\nThe third Saturday of every month, I make telephone calls for
\nTele-Care. Tele-Care is a free-of-charge service which has been in
\nexistence of about 35 years and reaches out to elderly shut-ins or
\nothers who are limited in mobility. We call to make sure they are doing
\nok. We also call to express our concern and affection for our clients.
\nFor many Tele-Care clients, the daily phone call is the only regular
\nform of human contact. <\/p>\n

\nI have been a volunteer for about six years. I've often said that I
\ndon't forsee ending my volunteering until I either move out of the area
\nor pass away. I've not tried to recruit my friends into volunteering
\njust yet -- but should they be interested I'd be glad to tell them
\nmore. <\/p>\n
