Dear Friends,
As you know, we continue to keep our doors open
even in the wake of continued challenges.
To those of you who helped us, we thank
you. Your help comes in so many ways.
You help us financially. You help us by
volunteering in the Center. You help us
by spreading the word that we are
continuing to offer all our programs,
services, and activities. We haven’t skipped a
beat! We are grateful to those of you who tried to
convince our City leaders that they should fund
Issaquah Senior Center. Please continue to
request the City to support us. Now that the City’s
Tape Line
report on Senior Services clearly shows
Issaquah Senior Center as the community’s
seniors’ top choice, perhaps City leaders
will reconsider their abrupt decision to
cancel our City grant support.
Together, we’ve made it this far. Let’s
keep the faith. Please come out and
support our Salmon Days Sales in any
way you can. Donate your gently used
items, bake some goodies, volunteer to help
during the sales, or support us financially. You
can make a difference!
Many Blessings Always,
Courtney
