Barbara Verzyl directs the program with Assistant Director, Vicki Santilli.

If you are interested in in the program for a loved one or just need additional information about the program itself, call Barbara at 770-979-9676, ext. 232 or e-mail her at Barbara Verzyl. A pre-participation interview is required.

In addition to the directors, this program would not be possible without the participation of a dedicated group of volunteers. Some volunteers spend only an hour or so a week helping out while others may volunteer for the entire day's activities.

Calvin Cove is a dynamic ministry; and, as it grows, additional volunteers are always needed. Barbara works with each volunteer's schedule and provides training so that each volunteer can confidently work with the participants. Calvin Cove is a wonderfully fulfilling ministry and the volunteers can testify to the satisfaction they receive working with the attendees, their caregivers and the other volunteers.
