Newly retired to Marshall County? The
Marshall County Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP) would like to invite you to a
coffee November 8 at 10 a. m. at the RSVP
facility in Guntersville.
RSVP is providing an opportunity for
newcomers in the area to meet each other and
to connect with other newcomers who have
like interests.
“Maybe you will meet someone who likes book
clubs or fishing or dining-out supper groups
and this will be the beginning of a
friendship of a shared interest with someone
in your new county”, said RSVP volunteer
Louise Cowart who has been in Marshall
County about a year.
“When a retired person moves into a new
community, it is like starting all over
meeting people and finding people who will
become your new friends. For couples and
single men and women this is not always easy
and RSVP is having a coffee to allow
newcomers to meet and become acquainted.”
If there is enough interest, the newcomers
might want to form a Marshall County
Newcomers Club which would provide an
ongoing “connection”.
Please let RSVP know that you will be able
to attend. Call RSVP, 571-7734, or email
mcrsvp@mcrsvp.org by November 2.
