* A multi-year strategic plan to move the organization forward
* A new Half-Price Taxi Voucher Program for anytime on-demand transportation at a reasonable price
* Dementia Friend Champion Training Program completed by Blum and McGuire. The program is designed to make the community more age friendly. Upcoming programs will train Darien residents and others to become Dementia Friends.
