BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETING
Thursday, January 21, 2021 @ 7:00 PM
Our local Grateful Undead group is setting up a phone buddy system to help older residents who are alone at home and would like someone to check in regularly to give them someone to talk to, someone who can know they are safe, and if not, to get them assistance. This buddy system is entirely voluntary, and anyone may participate to make calls, and is voluntary for older residents who would like to receive calls.
If you know of someone who might be interested, have them call our Porter contact person, Kathy Chaiklin , at 625-8030.
