| Why bother giving essentially to an essential agency? Good question !! NCAAA programs and counselors help keep people in their homes and independent in their communities for as long as possible: We all have a preference about how we’d like to spend our later years. NCAAA helps support that; We advocate for the rights of older adults and the issues they face through outreach and education: We know there are a lot of people out there who don’t know where to turn. We help with that navigation; We’ve been keeping people at home for over 40 years and provided services to thousands of older adults in North Central CT: The Older Americans Act created AAAs to ensure that older adults had a say in the programs and services they need most; We have a number volunteer opportunities and we’re always looking for passionate people who’d like to get involved: Our volunteers are our backbone and our force multiplier for community engagement, but while volunteers do not get paid, there are a lot of expenses to support volunteers. ****************************************************************************** Essential Giving for an Essential Agency LET YOUR 2021 DONATION MAKE HISTORY !! 1956 – INSURANCE CITY OPEN – ARNOLD PALMER’S FIRST US PGA TOUR WIN 1967 – INSURANCE CITY OPEN RENAMED GREATER HARTFORD OPEN – Charlie Sifford Wins ! 1973 – SAMMY DAVIS JR.
