Transitioning to Vivalon
Your Age-Friendly Intergenerational Center underwent a terrific change. The Center became so much bigger and better than we ever anticipated. With over 600 subscribers and the immediate need to expand programming and resume live classes, it seemed timely to “merge” with an already well-established, larger organization that shares like values and goals.
On November 7, Vivalon, formerly Whistlestop, "adopted" the Age-Friendly Intergenerational Center. The Age-Friendly Intergenerational Center opened in the Spring of 2018 with a small repertoire of programs, with no expectations that it would be a huge success. The outcome far exceeded those expectations. COVID didn’t impede our growth and we were successful in keeping people connected, albeit over Zoom, with friends and relatives throughout the county, state and far beyond, all the while remaining sustainable, thanks to generous donors and grant funding. The majority of our classes are now operating under Vivalon. For a seamless transition, the following classes maintained their same schedules, only with different Zoom login information that you will be provided:
- Watercolors with Debra Maddox
- Acrylics with Debra Maddox
- Jane Rivera's Chair Yoga with Weights
- Mahjongg with Leslie Friedman
Due to funding constraints, Vivalon was unable to take on the remaining classes. (Those will be sponsored by Age-Friendly Solutions.) Also, Vivalon has many ongoing programs that might be of interest, so please do check their website: https://vivalon.org/calendar/
