Ed Garbe and Gilchrist Center staff Paola Bichara |
Garbe volunteers with the Gilchrist Center’s English Conversation Club, which supports residents who speak English as a second language to understand language essentials, pronunciation and social and cultural norms.
Garbe, a retired industrial engineer from New York, is one of the hundreds of volunteers who support the Gilchrist Center to reach its goal of serving the immigrant and minority populations in the County.
Perhaps, it makes sense to follow this centenarian’s direction and choose volunteering as a secret weapon toward life longevity.
