What’s going on at the Mullis Center….

Just got this nice note from Jody Price over at the Mullis Center….lots going on:
My note today is to share with the San Juan Island community some things I am learning about the Mullis Community Senior Center (MCSC) as I spend a few hours each week volunteering here.
Did you know that we have a senior population of over 2000 people on San Juan Island and at this time only about 500 have made the commitment to become members at the MCSC. Membership is very affordable at $15.00 singles/$25.00 couples per year.
This leads me to believe that many folks are missing out on one of the terrific benefits of membership which would be to receive the “Senior Signal”. This is an informative monthly newsletter mailed to your home or post office box and contains within a monthly calendar with daily classes, off island trips and transportation, when one can make an appointment for foot care or attend a pancake breakfast (which helps fund the center).
Each month there is a message from the Senior Advisory Committee…these are the movers and shakers who have kept the doors open and the lights at this great facility and all as volunteers! You will also find a message from Senior Coordinator Curt Van Hyning. He often includes the most current information about insurance, Medicare and Medicaid for seniors as well as insights and short articles that add perspective to our daily lives.
Other features found regularly in the newsletter include the Happy Birthday list…a chance to celebrate the lives of our friends and family members, a lunch menu for the Monday and Thursday lunches where all are welcome starting at 11:45 with a cost of $4.00 for seniors and those under 60 can dine for $6.00.
Services such as Blood Pressure Clinic, Hearing tests, home delivered meals, senior transportation and helpful phone numbers are within the pages too. What a helpful and informative resource the “Senior Signal” is and a great way to get and stay connected.
I am hopeful you will stop by the Mullis Community Senior Center (MCSC) Monday through Thursday 9 am to 4 pm or on Friday’s from 9 to noon and become a member, get the “Signal” and stay in touch with those you live amongst.
With the warmest intentions!
