ElderNet of Lower Merion and Narberth (“ElderNet”) honored five volunteers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty as part of its recent Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon held at Beaumont. The volunteers were recognized for outstanding service in support of older and disabled adults in the community.
