Cards and letters have impact!
Someone does read your cards and letters! Marie Holliday got a return note from one of her card recipients from Millcroft that when permitted, he would like to visit one of our meetings.Let’s keep up the goal of 5 cards or notes per member per week to continue spreading positive messages to our community. Mike Luck needs 200 more to deliver to residents at Main Towers.
And congrats to Donna Friswell’s Florida club for copying our project and getting more than 400 cards and notes to their nursing homes, too.

Grant project for 2020-2021
The grant committee, chaired by Jerry Holt, is writing a proposal to support of the newly established Newark PAL program. In 2021 they will be getting a trailer that will travel to various playgrounds and sites around Newark, equipped with sports equipment, computers, small refrigerator, books, and giveaways for local children. Our part of the project will be to fund the equipment and giveaways.
