Together, people can accomplish so much more than we can alone. This truism was again evident October 10 when 200 friends and supporters attended the Key Community Partners Award Luncheon. They came together to celebrate and support the Senior Community Services mission. “We express our heartfelt gratitude for this great community of friends. They recognize the duty we have to support the needs of the seniors in our lives,” says CEO Deb Taylor.

• Kathy Stein has been a dedicated volunteer for 16 years, donating nearly 800 hours of her time and talents.
