Are Villages Just a Good Idea... |
|
|
|
As the year 2021 dawns, the Board of ChaiVillageLA is embarking on a modest strategic planning process focused on our objectives for 2021-2022...But just for one moment, we'd like to take a quick look with you at a really big question: |
|
Are Villages like ours simply a wonderful idea for those, like us, lucky enough to be part of one, or will they become absolutely vital to many Americans in the coming years?
