||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Along with senior centers on Lopez and San Juan Islands, the Orcas Senior Center is operated as a geographic “district” of an umbrella non-profit called the Senior Services Council of San Juan County (SSCSJC). The operational arm for the Orcas Senior Center is the Orcas District Committee (ODC).
From June 21 to July 2, we will be holding elections for the ODC, and we are seeking candidates interesting in serving on this committee. The responsibilities of the ODC include representing the needs and interests of seniors over the age of 60 and persons with disabilities in the Orcas District, managing the facilities of the Orcas Senior Center, working with partners to provide a range of programs and services, administering funds raised on behalf of the center, and fiscal and management oversight of the center and its operations.
If you are interested in joining a highly relevant and engaged group of dedicated individuals who are committed to increasing and improving services to seniors and persons with disabilities, please consider submitting a brief biographical statement (100 words max) to Lena Kassa at lena@orcasseniors.org or PO Box 1653, Eastsound, WA, 98245 by 2 p.m. on June 7.
Meanwhile, read more about Orcas Senior Center and check for updates on the election process on our website: orcasseniors.org.
