Seanene steps down…

The folks over at Village at the Harbour just sent this note over saying Seanene is stepping away from that incredible place she began – her smile & caring & organization will be sorely missed – here’s more:
Seanene
Seanene Kennedy has announced her resignation as Managing Director of San Juan Island’s assisted living facility, the Village at the Harbour.
Kennedy conceived the idea of a first-rate assisted living facility while still owning and managing Friday Harbor Fitness. She recruited Brian Brown to assist her with its design and development. The two co-managed the facility until 2009, when Brown left to pursue other interests.
Consistent with Kennedy’s vision, the Village has established itself as a superior choice for retired islanders and parents of islanders. Through classes, musical events, and other activities, it maintains a stimulating and creative environment for its residents. Social interaction with each other and with family and community members keeps residents engaged and active.
Of her retirement, Kennedy says, “I will dearly miss my residents and my staff, but I look forward to spending more time with my dog and my grandchildren.” Kennedy will continue to teach a fitness class at the Village, and remains an investor in the enterprise.

Seanene created a facility all islanders cannot help but be proud of. She envisioned an exceptional assisted living facility, one that would give great peace to our island’s aging seniors and their children; one that would keep our elders home; one that would not necessitate families having the expense and time to travel off-island to visit their loved-ones.
Seanene will be sorely missed at the Village but forever remembered and appreciated for creating it. Thank you Seanene.
