By Shelly Ballard, past BLS President 

Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas, Inc. is a funded government agency. However, like everyone else they have experienced budget cuts. The government funds they receive are already allocated. What they need often are discretionary funds, in other words, CASH. 

This is where BLS can help. BLS is affiliated with the Area Agency on Aging but does not operate under its restrictions. BLS is an all volunteer organization, we can spend our time doing what we do best - making lives better for seniors. We can do this by the actions we all take every day. We can also do this by donating funds to organizations like the Area Agency on Aging and many others in our area that help seniors. 

Much thanks goes to the Area Agency on Aging for continuing to support BLS by providing administrative services, accounting services and much, much more that cannot be valued with a dollar. 

Thanks to our members for giving generously of themselves to BLS/AAA and to our seniors everyday. To say I am proud to be a part of this organization would be a massive understatement.
