This week Safiya Blair, our contact at Alaris Health Rochelle Park in New Jersey sent in a photo of one of her residents! Here's her message to the LAI community:

"These are letters from Japan!!!! He really was excited to receive them! I hope the person who sent them sees the excitement and joy behind their letters."

Happy Sunday, Shreya!

I hope you are having a lovely weekend! We've been hard at work on some exciting summer programming - I cannot wait to tell you all more about it soon. 

This week we have got a fantastic blog post! We're also testing out a new way for you to RSVP to our zoom party through your email. Please give it a try, we're excited to see if it works.

We are halfway through our letter-writing cycle, and have pledged to write to half of our seniors!

This week, let's write to each and every one. To reach our goal of writing to the 5,000 seniors who still need a letter, consider writing just one extra letter this week. That letter will make such a difference to the person who receives it!

These lovely cards were sent by volunteer Audrey! Check out our LAI Facebook group for more inspiration!

Blog Post

This week on the blog, one of our fantastic student volunteers, Dylan, is sharing his tips and tricks to writing a fantastic letter.

Are you a new volunteer looking for guidance as to how to get started? This is a great read!

Are you a seasoned volunteer looking for some new ideas to spice up your letter writing routine? This is also a fantastic read for you!

I do hope you'll check it out and be inspired! Thank you Dylan for sharing these tips!

These beautiful letters and cards were sent by volunteer Sue to some of the seniors we serve in Tennessee and South Carolina this week!

New Sign Up System!

We have gotten an incredible amount of feedback with regard to the new sign-up system. Our wonderful developer and tech lead Satish has been hard at work integrating it into the new system! Check out the new world map to find where to write by location.

We need a little more time to make sure everything is up to snuff, so we won't be launching the new site just yet. Rest assured, we hope to phase out the spreadsheet by the end of the month

On that note, thank you for reading and...

Have fun writing!
