SENIOR SIDELIGHTS


Guardian Angels of Trumbull County, a volunteer program of the Trumbull County Probate Court, is looking for volunteers. Angel volunteers receive training to become advocates who reach out as friends to seniors who may need a friendly phone call, a visit in a nursing home, or a visit at home. Angels also are involved in planning special events for seniors such as health fairs and Make a Difference day projects. The next meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at Shepherd of the Valley, 4100 N. River Road, Warren. For information contact 330-675-2521 or visit www.trumbullprobate.org.
