6 Greetings from SESSC Director Lynda Greene Greetings to all of our wonderful members and supporters! I hope you are staying warm and safe as the weather gets colder! We have been truly blessed in And as I think about this past year, I m so grateful to our members, volunteers and board members and dynamic staff who continue to support the mission of our Center. From the Director s Desk As we begin a new year in 2015, there is so much to be proud of! We raised more money at our 2014 Dinner and Auction than in any other fundraising event in SESSC history. Thanks to the leadership of our Board President, Evelyn Fairchild, the dedicated efforts of Committee members, and ever committed staff, we raised over $23,000! Our Rainbow Bingo events continue to be a huge success as each event gets larger and larger. Thanks to the efforts led by Kate Harkins, we raised over $11,000 at Rainbow Bingo fundraisers in 2014! In 2015 we will continue to focus on fundraising so that our Center can remain a viable part of the lives of our members as well as our community. Although we have a strong line-up of classes, trips, activities and resources for 2015, we always welcome your input regarding what YOU would like to see take place at your Center. One of my primary goals this year is to increase our membership by 25%, while providing relevant, interesting, and fun programming. We also will be adding more afternoon activities as well as some Saturday activities. Certainly I need your help to grow our Center, so I am asking each member to ask a friend or family member to join our Center. Some of the new programming we will be introducing in 2015 is more relevant programming for the men in our Center. Stay tuned for the announcement regarding activities specifically designed for men! And, as we get the word out about our Center, stay tuned for more information about Share the Love an Open House scheduled for February 14, It promises to be a fun filled day! Best Regards, Lynda Greene, SESSC Executive Director 6 Southeast Seattle Senior Center 4655 S Holly St, Seattle, WA

7 A Message from the SESSC Board President Dear Friends, The New Year is always a time when we look back on the past and forward to the future. It s the time we make New Year s resolutions. There are many resolutions made about health and fitness, enjoying life more and learning something new. But if your resolution is about helping others, you should take a look at The Giving Issue, of Parade Magazine, Dec. 21, There are 35 ideas for sharing your good fortune or your valuable time with Americans in need. According to the article, by Alison Gwinn, We are a nation of givers: Americans donated a staggering #335 billion to charities in 2013, and the vast majority of that 87% - came from individuals The suggestions for giving are divided up into five categories: Veterans, Hunger, Children, Nature and Seniors. The section about seniors, caught my attention. There are suggestions to: a) Help feed the elderly, donate to Meals on Wheels, b) Be a fixer-upper, assist seniors near you with tasks like raking, shoveling, or doing minor home repairs, c) Put it in Drive, be a volunteer instructor in AARP s Smart Driver course, which allows older drivers to brush up on their behind-the-wheel skills, and d) Teach Technology. If you are software savvy, sign up to teach older adults computer and technology skills. There are many ways you have helped seniors in our community and here at the Center. In addition to supporting our major fund raising events like The Annual Auction, Rainbow Bingo, the Wine Tasting and Pancake Breakfast, you have signed up for the many Community Rewards Program of our local businesses such as: Bartell s Drug Store e- script program, where you designate the proceeds to go to Southeast Seattle Senior Center Fred Meyer Rewards Card. Sign up for Community Rewards program and link your Rewards Card to SESSC by name or by our non-profit number address required Look for other businesses that have a similar Community Rewards Program Look for our Quarterly Appeal Letters. Donate to a special cause outlined in the letter If you participate in these giving suggestions you will keep the giving season going all year long and help SESSC to be a part of a viable community.

