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!

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.

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.
