Featured AJAS Business Partner
|
| Ecosave
(Philadelphia, PA)
|
|
Over the course of an eight-hour work day, most people aren't aware of the carbon footprint their work spaces leave on the environment. Paying for these resources cost building owners and tenants millions of dollars every year. But there is a way to save money, operate more efficiently and significantly reduce green gases by partnering with Ecosave.
Ecosave does all of this without requiring any capital or debt by optimizing or replacing existing equipment within a building. As a result, owners get upgrades that are more than paid for out of energy savings, tenants get reductions in their energy bills and employees feel pride that their employees are working hard to save the planet.
Watch the Ecosave video.

Jewish War Veterans to Be Honored at Arlington
|
This fall, AJAS is planning a trip to Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath at the Tomb of The Unknown Solider by Jewish war veterans from AJAS communities.
The ceremony will be held Tuesday, November 13 at 3:15 pm. We will transport residents in buses directly up to the Tomb Area. AJAS will keep members informed as we make plans for the ceremony.
Four individuals will lay the wreath at Arlington but all are welcome to attend this prestigious event. The Tomb guard will announce that the wreath laying honors Jewish war veterans and is sponsored by the Association of Jewish Aging Services.
Generally these trips are done in one day. The AJAS office will coordinate transportation and other logistics in Washington.
Please let us know if you are considering bringing residents to DC for this event.
Watch this YouTube video of an event for more information. Our residents will come in from the sides and not have to negotiate steps.
