Temporarily gone are the carefree days when we could meet our friends at the local coffee shop. In the absence of our normal ways of connecting with others, a friendly phone call can fill the gap and brighten our days. “Phone a Friend” is a new initiative by Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. and callers will be glad to call you as many days of the week as you like. Share your stories of your family history, travel adventures, or current weather and local resources. You will have someone to talk to as well as making a new friend. Call 204-571-2052 to sign up.
