Board of Director Opening
On behalf of Twin Valley Seniors, as Director, I am asking you to please consider joining the Board of Directors (BOD). The BOD is a very important position to help support and keep the Senior Center strong to meet the needs of older and younger residents in your town. There is no special requirement to be on the board except caring and supporting the Center plus, help guide the Director to fulfill the Center’s mission. The Board meets the third Wednesday of each month from 3:30 to 5:00pm. Ideas and input for supporting and volunteering with fundraising events. Time is pretty minimal but the rewards are huge. We ask that residents in the Calais, Woodbury, East Montpelier, Adamant and Cabot areas have a voice for residents about the operation of your local Senior Center. If you have questions about the board position I welcome you to contact me at 223- 3322 or email twinvalleyseniors@myfairpoint.net. Volunteers Needed
We are once again in search of Volunteer backups for our Meals on Wheels program. This need is to help with the filling of trays, sealing and packing the bags for the drivers. The hours consist of 7:30 until 9:30am 3 days a week. You can work as many days as you can or all 3 days. Back up drivers and kitchen help is always needed. We have other areas of the senior center that could use volunteers as well. Stop by and speak with us anytime. We need a volunteer or volunteers to help with the mopping and cleaning of the floors at the center. This would require 2-3 hours weekly and can be done evening, Tuesdays, Thursdays or weekends. If interested please contact Rita at 223-3322 or email twinvalleyseniors@myfairpoint.net. 
Hard to believe that another year brings the time for Twin Valley to think about assembling Blizzard Bags. Blizzard Bags are bags filled non-perishable, nutritional food that can be stored safely.
At TVSC we assemble these bags and the Meals on Wheels volunteer drivers deliver to our homebound MOW’s clients. We explain to them that its contents can be used in case of power loss or weather related days that the drivers cannot reach them. The Veterans would call them MRI’s. The last few years Mrs. Jeanne Johnson of Cabot has had a heart of gold by purchasing prepackaged food items that come for regular and diabetic diet requirements plus the delivery bags for the items. This is such a super big help to the Center as we would otherwise have to shop for the items which is difficult to do with limited staff and volunteers. This process is no way an inexpensive project but Jeanne does not think twice about supporting the process. Not enough words to let her know how much this project she under takes yearly is so, so appreciated by all of us at the center.. 24 Short Form of Yang Style Tai Chi Classes
