Pappano and Breslin

Dana M. Breslin graduated Villanova University School of Law in 1975, just as the Older Americans’ Act was funding legal services for the elderly. She was hired by Delaware County Legal Assistance to establish the Senior Citizens’ Project which was one of the first in the country training retired volunteer advocates to reach out into the community assisting elders with legal questions. From 1975 to 1985, she ran this program. She trained over 50 volunteers, reaching out to more than 20 community sites.
