching willing and able residents with the seniors to help with everyday things such as lifting heavy objects, yardwork, etc. Lisa and Dot will work with Susan to get something in the upcoming newsletter to gauge interest.
