Happy Lunar New Year! Thank you to Holly for sharing photos of your stunning cards on the LAI Facebook page!

Happy Sunday, Shreya!

I hope you are having a great weekend. I am just floored by this community's generosity this week. It has been record-breakingly snowy in the US this week, and it looks like many volunteers have been staying in and writing letters!

We received an outpouring of support for our verification projects. The Volunteer Coordination team is working on assigning homes to volunteers and working out logistics. We're hoping to get started later this week!

We also hit a big milestone this week. LAI welcomed its 20,000th volunteer! Please give a warm welcome to Josie P! I cannot believe that over 20,000 people have chosen to volunteer with LAI. We hope to continue to work together to fight senior loneliness for a long time.

In just one week, the LAI community has pledged to write to 91% of the seniors we serve. We are going to open up a new spreadsheet. If you would like to sign up to write more letters, please click the link below!

This Week on the Blog...

Happy Sunday!

This week on the blog... we are sharing jokes! Last week, during our monthly volunteer Zoom party, everybody brought their favorite joke that they like to include in their cards. We had a great laugh!

Our fantastic volunteer coordinator, Ellen, kept track of all of the terrific jokes, and we are sharing them in this blogpost for those who couldn't make it to the party!

We hope these inspire your letters and give you something extra comical to sprinkle into your writing!

Happy Writing!

Thank you Paula for sharing this fantastically funny card with us!

We Want To Hear From You!

You might have noticed that we've been making some updates to the website. We want to create a volunteer testimonials page to show people who are thinking about becoming volunteers what LAI means to the people who are a part of it. We would love to hear from you, and get your testimonials. Your quotes might be used on the website, newsletter, our social media and press appearances.

Have fun writing,

Shreya and Saffron
