THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 30, 2022 Page 7 Community opportunity: volunteers sought V olunteers are urgently needed to assist at senior meal sites in Malden, announced Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) this week. The new volunteers will help the Meal Site Manager in the daily operations of the lunch program, but they are also an important part of providing a warm and friendly atmosphere and a chance for older adults to socialize. “My life has been transformed since attending the dining site. I now have a purpose in life,” said one site visitor, explaining that the program enabled her to re-engage with others and fi nd a community to belong to. Volunteer duties may include setting tables, taking reservations for the meals, food preparation, serving the meal and cleanup. There are many older adults and people with disabilities who rely on this meal site for a nutritionally balanced meal, which for some is the only meal of the day. In addition, the opportunity to interact with volunteers and fellow visitors is invaluable. An hour or two of your time has an impact that is immeasurable. The team at MVES hopes that you will give your time to improve the quality of life of others in the community. Please contact MVES Volunteer Engagement Manager Nicole Sanders O’Toole at 781388-2375 or nsotoole@mves.org to learn how to get involved. Assistance is needed at the Markey Senior Center (Malden Council on Aging, 7 Washington St. in Malden) as well as at MVES | SEE PAGE 9 Put Your Success To Work.

Dear Editor, The ultimate assault on our mayor and our students occurred at the School Committee meeting on Monday, September 18th . While posturing for the takeover of Pope John, the Chair of the School Committee made a derogatory and shocking public comment on the Mayor, as he shared a personal story. The Mayor was attempting to connect his learning experiences with current situations, when Jeanne Cristiano interjected, “Well, that explains it!” Just what was she implying?
