SSAC STORIES
SSAC’s 40th Year
As we celebrate the SSAC's 40th year as a society, we are hoping for your help in shaping the future of our Centre.
Kindness Matters
When we choose kindness, our brains light up with oxytocin, dopamine and CONNECTION (something we love to celebrate here at the Centre), confirming that kindness is not just good for the world, it’s good for us!
Call for Nominations
Our Board is transitioning from an operational Board to a governance Board and we are looking for new Board Members!
50/50 BC Seniors Up and Running!
In addition to the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre, we have been joined by four partner seniors’ centres from around the province: Campbell River, Gibsons, Mackenzie and Oliver.
One Year!
It has been quite a year, and I just wanted to take a moment to mention a few of my personal highlights.
What A Party!
The Big Easy Funk Ensemble had the dance floor packed in our first ever afternoon dance!
SSAC Endowment Fund
In order to achieve sustainable financial stability, we have established a SSAC Endowment Fund that will generate revenue from interest accrued each year. This fund is to be administered by the Sunshine Coast Foundation.
Affordable Lunch Program
The aim of the Affordable Lunch donation program is to avoid increases in the price of our entrées, and keep it fixed currently at either $10 or $12. Every member deserves a great affordable meal in the wonderful environment of the Centre.
General Revenue Donations
Gifts to general revenue are particularly vital to enable us to deal with large, unexpected costs. You can donate to us at the front desk by cash, cheque, credit or debit card. You can also download and print the form and mail it to the Centre with your cheque.
