Hotline Enters 2nd Week
Yancey Senior Citizens
made good use of their
telephone hotline during the
first week of operation as 39
calls of need were answered
by the eleven hotline citizen
volunteers. Needs varied
greatly with the most popular
requests being made for
transportation and wood for
heating and cooking.
As the hotline enters its
second week of operation, no
need has yet gone unanswer
ed beyond its deadline when
needed. This has been due tp
the tremendous response
received so far from citizen.
volunteers and service agen- *
cies in meeting these calls of
need and to the creative
talents and energies of the
hotline volunteers. Remem
ber! Continued success de
pends on the support from all
Yancey citizens.
As a continued reminder,
the SCORE Senior Citizen
telephone hotline does not
promise to meet all the needs
of Yancey Senior Citizens. It
is not in the woodcutting
business; it does not operate a
bus transportation system for
the County.
The telephone hotline
program, through the dedica
tion of its hotline volunteers
does offer Yancey Senior
Citizens, aged 60 and over,
one phone number (682-6011)
which senior citizens can call
to share any problem, need or
concern. These hotline volun
teers, all having pledged to
keep confidential any infor
mation shared, continually
