From the Lamorinda Spirit Drivers Hadi: “I joined the Lamorinda Spirit Van about two years ago, and every Thursday morning I take a group of older adults gro- cery shopping. I have come to realize how much I look forward to

seeing my six ladies each week, and I can’t help but notice how happy the ladies are when I’m driving them. It’s great to be a part of their lives. I feel I’m providing a very important and necessary service to our community; and who knows, maybe someday I will need this wonderful service myself.” Jeanne: “I am one of the newest Spirit Van drivers, though I have chosen to volunteer with seniors many times in my life. I have been thrilled to meet the people who regularly ride the van—they are mostly in their 80’s and 90s, many late 90’s, who are very kind and appreciative. For my first shift, my kids (aged 9, 6 and 3) made holiday cards for me to hand out. A couple shifts later, there was a handwritten note in my folder from one of the ladies to my son. She thanked him for the

drawing and said she had it hanging on her refrigerator. Satisfying community interaction all around!” Mike: “One of our passengers was scheduled for a four o’clock pick up at BART. I arrived about 15 minutes early and she was already there. I asked how long she had been waiting, and she replied she had been there since 3:15. She then explained that she didn’t ever want to keep a Spirit driver waiting for her. That is one dedicated rider!” To get more information about becoming a passenger or a volunteer driver for the Lamorinda Spirit Van Program, please call 925-283-3534.
