Sheila Davison, left, and Jane Mikonis of Access Services, Inc., welcome guests during Tuesday's open house held at the Access Services Tamaqua LIFE Program Center, 521 Schuylkill Avenue. A steady stream of visitors filed into the complex to learn more about the advantages of becoming a host family and how it benefits all parties. Visitors enjoyed light refreshments, chatted with host families, and watched a video about the program. Davison said opportunities still exist, especially for those with wheelchair accessible homes. Those who missed the open house are welcome to call Access Services, a not-for-profit organization, at (570) 668-0271 to learn more about lifesharing opportunities.
