What is RSVP?
RSVP is a one day com­munity outreach program that will take place on Wednesday, May 18, 2011, 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 fourth year running.
