LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Theresa LaCroix, Shoreline Lake Forest Park Senior Center Director
Hello Everyone,
We continue to stay super busy at the center but realize that many of our previous members are still not aware that we have been operating full speed through the pandemic. Please share with your neighbors and friends that we not only offer online classes, but additional medical and food security programs are available as well.
November began our focus on providing additional help to individuals through the holidays. Through a partnership with Maverick Gaming, we were able to provide 200 Thanksgiving meal vouchers to seniors in our community. The uncooked meal consisted of a fresh turkey or ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, bread rolls, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. National Guardsman Sergeant Suthern (assigned to our center) managed the distribution of vouchers. Along with Maverick Gaming, we will provide vouchers for a full ham dinner over the December holidays. If you would like to be a recipient of the meal, please contact Sergeant Suthern at the center, 206-365-1536.
We want to apologize for any frustration you faced during Giving Tuesday, in attempting to donate on our website through MobileCause. MobileCause experienced 2 major ‘shutdowns’ across the nation, leaving us unable to receive donations during the largest donation day of the year. Please know that your financial support is crucial in our work and especially during COVID-19 as we are unable to operate our regular revenue generating programs. All donations are tax deductible! We are able to accept your offerings either by mailing a check to the center or dropping it off at the front door or telephoning us with a credit/debit card donation.

The main purpose of this class is to learn about fall prevention but it is a little more active than our Keep Your Balance course. In our first class, we move almost like we do in “Fall Prevention Exercise” class but were sitting on the chair whole times. We also discuss how to prevent falls. After a long period of “Stay Home”, muscles may have gotten weak, so this course works to re-establish strength

Keep Your Balance Keep Moving Zoom Class
Dates: Mondays and Wednesdays 12:30pm-1:30pm (B Block)
Wednesdays and Fridays 9:00am-11:00am (A Block)
Class resumes January 25th

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among older adults. The good news is that falling is not an inevitable part of the aging process. Middle-aged and older adults can reduce their risk of falling by knowing their fall risk factors. In this class you will learn the risk factors of falling so that you will be able to decrease fear of falling and the risk of falling. We focus especially on the topic of the importance of regular exercise, what kind of exercise can improve a person’s balance, and how to start being active if you never have in the past. Anybody will benefit from this class, including family members of seniors.
Please note class is progressive and cannot be dropped in mid-course. Limit 8.
