To the Editor:

The Age-Friendly Community Initiative (AFCI) will host a booth at Harvest Fest on the Bethel Common, Saturday, September 21`from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. We welcome community members to stop by and learn more about our transportation program. We are hoping to recruit both volunteer drivers and individuals needing rides.

The AFCI Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) Volunteer Driver Program (VDP) provides free rides to medical and non-medical appointments to seniors 60 and over living in the AFCI Board-approved communities (i.e., Albany Township; Bethel; Gilead; Greenwood; Hanover; Mason Township; Newry; Woodstock). Rides are for medical (including dental) and non-medical trips. While requests for medically-related rides are given the highest priority, eligible clients may also request rides for errands, and religious and social events (e.g., church, exercise, educational, and entertainment programs).

For more information call (207)824-4444 and leave a message.
