Northwest Neighbors Connecting-1year Anniversary Birthday Bash!

A little over a year ago, CHAI: Comprehensive Housing Assistance Inc.,


an agency of The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore,


officially launched a program, based upon the village concept that would


enable seniors to age with dignity in their own homes and their


communities. A grassroots membership organization, Northwest Neighbors


Connecting (NNC) provides a host of services to members, from grocery


shopping to running errands, social programs to educational training –


and even tech support.
     Today, NNC boasts 150 dues-paying members – and


that number is growing weekly. To celebrate the program’s successes, NNC


will host a birthday bash at the Pikesville Senior Center, Sunday,


March 23, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. The public is invited to an afternoon of


activities, including dancing, music, a mini-Zumba class, a Kosher


birthday cake, donated by Sion’s Bakery, and a volunteer recognition


ceremony. In addition, Bea Bea Payne, an about-to-be 105-year-old woman,


who still drives and exercises daily, will share tips on aging well.


Those attending the event also can learn more about NNC – how to become a

member and how to volunteer. To learn more about the NNC birthday
bash, email chaivolunteer@chaibaltimore.org or call 410-662-6620
