The Living Well Network Would Like Your Help!

The Living Well Network is looking for Cambridge residents who would like to take an active role in shaping our services by serving on our Advisory Council. Council members will help the LWN by hosting volunteer recruitment events, and by helping us create, promote and organize activities and services. Our goal is to bring residents together to share their knowledge, skills and energy to help make this a safe and comfortable place in which to age.

The LWN Advisory Council meets one evening a month to discuss current projects and exchange ideas for new activities.

If interested, please contact Nathaniel Meyer at 617-349-6287, x16 or nmeyer@agassiz.org
