What Seniors are saying…
"I think this is a wonderful program and it is very generous of the volunteers to donate their time to help those of us who need it"
"As it was last year, this year was just a wonderful experience."
"I think it is wonderful, they all were so very kind and I appreciate it so much, thank you, thank you."

Providing a Helping Hand
The Third annual RSVP was held during Seniors Week on May 3rd. The RSVP group went armed with supplies to wash windows, trim bushes, clean bathrooms,
pull weeds, and even trim trees! The homeowners were very appreciative of the tasks that were done and the volunteers felt that their time spent was very worthwhile.
The program assists the homebound and elderly by doing tasks and chores that they are unable to do themselves. This year RSVP had 10 senior homes and 22 volunteers.
A very special thank you to all of our volunteers who selflessly donated their time and supplies, RSVP Chair, Linda Darrigo, Andrea Schenk, Anne Marie Sorcenelli,
Barbara Palmer, Bernie Alioto, Bettsy Tyler, Betty Danner, Candace Bradfield, Carla Richmond ,Cici Stebbins, Dennis Spencer, Dick Cornelsen, Don Skinner, Gloria
Behman, Inez Pandolfi, Jennifer Sullivan, Karen Kirwan, Lori Strusis, Marjorie Vickner, Susie Stelle and Tracy McAvery
We look forward to next years RSVP and helping even more homeowners!
What is RSVP?
RSVP is a one day community outreach program that takes place during "Adopt-A-Senior" Week. The program provides free assistance to qualified
seniors who cannot otherwise perform certain household tasks due to physical or financial constraints. This will be RSVP’s third year running.
