Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 139: Council on Aging Luncheon
Hi! Oliva here....
Earlier this afternoon, Sophia and I drove up the road to a Sherborn neighborhood called Ivy Lane. Many of our friends live in this area, but what we did not know was that a member of the Sherborn Council on Aging did as well! This member graciously hosted many Seniors to a wonderful luncheon with sandwiches, iced tea, and plenty of desserts! When Sophia and I arrived, we got right to work. We filled cups with drinks and set out the desserts. We also couldn't help but notice that the host had a love for frogs! There were frog statues everywhere, all sizes and colors.
Once the Seniors arrived, (after climbing up a huge hill and a long set of steps), they immediately started socializing! Everyone was also interested in hearing about my college life and Sophia's entry into Middle School. Sophia even ended up meeting the grandfather of one of her classmates. All of the people there were so appreciative of our help and expressed how great of a time they had visiting with us. Sophia and I had a lot of fun talking with them too! We hope to attend another luncheon soon!
