Interested in learning more about elder-friendly communities?

What would such a group look like in Enumclaw? The Plateau? Come join the discussion!

Thursday, March 22 at 6 p.m. at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Rainier Room

An Elder-Friendly Community is a community which

values the varied experiences of our aging neighbors
Respects their abilities
Welcomes their involvement
Desires their insight
Meets their changing needs with a wide range of services
Seeks their wisdom as a group and as individuals
Respects their wishes to continue living in the community of their choice

Questions? Jobyna Nickum, Enumclaw Senior Activity Center, jnickum@ci.enumclaw.wa.us (360) 825-4741

Hi, Susan and Lou. We do know that our events calendar has issues at the moment with incorrect times…Read More displaying, and our engineering team is at work to correct this. My best suggestion at the moment is to post a comment on an event with the correct time, if you aren't able to go in and edit an event that you previously posted. Our ownership has not changed -- we have been and continue to be a part of the AOL family. Our intent with the new design is to highlight the great content that our users create and share with the community. We know there have been some bumps with our launch and are working diligently to fix them. We hope you'll be patient with us and continue to share on Patch.

Always looking for a local nature trail, I really enjoy reading Mary Janosik's well written blog. In…Read More fact, almost all the dedicated bloggers posting on the Enumclaw PATCH have something worthwhile reading. But it is not an easy job for most of us, taking some time to research and write, without any compensation. Our only reward is knowing we are being read and appreciated and the only way we know that is when you comment. In my opinion, most of the PATCH blogs are a community service, informing residents about our community and issues concerning you, our readers. So please send your favorite bloggers a thank you or a comment once in awhile to keep us motivated and feel appreciated..
