sunlight slants through the wall of
west-facing windows in what is known
as "Downtown," a large, multipurpose
room at the Blue Ridge PaCE center
in Charlottesville. On this chilly winter
day, dozens of participants in this adult
day center program are warm and
happy. as the volunteer who comes
every Friday performs "oldies-but-
goodies" on his keyboard, these frail
older adults lounge in comfy chairs,
clapping and nodding and singing
along. One woman even gets up to do
a shuffle dance with a staff member.
