Kit Clark Senior Services is co-sponsoring a series of twelve programs on Boston Neighborhood Network TV with Leslie Ahern (Family Care Advisor from the Caregiver Program based at Ethos) and  her husband Paul Antokolsky.  
Our first segment with Margo and Leo was aired on October 14th and went really well. Folks called in during the program with questions on the particular topic. 

You can help to get the word out for the upcoming series to your neighbors, members of your church and social organizations.

 

As you know, we have a great number of homebound seniors who are unaware of the services that are available to them; we are trying a number of venues to reach them and we feel that these series of programs will be especially helpful and of benefit to them. 

 

Thanks to our staff who has agreed to participate in the programs.
