Funding Obstacles - Exploring Solutions

Presented to the WVSAC Board of Directors by Jim Tarbert, Board Member and Expansion Committee Chair
North Tempe Multi-Generations Center
Many communities in Arizona, recognizing the need to become more inclusive, have built multi-generational centers in lieu of senior centers. While there are still plenty of programs for seniors, there are also opportunities for younger generations, as well as activities to encourage interaction between younger and older groups. Photo credit: City of Tempe.

​Please note: The following was presented to the Senior Center Board of Directors on May 19. It is for discussion purposes only. No decisions have been made.

We did not secure a grant from the 2025 State Capital Budget, despite having been told we would qualify. To find out why, we are meeting with advisors — including Rep. Mike Steele, on June 10.

Teri Ayala presents Mark Blakeslee with the gift basket he won in East Wenatchee Senior Living’s drawing.
We'd like to thank East Wenatchee Senior Living and Colonial Vista Senior Living for their continued sponsorship of our Western Day lunch. They have been supporting our lunch program for over five years by paying for the food we provide (roast beef with all the fixings) and in exchange, we allow them to set up a booth to talk to our lunch attendees. They also volunteer and help us serve lunch to the tables. This lunch is hugely popular and usually sells out in advance.
