  THE SUPPORT GROUP HAS OPENINGS 

 

 

The Penn’s Village Support Group has openings for new members. While originally set up as a Caregiver Group, it has broadened its focus to other issues of aging such as health problems, loss of a loved on, and any issue where mutual support might be beneficial. So far, only women have chosen to participate in the support group, although men are welcome to join the group.


The Support Group is facilitated by two retired clinical social workers who are member volunteers and were long-time colleagues before retirement.


The group meets via Zoom on the first Monday of the month at 11 AM. New members would begin on DECEMBER 1, 2025.


If interested or would like more information, please contact Eileen Glass at eileen.glass@yahoo.com or Elisabeth Doolan at edoolan329@gmail.com

You will receive the zoom link once youve reached out to Eileen or Elisabeth.
