A Cornucopia of Events - November 2021
Mike Rodell and his sidekick Callie have been volunteers extraordinaire for many years, driving Staying Put members to doctor appointments, social events at Lapham and to run various errands around town. Thank you so much Mike for your dedicated service to the older adults in our community, providing safe and timely rides with perhaps an occasional paw extended or sloppy lick from Callie in hopes of a tasty doggie treat.
Volunteer Drivers Needed
As the number of ride requests are increasing, Staying Put is looking for more volunteer drivers. We make drives to Norwalk, Stamford, Darien, Wilton and New Canaan during the week between 9 and 5. You have the freedom to select drives that are convenient for you both in regards to the time of day and the destination. If you have some free time and are looking to give back to your community, please contact us at 203-966-7762 to find out more. We appreciate you considering this opportunity!
Thank you to the Service League of Boys (SLOBS)
A group of young men from the New Canaan HIgh School SLOBs helped our members get boxes of shred material to the Transfer Station for the free Shred Day on Saturday, October 23rd and then moved patio furniture into storage for another group of members the following day. We appreciate your time, energy, brawn and friendly smiles.

Sellecks Corner Chapel and Cemetery Tour
Staying Put members had a delightful outing on a beautiful Fall day to visit the Selleck's Corner Chapel located on Barnegat Road just off Oenoke Ridge. Nancy Geary, Executive Director of the N.C. Historical Society, gave a brief history of this small 1851 Methodist Church and cemetery. We then had a short classical guitar concert by Ms. Annalisa Ewald. This one-room chapel is heated by a small wood burning stove, has no lighting system other than the light that enters from the large windows and is equipped with a melodeon that was played by the daughter of Edwin Selleck during church services in the late 1800s.
