National Day of Service Project for AARP 2936 and Fayette County Retired Educators Association
5/22/08 (12:55 p.m.) The second Thursday in May is the Day of
Service for both AARP and Georgia Retired Educators Association (GREA).
Fayette County Retired Educators Association (FCREA) is the local unit of GREA.
This year the local chapter of AARP combined forces with FCREA for a local
community service project as their Day of Service activity. Choosing to create
Mother’s Day gift baskets for mothers receiving services from the Department
of Family and Children Services (DFCS), members of both groups met at the home
of Carol Lunsford on April 30 to construct the gift baskets. The groups
created and delivered 50 gift baskets to DFCS.
Both groups are services organizations giving back to the community. Volunteer hours between the two groups total in the tens of thousands. Both groups present monetary gifts to local non-profit organizations. AARP Chapter 2936 meets year round, while FCREA meets seven times a year. Both groups meet at the Fayette Senior Services Center, 4 Center Drive, located on the grounds of the Fayette County Justice Center, Fayetteville.
The shirts worn by members in the photo proclaim AARP Day of Service 2008, while the ball caps worn by members proclaim NRTA (AARP’s Educator Community). Members shown are from left to right: Deborah Posey, Sandi McCallie, Dee Betsill, Alice South, and Carol Lunsford. Member Janet Windham took the photo.
