DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE:
Welcome to fall at Ballard NW
Senior Center. What a great
time of year it is. Everyone is
refreshed after a fun summer
and ready to enjoy all the fall
activities here. I love fall with beautiful foliage, sunny days, cool nights, harvest moons,
a crackling fire, football, pumpkins, and all
the fall events and Holidays. What a fun and
active fall we have planned for you. Wonderful classes and programs are back in full
swing, interesting speakers, delicious
lunches, terrific exercise, health and wellness
opportunities and on it goes. Fall is a perfect
time to try a new class, hear a speaker, volunteer, join one of our clubs, come to a party,
take a trip, sell those raffle tickets and spend
time with old and new friends. Some fall highlights include our famous Rummage Sale and
Holiday Bazaar, The Irish Tenor’s Concert,
Rainbow Bingo, parties, Veteran’s Day Celebration, Holiday lunches, and so much more.
Remember to take care of yourselves, get a
flu shot, see Scott, have your feet done with
Carolyn, see the Bastyr docs, let Jan clean
your teeth, see Jerry for your Medicare or
Medicare enrollment health insurance checkup and get out and get active during this
gorgeous season.
We need to have a very successful fall with
our fundraisers. We serve more and more
people without much in additional resources.
So, it is most important for our participants
and the Community to support our fundraisers as we do everything possible to help ourselves. Expenses continue to increase especially now that we have to do almost all the
maintenance on the building. The Board
made the difficult decision to raise membership dues by $5 to $35 per year. We haven’t
raised dues for a number of years. (See the
article on dues for additional information. We
appreciate your support. I hope to see all of
you often this fall. This center does so much,
for so many and your support as participants
and volunteers makes it all possible. Thank
you.
Happy Fall Everyone!
“As the first leaves change their colors for autumn’s big show, we welcome the cool crispness in the air.” Sheri Bresnahan
“Crunching, crinkling autumn leaves spiraling,
swirling in the breeze” Julie Cantrell
Love,
Fall is Here!

HALLOWEEN PARTY
OCT. 31 AT 12:30PM
Come and wear your favorite
costume for our costume
contest. We will have a special treat with
“A POE-pourri of Halloween Horror Stories” by
Jake Esau (Edgar Allan Poe). He was with us
for “Dickens” a while back. Fun, food and
costumes! SEE YOU THERE!
SNOW AND WEATHER
It’s August and 80 degrees but
since it is the fall newsletter I
will make mention of the white
stuff “snow.” Should we get a
late fall “snow” please remember we follow the Seattle School District guidelines. If the Seattle Schools are closed or late
so is the Center. Please, the safest place for
you in bad weather is in your own home.
Broken bones and wrecked cars are not worth
the trip to the Center.
YEAR END
DONATIONS
At the end of each year the
Center asks our participants
and the community to make
a tax deductable year end donation to the
Center and to be as generous as your
situation allows. These donations are an
important part of our budget and many of our
funders ask what percentage of our own
participants contribute. So it is important to
donate what you can. We would like to say
we had 100% participation. Impressive to
funders and donors. Many of you have
contributed in the past and we thank you for
considering the center in your 2012 year end
giving plans. You are appreciated.

FRIENDLY LUNCHES
Our lunches are growing by
leaps and bounds. The food is
marvelous and smiles all around.
Chef Bob and crew do a terrific
job providing healthy and delicious meals. I want to remind
everyone that we are known as
the “Friendly” Center which means that we hope everyone welcomes new guests, invites them to share your
table and makes everyone feel that they have a place at
the Center. Remember, seat saving isn’t allowed and we
don’t reserve places. Too often someone saves a place
and then no one comes to take that place. Also lunches
are on a donation basis. While the suggested donation is
$3.00 people contribute what they can or want to donate.
Some people pay by the week or some pay several days
at a time. Some may not contribute daily. Donations are
important to the program but no one should feel bad or
be ostracized if they don’t contribute. There is a donation
box just for that purpose so people can put in the amount
they chose. Many thanks to one and all. Come join us for
our great lunches.
Closed Dates:

Ballard NW
Senior Center
Please read the trip procedures and be aware that
the regulations and procedures will be strictly
enforced. Too often participants are not paying the
down payment as required ($5) then not paying by
the due date and canceling at the last minute. This
is unfair to other participants, the Center and our
destination. If you have questions or concerns,
please ask the staff.
TRIP POLICY FOR DAY TRIPS & DINE OUT
1) When you sign up for a trip you must pay a $5.00
nonrefundable trip fee. If the trip is $5 or less than $5,
then you just pay that amount as your deposit and
final payment.
2) Final payment is due one week prior to the trip. Final
payment is the cost of the trip less the $5 deposit (e.g.
trip cost $12, less the $5 trip fee then final payment is
$7).
3) If final payment is not made, you forfeit your place on
the trip and the $5 trip fee.
4) If you cancel your reservation two days or less before
the trip is to depart, you forfeit your entire payment
unless we can fill your space or you are canceling for
certified illness. If we fill your space, we will refund all
but the $5.
5) Deposits, payments, and refunds are not exchangeable or interchangeable. Thank you for your cooperation.
FREE FOOD PROGRAM
We are all thankful that the Center is occasionally the recipient of donated food from
our local food providers. In fairness to
ALL, we remind everyone to take only 1 or
2 items from each category (bakery, fruits,
vegetables), so that there is enough for ALL.
Come Hear the MARKET STREET SINGERS
Tuesday Evenings at 7-9 pm
The Market Street Singers are a choral ensemble
from Ballard that builds connections within diverse
communities. Celebrating the joy of choral music
among singers and listeners, we aspire to cultivate
neighborhood pride with choral arts that are truly
community-identified.
