From the President
Dear Avenidas Friends,
I hope you and yours are well despite the uncertainty and discomfort of the times. Back on March 13th, when we made the decision to close the doors at our three Avenidas centers in the midst of COVID-19, what was most on our mind was: how could we continue to serve the older adults who need us now more than ever?
Our staff immediately began creating a comprehensive work plan for supporting older adults as we all worked remotely. I am proud to report that we successfully made that transition happen.
We’ve devoted this issue to telling you the stories of how our various programs have been responding to the change in local needs and bringing a sense of security, belonging and even hope to our seniors.
We look forward to seeing everybody again soon!
Amy Andonian
President & CEO
