January 16, 2012.   Susan McCammon, executive director of the Shepherd’s Center of Chesterfield was our guest speaker. The Shepherd's Center of Chesterfield is a non-profit, interfaith organization of senior adults who donate their time, talents, professional expertise, automobiles, gasoline, and other resources to help other senior adults remain independant in their own homes.

The oganization was established in August 2001 with the mission to enrich the lives of adults 50 and better by offering volunteer opportunities for community service and lifelong learning and to help them remain active and independent. Participants in the organization realize they are needed and valued and that they can continue to live lives that truly matter thoughout their later years. Last year, 56 volunteers drove 582 seniors to their doctor's appointments and grocery stores. In addition, there were 13 volunteers to help seniors with minor home repairs. The organization also offers 31 classes. For more information, please visit www.shepctrchesterfield.org.
