Meet the newest member of the student team at Ashby Village: Volunteer Sonia Hochschild

When looking for something new and different to do, Sonia pondered volunteering someplace where she could meet people from other generations. There is an affinity she can’t quite explain – she says she simply “gets along well with seniors” ... and we're lucky she chose to volunteer with us!

Sports, baking, her famous grandparents, and what's next after high school – learn more about Sonia in her Volunteer Spotlight article:

TODAY! Ashby Village members and volunteers, come join your Northtowns neighbors for Happy Hour in person outdoors at The Factory Bar!

Meet-up starts at 4:00pm when the Factory Bar opens. Order a beverage inside – there are plenty of non-alcoholic options – tip generously, and then join everyone in the lovely garden/patio to socialize until it's too cold and dark to have fun 😉

No RSVPs, just turn up, dress warmly (there are heaters) and, if possible, bring a snack to share. See you there!
