Our Center has become one of my favorite gathering places because I love hearing the laughter, seeing the smiles and welcoming hugs offered to each other! It is a place where we come together to find new friendships, renew old ones and support each other. We so have lots of fun along the way! We are constantly striving to keep our Center fun and relevant to you and our community, and you are the key ingredient! We need your ideas and continued participation. Please continue to complete the forms for the Suggestion Box. Someone asked me if I actually read them…and, yes, I do read them so please keep them coming. I have been thinking about the nature of our community – the day to day interactions that are the very fabric of what makes our Center the wonderful place that is. And just like a marriage, it involves reflection about what matters most and it requires letting go of old ideas and oftentimes, old grudges in order to move forward to a positive outcome or solution. Isn’t that a lifelong lesson to learn? Personally, I know I keep learning that lesson over and over. I ask this of you — that each of our members continue to demonstrate our welcoming culture, in a very active way. If you see a new face, say hello and ask them to sit and have lunch with you. Our greatness is formed in a large part in the small moments when we act and respond with compassion. That’s the good thing about our Center. Best Regards, Lynda Greene, SESSC Executive Director 6 Southeast Seattle Senior Center 4655 S Holly St, Seattle, WA 98118 206-722-0317 A Message from the SESSC Board President Dear Friends, We are proud to announce the 4th Annual Dinner and Auction!

Our fundraising goal this year is $30,000. The guests will enjoy a live and silent auction featuring a range of exciting items. All of the proceeds from the auction will support the Center’s programs and activities. The planning has begun but we need your help to make this event a success.

I met several caregivers who shared stories of joy and grief. I believe the keynote speaker, Wendy Lustbader, captured the needs of all people, especially caregivers through her speech, “Beyond the Physical: Caring for the Needs of the Spirit.” In her speeches, she shared the story of a couple struggling to transition after the husband had a stroke and lost the use of half his body. Through working with this man, it became clear to Wendy that he missed having a role in the community. He was seeking meaning. Shortly after, he started preparing letters and stuffing envelopes for a local nonprofit organization. The man was proud of his commitment to the agency and his perspective on his physical limitations changed. As a result, their relationship flourished and both felt supported by the other. Lustbader shared that, “everyone holds the key to unlock their suffering. Finding meaning during difficult times can be a struggle.” I’ve heard from many members that the Southeast Seattle Senior Center provides them with meaning, whether they are helping another member, setting up lunch tables, or in community over a meal. Meaning can be found in many different ways and in many different places. Where will you find yours? Jaime Clark, MSW The Cheap Chickadee - SESSC’s Thrift Shop July 20th - 24th 4645 S.

Some of you might know him well enough to know he is kind, friendly, warm and caring, who always carries a big and bright smile. However, there is something that you might not know about Harold. He enjoys writing poetry. He has three self-published books of poetry. His works were regularly featured in a poetry column of the FACTS Newspaper. We hope that you enjoy reading one of his compositions.

We are proud to welcome these new additions to our all-star team of volunteers: Don and Mary Lou Johnston - Don and Mary Lou came to Seattle from Federal Way. They have been coming to the Center primarily for the lunch. Shortly afterward, Don began volunteering in the Community Dining Program as a cashier on Thursdays and has helped minor repairs at the Center. Mary Lou keeps the chairs and centerpieces in the social hall neat. Saundra Chambers – Saundra found out about the Center through Heather Robinson, our fantastic Massage Therapist. We are very pleased to have Saundra on our team of Community Dining volunteers. She helps as a server, bringing food to clients eagerly awaiting lunch. Saundra is calm and kind and ready to work! We are grateful that she chose the SESSC as the way to give back to her community. Thomas Gipson – Thomas has many years of experience in a variety of fields. We are lucky he wants to share some of his experience with us. Thomas keeps the Center’s chairs, tables, door knobs clean and sanitized. He also maintains the lobby, making sure it stays tidy. We are fortunate to have him as a volunteer. We Need Your Help! We really need your help! Please consider becoming a volunteer in the following areas: Community Dining Lunch Program: Because participation in our lunch program has grown dramatically, Sharon Smith, our Master Chef, needs help in the kitchen with a variety of tasks, like food preparation, washing dishes and lunch service in order to ensure excellent service. One of the perks of being a volunteer in the Community Dining Lunch program is that you don’t have to pay for lunch. Front Desk Receptionist: Our list of receptionists has grown critically short and your help is greatly appreciated. Receptionists have the special and distinct honor of being the first face new people see when they visit our Center for the first time. Use your warm smile to greet people both familiar and new. It is its own reward. Special Events: One of the ways the SESSC is able to provide the activities you enjoy is by raising money through our various special events such as the Annual Dinner and Auction and Rainbow Bingo. Be a part of the group that truly makes it happen at the Southeast Seattle Senior Center. Stop by Kate’s office or call her at (206) 722-0317 to find the volunteer opportunity that is right for you. New idea to try: volunteer with a friend to make it even more fun! 19 Southeast Seattle Senior Center 4655 S Holly St, Seattle, WA 98118 206-722-0317 Thank You Supporters General Donations ALISS Beulah Early Harold Shepherd Marjorie Brown Martha Gilliam Mary Downs Jean Sisson Joanne Mehus Loretta Orpilla Melva Williamson Patricia Vazquez In Memoriam and Honorary Donations Bertha Walter, In Memory of Norman Chamberlain Margaret Yellowwolf, In Memory of Kay Endo's Son G A Schuhmann, In Memory of Norman Chamberlain Margaret Yellowwolf, In Memory of Stanford Lawson Helen S Barton, In Memory of Norman Chamberlain Marjorie Brown, In Memory of Stanford Lawson Herb Tsuchiya, In Memory of Bertha Tsuchiya Mary Carpenter, In Memory of Mary Carpenter Joanne Mehus, In Memory of Norman Chamberlain Patricia Vazquez, In Memory of Stanford Lawson Joella W Cheek, In Memory of Norman Chamberlain Patricia Vazquez, In Memory of Mary Carpenter Margaret Yellowwolf, In Memory of Norman Chamberlain Patricia Vazquez, In Memory of Paul Dyson Margaret Yellowwolf, In Memory of Mae Mitchell's Daughter Saundra Morgan, In Honor of Betty Mochizuki Betty Muir, In Memory of Rosemary Daniel In Kind Donations Alberta Nielsen Allyson Hurdelbrink Carmelita Fitzgerald Diana Tobin Doris D.

It came to us through the SESSC Suggestion Box as a activity to have at the Center. Because the SESSC staff aims to please, steps were taken to make this a reality. The activity caught fire quickly and it is now among the most popular games to play at the Center. Beach Volleyball takes place on Tuesdays from 2:00pm to 2:30pm. Come and check it out for yourself. We know you will have a blast. Advertisements Jonathan A.
