PEAL helps shut-ins Phoning the Elderly and Lonely is an initiative of the Retired and Senior Volunteers Program that links volun- munity since 2005 when George Ryan Ahlmeyer, one of its members, installed the flag drop at Vander Plaat Funeral Home in Wyckoff as his Eagle Scout project. The preparation and retiring of flags has since developed into a Troop 77 commitment. The boys in the troop spend weeks cutting the flags as dictated by flag etiquette. At the ceremony, the flags will be burned to the recitation of patriotic passages, and eventually buried. Troop 77 has retired nearly 3,000 flags since the project’s inception. The ceremony, which is approximately a half an hour long, is open to the public. All attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. teers who are eager to provide friendly phone calls with individuals who are isolated in their homes. Those who are being called are shut-ins who are unable to get out due to an illness or disability. Sometimes the caller is also a shut-in and is glad to make calls. PEAL is currently seeking both volunteers to make calls and people who would like to receive a regular phone call.
