The Old Lyme Visiting Nurse Association, Inc. will present either a wheelchair or transport chair to a number of civic and nonprofit organizations  in the Town of Old Lyme over the next few weeks.

When Superstorm Sandy caused the cancellation of the Association’s annual Health and Wellness Day fair last November, the group decided to explore another project that would have a health related beneficial effect in the community.  At the suggestion of a board member, a survey was conducted about the availability of wheeled transportation for members of the public in need of such assistance.

At the Town of Old Lyme Board of Selectmen meeting on Monday, May 20, at 4 p.m., chairs will be presented to the Town of Old Lyme, as well as to Christ the King Church, the Florence Griswold Museum, Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and the Lyme Art Association.

Presentations to additional recipients, including the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, the Old Lyme Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library, and Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church will be made on other dates.
