AGAR’s Programs for Seniors

Picture
AGAR also coordinated a virtual song class for CVACL seniors.
​AMHERST GLEBE ARTS RESPONSE, INC (AGAR) has delivered twice each month an average of 650 pages of “Poems on Trays with Meals on Wheels” to seniors receiving delivered meals through Central Virginia Alliance for Community Living, Fairmont Crossing Amherst and Blue Ledge Meals on Wheels. Four living poets, Virginia poets Ron Smith, LuAnn Keener-Mikenas and Grace Hoyt (Grace passed away April 12, 2021, having reacher her 101st birthday.) and North Carolinian Florence Nash, gave AGAR permission to use their poems, AGAR paid for Anne Spencer’s poems, was given permission to use poems of the late Alma Rountrey (born Amherst VA in 1914, died 2010 in Altavista), whose book of poems, "Hunting Quarter"  AGAR published in 2009. We also used a few poems that were in the public domain. Poems were delivered with meals to a total of over 800 individuals this year in Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford and Campbell counties and the towns of Bedford and Lynchburg.
