Meet Linda! Eras Client Testimonial This video is an interview with Linda, an Eras Senior Network client.

Eras Senior Network hosted our annual pen pal parties in the School District of Menomonee Falls on May 2nd and May 3rd.

We hosted six parties (one per classroom) across two days for approximately 120 Eras volunteers and 153 students.

During the parties, volunteers and students enjoyed some one-on-one time together, engaging in a variety of activities, games and a craft. Each pair had their photo taken together and took home a magnetic photo frame to display their photo from the party.
