What our members are saying about Ashby Village and why they joined:
- Gloria Bayne: "I like the concept of a support system that provides services which make it comfortable and convenient for seniors to stay at home."
- Charlotte Herzfeld: "The needs that Ashby Village fulfills are presently not available in the community. I joined because I think the Village concept is important to my community."
- Darryl Katz: "We believe in supporting the Village Concept and look forward to meeting fellow members."

We Need Volunteers - Can you Help?
Ashby Village needs volunteers to provide services to members - everything from cooking an occasional meal to driving members to doctor's appointments to helping do yard work. Do you have 3-4 hours a week to donate to your community? We also need clerical help in the Ashby Village office. If you'd like to help with any type of volunteering, please send an email to info@ashbyvillage.org. Thank you! |

AV Committees Are Hard at Work before Launch
Ashby Village has developed a strong committee structure to support our members:
- Membership Committee: welcomes new members, organizes house parties, and provides regular check-in with members.
- Social Events/Community Development Committee: arranges all social, cultural and educational events like our speaker's series.
- Volunteer Committee: Works to recruit and train new volunteers to provide services to members.
- Program Services Committee: Recruits new providers, manages and ensures good provider service, develops and manages all services to members
If you would like to join a committee, please send an email to info@ashbyvillage.org or call the AV office at 510/204-9200. |
