Senior Action Network

The Senior Action Network consists of Thurston, Mason, and Lewis Counties businesses dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors through business development and services. SAN members meet monthly for educational speakers, networking opportunities and senior community service. SAN sponsors several events including Annual Caregiver's Recognition Dinner, Yard Clean-up, Seniors in the Park and more.

Outstanding Caregivers Honored at Banquet and Auction

The Senior Action Network (SAN) held its 9th annual Caregiver Recognition Dinner on November 5, 2009. For many seniors, and their families, the caregiver is often an unsung hero. Seniors can be dependent upon these Heroes for contributing to the completion of their daily activities and the quality of their lives.

57 nominations were submitted by the area's Adult Family Homes, Residential Care Facilities, and private homes extolling the qualities of caring and dedicated providers. Both paid and unpaid caregivers will be honored. The following were recognized as outstanding in their service category:

Volunteer:
Caroline Hall, Panorama City

Family:
Patricia Berets
Ronald L. Lawson

In-Home:
Nichole Daigneault
Barbara Damron
Larry Levitt, CCS

Facility:
Tracy FreeLand, Olympics West retirement Inn
Jenifer Merz, Olympics West Retirement Inn
Sharon Pileggi, The Hamptons Alzheimer's Special Care Center
Margaret Jean Peters, Olympics West Retirement Inn
Chris Washington, Garden Courte Memory Care Community

Adult Family Home:
Bella Glenn, Riedel Adult Family Home
Connie Smith, Connie Smith

Community:
Carol Shawver, Olympics West Retirement Inn

“We are pleased to present this premier event," continues Lounsbury, "which honors all caregivers on behalf of the families and the facilities or homes they serve."

SAN Outgrows Meeting Space

We've outgrown our meeting space at the Area Agency on Aging thanks to the increasing membership! Beginning with the December breakfast meeting, SAN will be meeting at the Olympia Community / Senior Center in downtown Olympia. Parking during the early morning is rarely a problem, so don't let that stop you! In the meantime, we welcome you to our regularly scheduled meetings held at the Area Agency on Aging on Mud Bay Road.
