Greetings!
It's the event we've all been waiting for: the official launch of At Home on the Sound. I hope to see you as we celebrate on May 16th (see below for details).
It has taken more than two years of planning, studying and hard work to reach this milestone. But the doors to At Home on the Sound's Resource Center are now open and we have activities planned that will bring us together throughout the summer. We've also entered into agreements with many service providers and have volunteers ready to help those who need transportation, with chores around the house and technology.
More than 100 of your friends and neighbors have pitched in to help us reach this day. Please join us to see the fruit of all their work.
With excitement,
Lynn Reichgott, President |

We've planned a great celebration for our official launch, which will be held at Mamaroneck United Methodist Church, 546 Boston Post Road, just across the parking lot from the building housing our Resource Center.
We'll have light refreshments at 3 and a program beginning at 3:30 p.m. Please join us and learn about what At Home on the Sound has planned.
Note: Those who join At Home on the Sound at the launch will receive special inaugural discounted rates. |
