Area seniors who’d like to know more about Wellesley Neighbors (WN) are invited to a warm winter gathering at a member’s home on February 6 at 3 p.m. WN is a social, educational and support organization for couples and singles 55 and above in Dover, Natick, Needham, Wellesley and Weston.
For directions to the February 6 venue, call WN Executive Director Joyce Wadlington at (781-283-0417, x1).
Wellesley Neighbors was launched six years ago by local residents who were inspired by Beacon Hill Village in Boston. It is now part of a growing “village movement,” with 230-odd villages nationwide and many more in development.
WN members find new friends and enjoy activities that create a virtual neighborhood of people they can rely on. They can use a member-vetted list of service providers, from plumbers to lawyers to home-health aides. WN volunteers offer rides and other small services to older members who can remain in their own homes with a bit of help. WN dues are less than most villages and may be discounted for people who qualify. To learn more, call Joyce at (781-283-0417).