15 Why You Should Be an SESSC Member By Sidney Carter Hello! I am a Lifetime Member here at Southeast Seattle Senior Center and I am so glad! I have been coming to this center for over 20 years. I have met new friends, gone on interesting trips like the Phoenix Tea Shop in Burien, and learned to play new games like Hands-N-Feet. I also enjoy having lunch through the center s Community Dining Lunch program. I have eaten many a delicious and healthy a meal and that is not always easy to make happen at the same time! One of the things about the lunch program I am grateful and proud to share with others is that while a small monetary donation pf for lunch is encouraged, no one is turned away because they cannot pay. Being a member gives me a sense that this is My center, and that I help make it strong by putting my dollars toward programs I love and want to share with others. I know my contribution is really appreciated. I recommend you join the center. Membership reduces the cost of most classes and activities that are already affordable. Whether you join as a lifetime or annual member, you will get satisfaction that you have done the right thing.

If we call the three sides A, B, and C we A x B = 240 A x C = 300 B x C = 180 Multiplying these together we get: (A x B) x (A x C) x (B x C) = 240 x 300 x 180 A 2 x B 2 x C 2 = 12,960,000 Note: Combining like terms (A x B x C) 2 = 12,960,000 Note: Utilizing the distributive property Which means that: A x B x C = 3600 Note: We took the square root of both sides Because we already know that A x B = 240, we can substitute 240 for A x B. Therefore, 240 x C = 3600, which means that C = 15. The values for A and B also be determined using the first three equations noted above. It follows that: Puzzle #4: CBBG = CABBAGE CLFLWR = CAULIFLOWER CCMBR = CUCUMBER CRGTT = COURGETTE CRRT = CARROT A=20 B=12 C=15 QED Answers: Nine-Letter word: MYTHOLOGY.

19 SESSC Volunteer Corner SESSC volunteers demonstrate with their investment in time, hard work, and loving care their commitment to forming a strong community and welcoming culture at our center. We are proud to welcome these new additions to our all-star team of volunteers: Shirley Miles started recently as an SESSC volunteer and we are glad! Shirley helps us organize events and with anything else we need to have done. She played a major role in making our annual dinner and auction a success. Thanks, Shirley for all you are doing and have done for the SESSC! Fai Coffin is a long standing and steady volunteer at our center. Recently she led the Crafts Club to contribute luminaria bags to the Rainier Beach Holiday Festival. How cool is that? Thanks Fai and Southend Crafters! Louise Ramos is also placed at the thrift store through a work training program. For two years Louise has been working very hard to make our store beautiful and welcoming to shoppers, always ready to invent a new way to organize donations or refigure the display so it is ever more enticing to those seeking a bargain at the Cheap Chickadee. She is quite successful, so we raise more dollars for programs at our center. Thanks Louise! AARP is a program for those searching for work and they place job seekers in nonprofits, including SESSC. We benefit greatly from this arrangement, especially when those people s abilities are a good fit for the work we need them to do. So it is with great pleasure that we call out two fantastic additions to the SESSC crew: Harold Murphy. Does everything in the kitchen from serving as Sous Chef to Dishwashing, but still puts on a nice shirt every day. Harold enjoys his family time and, as his parents are still living, he says he knows what many of our seniors are going through. We are glad to have his hard work and humble personality, helping make lunch a success every day. There s a New Chef in Town We are so pleased to welcome Sharon Smith as our new chef! Sharon grew up as a military baby, so has lived all over the world but came back to raise a family in her real home town of Castle Rock, WA. She is a grandmother who likes to garden, play with her Labrador retrievers, and take an active role in supporting her grandchildren. And she likes southern cooking now don t you think we are ready for some down-home good food? We have already enjoyed jambalaya, fried chicken, Swedish meatballs. Thanks Sharon, for completing our team and making our lunches delicious! Sharon, get comfortable, we like you! We Always Need New Volunteers. We really need help in the lunch program. Other opportunities include special events. Call Kate Harkins at of stop by her office if you are interested. New idea -- Volunteer with a friend to make it even more fun! By the time you read this newsletter, there may be a new volunteer at the Center. Please extend a warm welcome and thank-you to our new volunteers, including the ones not on this list. Let s keep it going strong! Thanks to Georgia Spencer and the board members who help keep the thrift store open on SATURDAYS. We are still going strong on Saturdays! 19 Southeast Seattle Senior Center 4655 S Holly St, Seattle, WA
