Missing Your Friends from the Senior Center?
Have you thought about giving a call to a familiar face, but don’t have their number? Have you considered asking a card group buddy to play a round of Euchre online? Or how about practicing an ukulele duet over the phone or a video chat?   If you’re looking for suggestions or just looking for a friend’s phone number give us a call and we can try and help with the connection. We will not give out contact information without first asking for a person’s permission.
