    Description

    Adopt A Neighborhood Granny or two! - Change a Life

    Can you adopt a granny and change a life? If you have just two hours per week you can be part of this great multi-generational effort that will put you in touch with a wonderful, legally blind local granny or grampy who needs a little extra help to remain living independently in their home. What would you do? ... How about sorting through and organizing photos, doing a little shopping together, taking them to a local medical appointment, or just reading a book, sorting mail, writing out cards or letters and chatting? If this sounds like something interesting to you, call today. You can set your own schedule and offer as much or as little time as your schedule permits but the rewards will be fabulous!
