We began a journey which will see the construction of a new senior/ community center on this extraordinary waterfront site. The new Center building will be owned by EdSC with a ground lease with the City who will maintain the Regional Park. We are just working through the legal details of this with the City and anticipate having an agreement in January. The City Council, Mayor Earling, and City staff have all been supportive partners in this effort. Key events during the year included the January 21 Special Membership Meeting which enthusiastically supported the project, the March 18 City Council unanimous Resolution 1313 endorsing the project and reaffirming this site as the permanent home of the senior center, and a joint unanimous County supporting resolution on June 4. On May 18 the Center’s Board of Directors unanimously endorses the goal of building a new senior/community center and establishes a Capital Campaign Committee with Rose Cantwell and Diane Buckshnis as co-chairs. That Committee is about All through the year the Strategic Planning Committee led by chair Steve Bernheim and vice chair Phil Lovell has provided guidance, wise counsel and direction to the process. They insisted on “due diligence” in two primary spheres – political and legal. They also stressed the relationship between design and program. As a result we have engaged legal counsel, had conceptual drawings done by two architectural firms, and worked with City and County Councils and State legislators. MILESTONES ACHIEVED IN 2014 2014 was the final year of our three year contract with Bastyr University to provide a natural medicine program at the senior center. We have agreed on a new contract going forward. This summer we began to offer a second shift on Wednesdays. The wait times for appointments has been dramatically reduced. Younger people are now starting to come as the program is available to all ages. We celebrated our relationship with Bastyr in an Open House on November 12. Special thanks to the Peg and Rick Young Foundation for their continuing support of the Bastyr Clinic. 2014 was also the third year of our partnership with the Verdant Health Commission funding the Enhance Wellness Program. Their funding has doubled for the next three years and has enabled us to offer the PEARLS Program for Depression in conjunction with the UW Health Promotion Research Center. Finally, this was the third year of hosting the South Snohomish County Cold Weather Shelter for the Homeless in conjunction with four local churches who provide groups of very dedicated volunteers who staff the Shelter.

You are invited to see the famed Vince Lombardi Trophy along with other interactive exhibits, and hear exclusive interviews with Seahawks players and leadership, including owner Paul Allen, Head Coach Pete Carroll, Executive Vice President and General Manager John Schneider, and more.

Library Presenter: Michelle Reitan, MSW and Carolyn Anderson, RN, Enhance Wellness program of the Edmonds Senior Center Sign up: at the Front Desk While most Americans say they would prefer to live through the end of their lives at home, surrounded by friends and family, the reality is the exact opposite. Studies show that when people age 65 and older plan in advance with their doctors they are much more satisfied about their preferences for care through the end of their lives. Learn how your values and beliefs can guide your personal choices regarding medical care, how to select the best person to speak for you in the event that you are unable to speak for yourself, what life sustaining treatments may be offered to you at the end of life and the pros and cons of each treatment and what forms you need to fill out and share with your doctor to document your choices.

FREE Fri, Jan 23, 1:00-3:00pm Library Presented by: Chelsea Rowe, AmeriCorps Community Preparedness Educator, American Red Cross Sign up: at the Front Desk A disaster is typically considered to be any event that overwhelms the capacity of 9-1-1 and emergency responders. So although emergency assistance will always be on the scene after a disaster, there’s no guarantee you will be able to get through to 9-1-1, and it’s improbable that they will be able to respond to everyone who needs their services. The better prepared we are as individuals, families, and at workplaces the more likely we are to survive during a disaster and allow emergency responders to help those in need. In this workshop you will learn how to get prepared, create a disaster plan, what is needed in an emergency supply kit along with other very useful information. Is Your House In Order?

Learn about the legal documents to have in place while alive and at the time death occurs, learn common misconceptions and misinformation, how to protect family wealth, pros and cons of life and funeral insurance and more.
