Women singing Christmas carols

Serenade Our Seniors: A Covid-Coping Demonstration

Perhaps the hardest part of 2020 has been the forced isolation that government officials have imposed on us. This isolation is even worse for old people in retirement homes

On Sunday December 13 a group called “Save Our Seniors,” alternately, “Serenade Our Seniors,” sang Christmas carols outside of the Absolut Care nursing home in East Aurora, NY. They wanted to alleviate some of the isolation felt by oldsters who have been confined away from their families in the nursing home for the past several months.

Although Christmas Caroling and Save Our Seniors are apolitical, many of the people in attendance engage in local conservative activism.
