 Our sell-out A New Era in Bloom gala raised over $10,000 for the Building Expansion Fund. If you didn't make it to the A New Era in Bloom Gala and Fundraiser on March 14, you missed one of the best events we've ever held at Foothills Community Center! A FANTASTIC gourmet meal prepare by Chef William from Wenatchee Memory Care; dozens of great items in our silent auction; live entertainment by Felix & Fingers, who braved Snoqualmie Pass to perform at our event. All of our guests from across the generations had a great time. While we're still tallying up the totals, we believe we raised over $10,000 towards the Building Expansion Fund. Here's a photo gallery from the event:  With excitement building around this extraordinary evening, we’d like to offer a glimpse into what awaits our guests — and why securing your place now is essential.
On Saturday, March 14th, 2026, the Foothills Community Center Social Hall will be transformed into a breathtaking regency-floral wonderland. Every detail of the space will reflect the sophistication and grandeur of a high-end gala experience. In honor of the occasion, guests are requested to attend in gala or formal evening attire, adding to the immersive elegance of the night.  By Erin Cass, FCC Board Member and Expansion Campaign Co-Coordinator As we welcome a new year, I’m filled with gratitude for the support that has carried our Building Expansion Campaign to this point. Every dollar raised is dedicated to creating a larger, more accessible Foothills Community Center — one that can better serve and connect people across our region

Like most people, I tend to do the majority of my financial giving during the holidays. And as a techie person, I almost always do it online.  WENATCHEE — The Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the Wenatchee Valley Medical Group in support of the capital improvement project to expand and renovate the Senior Center facility.
Presented to the WVSAC Board of Directors by Jim Tarbert, Board Member and Expansion Committee Chair  Many communities in Arizona, recognizing the need to become more inclusive, have built multi-generational centers in lieu of senior centers. While there are still plenty of programs for seniors, there are also opportunities for younger generations, as well as activities to encourage interaction between younger and older groups. Photo credit: City of Tempe. Please note: The following was presented to the Senior Center Board of Directors on May 19. It is for discussion purposes only. No decisions have been made. We did not secure a grant from the 2025 State Capital Budget, despite having been told we would qualify. To find out why, we are meeting with advisors — including Rep. Mike Steele, on June 10.
 Members of the Ping Pong Group patiently await the day when they can return to the Senior Center. Many of the members have been part of the group for years, including Mary Jinneman (second from left), who started the group at the Senior Center.

Director of Communications & Development The Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center Ping Pong Group lives on at the Eastmont Community Center while they wait… and wait… for our building expansion project to be completed. Together, board members have now contributed $60,000 toward the project fund.  Senior center local dignitaries participate in a groundbreaking ceremony for the building expansion last May. Pictured are Dave Tosch, Bonita McClean, Steve Wilkenson, Mike Poirier and Jim Tarbert. The 10 members of the Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center Board of Directors are leading by example to support the center’s capital improvement project.
 Teri Ayala presents Mark Blakeslee with the gift basket he won in East Wenatchee Senior Living’s drawing. We'd like to thank East Wenatchee Senior Living and Colonial Vista Senior Living for their continued sponsorship of our Western Day lunch. They have been supporting our lunch program for over five years by paying for the food we provide (roast beef with all the fixings) and in exchange, we allow them to set up a booth to talk to our lunch attendees. They also volunteer and help us serve lunch to the tables. This lunch is hugely popular and usually sells out in advance.
WENATCHEE -- The Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center is pleased to announce it has received a grant for $23,000 from the Legacy Funds Grant program managed by the Community Foundation of NCW (CFNCW).
