Operation Seniors Supporting Soldiers A Success
Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) AmeriCorps members at the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging (CVAA) enlisted the help of both the general public and local seniors for Operation Seniors Supporting Soldiers. The project collected items to put in care packages for our deployed troops.
Nearly 50 seniors gathered at six different locations throughout the Champlain Valley to sew Cool Ties for deployed soldiers. These sewing sessions were held at the Vergennes Eagles Club, Charlotte Senior Center, Care Partners in St. Albans, School St. Apartments and Arrowhead Senior Center in Milton, Richmond Terraces, and South Hero Congregational Church. Several local seniors also opted to make Cool Ties at home. The goal was to make 200 Cool Ties and the six sewing sites exceeded this number, making just over 250.
