Director's Message - August 2025

Parking lot restriping
The entire parking lot at the Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center has been restriped and all of the handicap space markers and directional arrows have been repainted.. However, the sidewalk at the right of this photo is still under renovation. Please be careful around this area.
W​e have made it to the “dog days” of summer and it feels as if the long, hot days have slowed to a crawl. How is it, then, that I can hardly keep up? I seem to get busier every week, working hard to make the Senior Center a place everyone loves to come to whether it is for our terrific lunches created by Debbie and her volunteer crew, or Frankie and her line dancing group or David and his creative card-making group. It seems we have something to offer nearly everyone. We are continuing our diligent work on raising funds to make our new building a reality for all of the other activities and events we are currently unable to accommodate.

​Typically, I write about more compelling topics — big-picture travel inspiration, transformative cultural experiences, all that noble stuff. But today, I thought I’d dabble in something a bit more light-hearted: the curious phenomenon of travel-style opposites attracting

There are lots of ways to communicate over the internet — social media like Facebook, instant messaging services like Messenger, virtual phone services like WhatsApp — but the gold standard for online communication, particularly with people over age 50, is still email.

Executive Director's Message - July 2025

Senior Center 2025 Annual Meeting
The 2025 Annual Meeting was held on June 18.
I ​would like to begin this month’s message by saying thank you to all our members who attended our annual meeting. This is a very important meeting for the Senior Center. I know it takes extra time out of your day to attend, but it is so important to keep our fingers on the pulse of the needs and expectations of our membership and to meet a quorum for voting purposes (4% required votes from our active membership).  We talk about the important “housekeeping” issues such as explaining our current and projected budget and discussing our needs and expectations for the future. There is always a question-and-answer period towards the end of the meeting, which helps keep us engaged with our membership and gives everyone the opportunity to be involved. The annual meeting is also a time for us to elect new board members for the expiring or vacated seats. This year we say goodbye to Pam McGhee, our Chairman of the Board. She has faithfully served her full two-year term and we could not be more grateful for all she has done for the Senior Center. Not only has she given her time, but she has also shared her wisdom and knowledge with us over these past two years. She will continue to serve on the board as our past chairman, which includes voting rights for a minimum of one year. 
board members Jim Tarbert and Jay Larson
