For a slide show of the occasion link to: https://video214.com/play/ ckDYU0C8EfBC1z3UafGHPA/s/dark. The occasion led me to reflect on why I have stayed in this business for forty years. Quite simply it is because I get to work every day with the kind of people who were present at that event – mature, experienced, accomplished, and interested in making a contribution to something larger than themselves. Volunteers understand that it is better to give than receive, that their happiness depends on the happiness of others, and that it really does take a community to give us all the kind of life that we wish for ourselves, our families and friends. Our wonderful entertainment for the evening was the “Rolling Crones” a singing group who are part of “Crone of Puget Sound”. Their mission: Through programs and activities, Crone of Puget Sound: Encourages, supports, and informs older women about possibilities, opportunities, and adventures as they age. Provides opportunities to join a widening circle of friends. Provides younger women an opportunity to experience a community of vital older women. Supports the visibility and activism of older women in the wider community.” It was our pleasure to host them. Talking with them afterwards, it was clearly their pleasure to perform for us. INVITATION TO OUR ANNUAL GALA DINNER AND AUCTION – MAY 6TH Please accept my personal invitation to attend our third annual Gala Dinner and Auction on Saturday, May 6th at 5:30 pm here at the Senior Center. The cost is $75 per person. RSVP to our office. The auction committee, co-chaired by Cheryl Reagan and Vivian Egashira, has done an extraordinary job in every aspect of the event – planning, publicity, dinner and dessert, silent and live items, technical and volunteer support, working with our auctioneer. The theme for this year’s event is “Sunset”. The sun is indeed setting on the old senior center building. It has served this community very well indeed for fifty years, but everyone knows it is time for a new beginning. The quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson in our auction program is apt for the occasion: “Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn”. We anticipate breaking ground for the new Edmonds Waterfront Center during the spring of next year (2018). Thus this year will be last year for the auction in this building. I encourage you to come, have a great fun filled evening and support this Center, which has supported all of us for so long. INVITATION TO MAY 7TH WATERFRONT CENTER RECEPTION FOR MEMBERS AND FAMILIES Please also accept my personal invitation to attend a special reception for members and their families on Sunday, May 7th 2:00-3:30 pm here at the Senior Center. Mayor Garry Haakenson will be the MC for the program. This is a chance for Center members and their families to learn more about the project, its details and timelines, and how they might become involved. Many children of our members know well how important the Center has been for their parents and have expressed an interest in supporting the Center. We are not expecting many people to do both, although Gary will be active in each event. If you have the stamina, we would love to see you at both events. TWO REMINDERS: HEALTHY LIVING FAIR APRIL 28TH & CAFÉ APRIL 29TH Just two quick reminders for really special events at the end of April. The first is our annual Healthy Living Fair, sponsored by Care Partners on Friday, April 28th, 10:00 am-2:00 pm. It is a great free event with over 60 vendors, a no-cost lunch from Fairwinds Brighton Court. Your participation supports the Center in a very tangible way. Please come and bring a friend. The second event is the Creative Age Festival Edmonds (CAFÉ) all day on Saturday, April 29th beginning at 8:00am here at the Senior Center. “CAFÉ” also stands for “Creative, Active, Fulfilled, Engaged”. Dr. Gloria Burgess provides the keynote, with a choice of 29 stimulating workshops throughout the day. See on-line program and registration at www. ceativeagefestival.org.

AS THE CHANGES PLAY OUT, WE WILL MOST ASSUREDLY RETAIN THESE CORE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE US ONE OF THE MORE APPRECIATED SENIOR CENTERS IN THE AREA.

Baptized Every Morning Fri, May 19, 10:00am, Library By Author: Bridget Clawson Sign up: at the Front Desk Author Bridget Clawson has published her new book on Amazon, “Baptized Every Morning: Guidepost, Sketchbook and Journal on Living with Big Grief and Loss”. “Baptized Every Morning” will help anyone who feels lost to find their own personal direction and truth. While it was written to help a broader audience than her first book, “The Widow Lessons”, it can be used as a companion for that book as well. However, it was written foremost as a workbook for people living with grief. Bridget Clawson lost her husband of thirty-four years in 2009. She was the Human Resources Director for Snohomish County for twenty-six years. When she retired in 2016, she wrote “The Widow Lessons” about her experiences with grief and loss. Her readers frequently expressed that her book helped them, even though they are not a widow. This feedback was her motivation for her most recent book, “Baptized Every Morning”. It is a workbook for anyone learning to live with life-changing grief. Copies of the book are available for sale at the event, with $2.00 donated from each sale to the Senior Center. If you would like to purchase the book in advance of the event, you can do so on Amazon.

Locally Owned and Operated since 2002 520 112th St. SW • Everett • 425.438.9080 GardenCourtRetirement.com EQUAL HOUSING Nurse’s Column Did you say, as I did, “Oh, thank goodness spring is here!”? True gratitude comes in all shapes and sizes. It changes from day to day and is unique for each of us. The one constant is being aware of what you HAVE, rather than what you do not. Appreciating the world around us is a skill to be learned and incorporated into daily living. Adopting an “attitude of gratitude” means taking the negative things and challenging ourselves to find a way to be grateful. Even if it is rain, or arthritis, or weeds. Need some inspiration? Watch the Louie Schwartzberg TEDtalk “Gratitude” on Youtube. It is well worth your time. Do you have a question you would like to submit?
