Beautiful decorations,
serene sentiments, and content residents are very much the part during the
holiday season, at The Armed Forces
Retirement Home, one of America's oldest veteran's retirement homes. I have known this wonderful campus since
1998. My introduction to AFRH, developed when I was asked to
collaborate an Intergenerational Partnership with Middle School Students of
Washington, D.C. and a nearby retirement center...and that is when I discovered
this gracious place. Presently, as I am
helping to facilitate a "Reading Buddy" partnership with the
residents of The Armed Forces Retirement
Home and The International Charter
School that resides on the campus of AFRH, I realize that some very worthwhile
and ideal initiatives will always have a place for a dedicated volunteer.
