Letter to the Editor: Senior Citizens can't get around for lack of volunteer drivers

To the Editor:

As a Shoreline senior, I have been riding the Hyde Shuttle for three years. Without the Hyde Shuttle, my life would be quite different. Unfortunately, there are not enough volunteer drivers to keep the Hyde Shuttle operating every day. The program has had to cancel routes in the past month.

Since many seniors can no longer get around easily on their own, they rely on the Hyde Shuttle. There is an urgent need for more volunteers to sustain this important community service. 

Perhaps a retired man or lady or someone who has lost their job, would like to be of service to needy seniors.

For information about volunteering please contact Melissa at (206) 748-7588 or by email.
