Northern California Active Adult Community Helps Children in Vietnam

Sometimes the life you lead during retirement is the most rewarding time of your life. Take Gary Spear, for example. Gary is a resident of Trilogy of Rio Vista, a Northern California active adult retirement community. In a visit to Vietnam over 10 years ago, Gary was particularly moved by the hardships that the people of this Southeast Asian country experienced. Determined to make a difference in their world, Gary got involved with a Vietnamese outreach program (Room to Read) that provides under-privileged children with an opportunity to acquire the lifelong gift of education.

Since then, he has inspired other residents in his active adult community in Northern California to get involved with this program. Together, he and other residents have set a goal to raise $4,000 to help Room to Read create a library for children in Vietnam which will serve hundreds of children with 500-1000 English and local language children's books.

If you want to make your retirement years meaningful there are many active adult communities in Northern California, as well as other areas in the nation, where programs like these are a cornerstone of community life. Trilogy Active Adult Retirement Communities encourages these types of programs in their communities – visit them at www.TrilogyLife.com for a peek at what’s happening in each community.
