| ITNNorthCentralConnecticut Information Session |
Independent Transportation Network/ITNNorthCentralConnecticut that provides dignified transportation for seniors announces Information Sessions for Seniors, their families and adults with visual impairments.
East Windsor CT People with questions on how the Independent Transportation Network works can get answers at an information session to be held from 7-8 PM on March 16, 2010 at the parish hall of St. John's Episcopal Church, 94 Main Street, East Windsor CT. Members of the Board of Directors will be available to meet in a group or one on one as required. People that want to come are asked to call the office at 860-758-7833.
Bringing the national program to North Central Connecticut was the work of a dedicated Board of Directors who spent months building support in the ten communities the program now serves, including Bloomfield, East Granby, East Windsor, Enfield, Granby, Somers, South Windsor, Suffield, Windsor and Windsor Locks.
The primary goal of ITNNorthCentralConnecticut is to enable seniors and visually impaired persons who no longer drive to maintain their freedom, independence and dignity. Those who wish to utilize the service will pay an annual membership fee of $40. Ride charges during the day are a $4 pickup fee and $1 per mile. In return, they will enjoy peace of mind knowing that a clean, private car and safe, experienced driver are available to them around the clock, 365 days a year, and that they do not have to ask for favors, plan around the schedules of others, use public tax dollars, travel in groups, or make their way to a pick-up point to reach their destination.
Applications for Membership or to become a Volunteer Driver are now available on the website www.itnnorthcentralct.org. For additional information, call Margaret Smith Hale at 860-758-7833 or email info@itnnorthcentralct.org.
