Goodman’s older adult program is a vital lifeline for many senior community members in Madison. Programming is run by Gayle Laszewski and Abby Sibilski. Their work is deeply entwined, yet both have a distinct role within this vibrant program.
As the Asst. Director of Older Adults, Gayle oversees the daily operations of the program, ensuring it has high quality and diverse activities that meet the needs and interests of our older adult participants. A large portion of her work involves creating and maintaining community partnerships so we can provide a wide range of programs and services.
Abby, the Older Adult Program Coordinator, manages the Congregate Meal Site, which is the donation-based lunch for seniors that runs Monday through Friday. Additionally, she coordinates many of the other weekly programs offerings and plans extra social events for our seniors. They see the most important part of their jobs as helping to create safe and enjoyable social opportunities for the older adults in our community.
We asked both Gayle and Abby about their jobs, community and work with volunteers. Here’s what they had to say!
