BIRTHDAYS AND CLUB ANNIVERSARIES
We had one birthday this week, Jerry Carvey on May 29th, happy birthday!
We also had one club anniversary today: Linda Eastman, 12 years on 5/27.
Renee Cortright spoke to the club how the OPC is adapting to the pandemic. The doors have been closed for over two months, but they are still delivering services to our senior community (virtually, and remotely). Since March 6th, they have prepared and delivered 21,500 nutritionally balanced meals. They have also assisted in over 4,000 critical rides (dialysis, necessary medical appointments, and grocery shopping). Thanks very much for speaking to us today Renee, great to hear the OPC is still fully operational.
