A Short History of Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center Shoreline-Lake forest Park Senior Center officially began on March 17, 1975. It was organized under the sponsorship of a Shoreline Community College staff member. The Senior Center was organized with the help of a small group of interested community members. The first site was in a building at Fircrest School where the center had an auditorium and a kitchen. Sharon Fink was selected as the first director. She stayed until 1982 when she became Director of the Kirkland Senior Center. As the Senior Center grew in numbers of participants and range of activities, more space was needed. In 1978 they were able to move into the former Paramount Park Grade School at 155th and 8th NE, a building owned by the Shoreline School District. This building had 2 tenants in addition to the Senior Center: a Montessori School and the Northwest School for Hearing Impaired Children. Shoreline Community College became unable to continue its sponsorship and the Shoreline– Lake Forest Park Senior Center came under the umbrella of Senior Services of Seattle-King County in 1980. Robert Montgomery was the Center’s director from June 1982 to July 1983. Helen Bereiter became the Center’s third Director in September of 1983. By the end of that year the Center had registered about 1200 participants. The Center remained in the former Paramount Park location until February of 1990 when it moved into a larger building at the newly remodeled Shoreline Center. In April of 1997, Robert Lohmeyer started as the new director. The Center now serves over 3,000 seniors a year with programs that continue throughout the week. NOW, 40 Years later, the Senior Center is still strong with over 65 classes offered throughout each week, 26 services just for seniors and their families, a daily hot lunch program that serves 80-90 people each day, and has a thrift shop, the Bargain Corner, that earned over $40,000 in 2014. Celebratory plans will be created throughout the year...so stayed tuned and see what will be happening! Help us keep going for 40 more years! The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center is a nonprofit organization that relies upon donations from Individuals like you to stay open and thrive. Leaving a legacy gift is a great way to show your appreciation for the Center.

Pre-register at the Front Desk or call 206-365-1536 Please note: Class is not intended to replace your neurologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist or any other medical professional. Care Partners are welcome. Take Care of Your Brain! News breaks, nearly every day that might benefit people whose movement has become impaired. Weekly we will look at recent research findings from a fitness perspective. We will share our experiences and we will also learn physical activities to practice at home. What do people with Parkinsons (PD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), spinal cord Injury (SCI) or who have had a stroke all have in common? All find that movement has become impaired. Activities of everyday living can prove exhausting. This is because the signal from the brain to the muscles has changed. For example, muscles might be: Firing against one another (the muscles are told to push and pull at the same time) Receiving a weak signal from the brain (the nerve is pinched, laid bare or scarred and not conducting the signal well) Firing in a scrambled order (everything works inefficiently) Firing all at one time without rest (tremor, rigidity) Because of the way our brains are wired, we can sometimes bypass a damaged area and find a new and efficient way to move. Discussion and exercise group led by Lisa Stuebing, CPT, certified by both the National MS Society and the American Senior Fitness Association, Brain Fitness Project. She is a member of the International Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder Society. 14 COMING IN JANUARY (Rescheduled) EVENING CLASSES HAWAIIAN HULA: Mondays, 6:007:00PM.
