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 2009 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.
