Do you have 12 days, an easy, cool dozen days to make the community a better place? That is just one day per month for each month in the year and that is all it will take to make the day brighter for a blind neighbor or a special resident at an independent living facility in Unionville.
This individual is a big Yankee fan, loves classical music, swims at the Ymca and works to develop his upper body strength.
