and guide the development of future PNA
programming and resources simply by letting
us know a little bit about yourself in a short,
demographics survey. You can complete the
survey in person at the Phinney Center or
online at phinneycenter.org/survey.

PNA Village Needs Volunteers
Now in its second year of providing
volunteer services and preferred vendor
referrals, the PNA Village has witnessed a
significant increase in service requests. Last
year, members made a total of 3 requests
in April and 5 requests in May. This year,
members have made a total of 32 requests
in April and 41 requests in May.
More requests means a need for more
volunteers! PNA Village’s most popular
member requests are minor home repairs
and maintenance, rides to appointments
and errands in the Seattle area, and seasonal yard work. PNA Village volunteers
also provide light housekeeping, senior
companionship to members, committee
support and office support.
