Hello all SSAC community members! The Communications Committee has been re-activated and meeting monthly since October 2022.
Our members are: Cathy Kiss, Viktor Kiss, Eric Kristiansen, Toni Bolton, Gillian Smith. We have been busy fulfilling one of our key responsibilities, the production of our monthly Seashell Echo Newsletter. The Echo is a great way of communicating regularly and connecting with members and keeping you informed of all things and people related to SSAC.
We are striving to do our best to include articles and submissions that are important and interesting to you. That means keeping our regular features such as, Centre Updates, Presidents Report, posts, photos of members at activities and events at the Centre, Activity and Menu calendars, In Memoriam, Bus trips, Volunteer recognition.
As part of effective communication at SSAC, we also really want to hear from our members. We encourage you to submit articles and/or photos for possible publication in the Echo, and to give feedback about the content. You can send it to and the submission will be forwarded to the Communications Committee.
There are now some other ways for members to participate in SSAC communications: The Suggestion Box will be coming ‘out of the box’ and become a Suggestion Board. Post your suggestions on the Board and check for responses or action plans. E.g. There was a suggestion by a member attending at lunchtime to put up a hook for canes.
A few days later, a hook was installed beside the lunch counter.
A new initiative for Members and SSAC participants is the Gratitude Board. Starting in January 2023, there will be Gratitude Boards posted in 3 different areas of the Centre. There will be sticky Post It notes for people to write and share their expression of gratitude.
