Seniors Wanted For Civic Engagement Project! The Greenwood SAGE Project is a group of Seniors, Active, Giving, and Engaged in their community. The goal of this project is to have seniors work together to address important local and global issues by utilizing the wisdom, judgment, and experience of seniors to serve directly in the community. We’re trying something new! The S.A.G.E Project is focusing more on long-term and reoccurring action projects and collaborating with other organizations to hold discussions on pertinent issues occurring in our community. Please see below information on all the civic engagement opportunities at the center, including but not limited to SAGE Project updates. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Emily at the GSC: (206) 297-0875 or emily@greenwoodseniorcenter.org. S.A.G.E Projects A list of S.A.G.E.’s current projects are listed below. Join us on the third Tuesday of the month from 2-3pm to organize, strengthen, and develop our projects. Local Giving Fair! The SAGE project will be holding a Local Giving Fair on Saturday, November 13, from 10am-4pm at the Greenwood Senior Center. Our Local Giving Fair will be similar to the Alternative Gift Markets of the last two years in concept, but will host organizations that address social justice, environmental, and human rights issues in the Seattle area. See “Holidays” article, this issue, for more information. We need volunteers to help in
planning, publicity, and on the day of the event. If you are interested, please
contact Emily: (206) 297-0875/emily@greenwoodseniorcenter.org. The S.A.G.E. Garden Planted in the Spring of this year, we have already reaped the delicious benefits from the organic vegetable garden, consisting of 5 raised beds behind the building next door. If you are interested in volunteering at the garden, whether it be helping with planting, harvesting, watering, and/or maintenance, we could use your help. Contact Emily at the GSC for more information (see above for contact details). The Aurora Corridor The S.A.G.E. project hopes to continue strengthening our connection with our neighbors living and working on Aurora Avenue. If you are interested in helping out on this project, contact Emily (see above for contact details) to find out about details. |
