Chad Kleitsch is organizing an art exhibition inspired by the beautiful Rhinecliff train station. Please contact Chad at chadkleitsch@gmail.com to submit a piece. The show will be exhibited at the Morton Memorial Library in Rhinecliff sometime in 2023.Volunteer callers wanted
The Dutchess County Office for the Aging (OFA) is reaching out to older adults who are isolated and would like some type of social connection, somebody to talk to for 20-30 minutes a week. Could you be that somebody? OFA’s Friendly Calls program is looking for volunteer callers to reach out to our older adults. It’s a simple program at its core: neighbors talking to neighbors in a short, structured conversation. OFA screens both the volunteer callers as well as the people being called. You’d be talking to somebody who lives alone, is isolated, and has expressed an interest in staying socially connected. Volunteers would start out calling from OFA headquarters in Poughkeepsie, but we envision the program becoming something a volunteer can do from home if that’s what they prefer. Adult volunteers of all ages are welcome. If you’re interested in taking part as a volunteer caller, email bjones@dutchessny.gov or call 845-486-2555.Submissions for March "Monologue" Madness
