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 group will meet at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 12 at Shepherd of the Valley, 4100 N.
