Dear , this is your special invitation to immigrant seniors 2016 social activities calendar of events assessment conference on 10/31/15 at 2pm.

We at TGHS are inviting you to come to attend the first of series of face to face conversation with African immigrant seniors in the Delaware valley to identify social services of their choices that bring happiness in their lives living in the United States. We at TGHS do not believe in outdated organizational culture that tend to focus on assumption of needs of seniors, instead we focus on providing social services of specific needs and wants as expressed by the seniors themselves. To facilitate the gathering of the needs of seniors in the Philadelphia area, we will begin hosting a live face to face group discussion among seniors on the last Saturday of every month beginning Saturday October 31, 2015 at 2pm at the Refuge Baptist Church to gather the 2016 year calendar of activities and services that truly make them happy living in the United States. The greatest danger hanging over our planned activities is the condition of the meeting place and the lack of transportation to pick up the seniors from their various houses to the meeting place. The place we currently meet has no heat and leaks when it rains.Please support our event by Clicking here .The place was given to us to use temporarily by a church who thinks that TGHS target support services to African immigrant seniors is a need that exist which needs to be filled. The meeting will take place at 6712-20 Upland Street, Philadelphia, PA 19142. At the end of each meeting/conference, there will be relief distribution to seniors and people in need in the community. Base on previous live assessment with seniors, some of the social events for seniors to be discussed include the following.
