[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My widowed MIL relocated to be nearer to us.  She had a strong network of friends and volunteering activities in her former hometown, but Covid kept her isolated when she first moved here.  
She is mid-70s and still drives.  Her knee gives her trouble so she can't do anything that involves extremely long walks, but she would be great at being a hospital greeter, helping drive other seniors to appointments---or similar types of volunteering.  She'd also love to take more advantage of all the great Smithsonian Associates offerings but is a little intimidated at doing it alone.  She is one of the kindest, nicest people I know.  DH and I wish she could make a new friend network.  Family is ex-military, though MIL is pretty liberal.  We live in the Arlington/Alexandria area.

Any advice on how I can help her network with other retirees?  [/quote]

Arlington 55+ offers a lots of classes. Some are virtual, others are in person.
