On behalf of the Sandpoint Area Senior Center, I would like you to publish this letter, asking for community support of the senior center. We recently sent out a small mailing, having no money for a larger mailing, so we are only reaching a few people in the community. In our mailer, we said: “We all love to support puppies and children, especially at this time of year. While they may not be as cute and adorable as puppies and children. but … our seniors need your support.”

The senior center provides home delivered meals and in-house meals five days a week, serving over 25,000 meals in a year. It is a meeting place in the community, allowing seniors and newcomers to meet old and make new friends while participating in the variety of activities provided.

The DayBreak Center provides day care and support for families of those with memory issues. Come to the Sandpiont Senior Center and DayBreak to see for yourselves. Come enjoy all the activities we offer.

We cannot continue to provide all these services without the help of the Sandpoint community. We are asking that you not forget the seniors. We need your help. If you can help, send checks to Sandpoint Senior Center, 820 Main, Sandpoint 83864 or call 208-263-6860 to use a credit card.

Sincerely and with holiday wishes to all,
