    20140507_VVCC-Transit-Award_2014-Tucson1VVCC was recognized for its efforts in providing transportation to older adults and adults with disabilities who require specialized transportation. VVCC was commended for building partnerships with transportation providers that can accommodate wheel chairs and motorized carts as well as collaborating with CAT Paratransit and the upcoming Ride & Assist program. VVCC’s funding partners include ADOT and Northern Arizona Council of Governments, who provide voucher funds for VVCC’s specialized transportation and One-Call Center operations.

    “The award underscores the amazing work our volunteers and transportation partners are doing for older adults who can no longer drive,” said VVCC Executive Director Kent Ellsworth.

    VVCC has over 1,900 older adults enrolled to receive services. Over 325 volunteers provide transportation to medical and other appointments, grocery shopping, home visits and hospital to home services. Because our older adult population is growing, so is the need for more volunteers. Drivers and One-Call Center volunteers are especially needed. You choose when and how often.

    For information on volunteering please contact Operations & Mobility Manager Natalia Molina at (928) 204-1238 or email nataliamolina@vvcaregivers.org. Please visit our website at: www.vvcaregivers.org.

    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
