A Newsletter for Members and Friends of
Wallingford Community Senior Center OCTOBER, NOVEMBER,
DECEMBER 2019
Wallingford Community Senior Center was founded in November of 1979 and has been serving north Seattle
seniors ever since. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary with a party for our members and participants on
Friday, November 22 following the Thanksgiving Friendship Luncheon and the Annual Membership Meeting—
we hope you will join us! See the back page for details. We are also launching a “40 Years of Caring”
campaign to raise $40,000 to celebrate and support the exciting work we are doing—like expanding lunch to
5 days per week! Please contribute if you can and encourage your friends and family to do so as well. For 40
years, through challenges, changes, and transitions, WCSC’s devotion to welcoming, connecting, and support-
ing older adults has remained steady, and will continue to do so.
In addition to the organization’s ruby anniversary, this fall ushers in opportunities in the form of transitions,
support, and partnerships. Claire Petersky will be moving on to a new position after serving as WCSC’s
Executive Director for the past 3 years. We are sad to see her go, but please join us in thanking her for her
many accomplishments and wishing her well in her next chapter! Longtime WCSC employee Ashley Larson
will be stepping in as Acting Executive Director. See page 3 for a farewell message from Claire.
We are pleased to announce that WCSC has received King County funding through the Veterans, Seniors,
and Human Services Levy as part of a North Seattle Hub along with Lake City-Northgate Senior Center
Project and United Indians of All Tribes Foundation’s
Native Elders Program. We can’t wait to share
expertise, resources, and strategies with
our new partners to improve our
collective programs, services,
outreach, and advocacy.
We are excited to explore these
new opportunities, celebrate 40 years of serving north
Seattle’s seniors, and keep
up our momentum,
continuing to expand our
impact in the future.
Here’s to 40 more!
Best,
Mary Heim
WCSC Board President
To celebrate 40 years of serving
seniors, we’re throwing it back to 1979!
