Executive Director’s Message
Thank you all that attended and supported the Stillaguamish Senior Center’s Ninth Annual “Lifetime Achievement Fundraising Breakfast”. It was a privilege to honor and recognize Ruth Munizza for her many years of
service to her community.
Ruth Porter was born in Port Townsend, the seventh of thirteen children of Jennie and William Porter. She
grew up on a family farm in Port Ludlow where food was raised to feed the large family. Her father was not a
farmer, but worked for a lumber company.
The Porter children attended Chimacum School on the Olympic Peninsula, which housed grades 1-12. After high school, Ruth attended the University of Washington where she earned her degree in Physical Education. Eleven of her siblings also received college degrees.
When Ruth moved to Arlington in 1948 to teach girls physical education, she had already developed a passion for education, athletics, and of course, her soon to be husband Larry Munizza, a coach at Arlington High
School, whom she married in 1950. The couple raised four children, all girls: Dawn, Kim, Toni and Jenny.
All four attended Arlington High School and went on to earn college degrees.
Her love for the community of Arlington began 66 years ago, when she began her new teaching position at
Arlington High School. She was a popular teacher, always showing you “where to look”, not “what to see”.
She had not been in Arlington teaching more than three months when the girls in her class asked her to be their
Camp Fire Leader.
Her continuing leadership in the Camp Fire program saw her teach and inspire 5 different groups of girls
over a period of 28 years, until 1976. Through her leadership and accomplishments in the program, she was
the recipient of the Luther Halsey Gulick Camp Fire Award, the highest award given by Campfire to a volunteer.
Ruth was a prominent member of the Lady Lions Club in Arlington, twice presiding as President of the
club, serving with enthusiasm and purpose. Projects in which she participated include selling bonds for a new
hospital in Arlington, fireworks stand, selling pies and working the rest area. Since its merger with the Lions
Club, she has continued as an active Arlington Lions Club member.
In addition, Ruth has given of her talent and love for music and dance to other Arlington organizations including the Arlington United Church, where, as a member since 1960, she taught Sunday school and since
1975 served as pianist and choir director. She also volunteered as a pianist for a weekly service at the Arlington Manor and organized, taught and called square dancing at Lake Goodwin Community Club.
One of the most significant impacts Ruth was able to make for the community of Arlington and the surrounding area were her years teaching preschool which started with 2 classes of 12 students each in 1963. She
served as the head of the Arlington Co-operative Preschool for four of those years. The school was so successful that there was a waiting list and the school continued to flourish for 37 years until her retirement in
2000. More than 2000 children found friends and learned life skills including independence, cooperation and
confidence through Ruth’s dedication, excitement and passion for teaching of young minds.
For all of the above, and more, the Stillaguamish Senior Center was pleased to present its Lifetime
Achievement Award to Ruth Munizza.
Sincerely, Jo Olson Executive Director

INSTRUCTION FROM DJ WINEBRINNER
Program Administrator
Joy through movement- Justin Stone, Originator
Climb the Joyous Mountain: Living the Meditative
T’ai Chi Chih is a gentle discipline based on ancient principles capable of bringing peace and serenity to
those practicing regularly. T’ai Chi Chih consists of 19 movements and 1 posture which circulate and balance Chi. These gentle movements form a moving mediation and an exercise of great efficiency—exercising
the inner organs and promoting healing—but eventually it goes beyond these and permeates the life-style of
the practitioner. We do not all see the same world, which is a reflection of ourselves. With the accumulation
of Chi (Vital Force) through T’ai Chi Chih practice, permanent changes in the metabolism and the thinking
process take place and renewed energy conditions the whole way of life...Joy becomes our natural heritage.
Starting October 23rd. Eight week course of instruction in movement, then join our regular class at 9:30 am

Volunteerism
Do you want to add more meaning to your life, but are unsure of how to do so? Would you like to forget
about your troubles, if only temporarily, while you help someone else?
If you answer “yes” to these questions, becoming a volunteer may benefit you and your life.
Volunteering helps bolster self-esteem. When you help someone else, you feel better about yourself. Volunteering is a great way to meet like-minded, helpful people. Making new friends can become more difficult
as you grow older. When you participate in activities you enjoy, you meet people with whom you have something in common. Regardless of your age or physical limitation, you can become a volunteer. Becoming involved is one of the most rewarding ways to enrich your life. Get involved and become a volunteer at the
Stillaguamish Senior Center!!!!!
Volunteering is one way of giving back to your Senior Center. Volunteers are the heart of the Center and
we can always use more heart, so if you are interested in volunteering , contact the Center (360) 653-4551
Ask for D. J.
and become a member of the volunteer team.
Thank you to all current volunteers!
You make it a great center for the community!
