Program:
Mike Griffin introduced Lisa Challender from the Concord Regional VNA. Lisa is responsible for getting new volunteers, providing education for new volunteers and to support the existing volunteers.
She current works with 100 volunteers that serve 40 surrounding towns.
Lisa introduced Bill Ames, who is a resident of Bow. The rebirth of a program at the VNA this year is to serve the Veterans.
Bill told us the story of the Korean War Vet that he has been able to provide services to, but more importantly to help the full time provider the ability to do the grocery shopping for the week, to get out of the house for a couple of hours and interact with others.
Bill mentioned that there are 23 Million Veterans in the US, 105 390 in NH. 10% of the NH population. There are currently 23 in the Concord VNA program. Bill has become a volunteer focused on serving the Veterans at the VNA. In May they are starting a training session for volunteers to serve the Veterans better.
 
Bryant Stevener closed the meeting with a toast to Rotary at 8:25.
