22 Annual Virtual Travers Wine Tasting Fundraiser
Online at www.lifepathny.com | 6 p.m.
Thousands of our most vulnerable neighbors have found themselves alone, with little to eat, and almost no way to socialize. We need your help to ensure that the vital work of LifePath can continue – meals can be delivered and programs to provide socialization are conducted. This year we’re going virtual! Please join us in the comfort of your own home, as we raise a glass for seniors to celebrate and support LifePath’s Annual Travers Wine Tasting. Your support will make a big difference in the lives of the older adults in the Capital District.
