Valentine Day’s was fun at WASI, seniors dressed up in red and were showered with Valentine cards, candy and homemade cookies. We had several groups that decided to share this special day with seniors both at the senior center and with those that are homebound. Coralee Wade decided to share the love with seniors as a tribute to her GG (great grandma), she was very close to her and misses her. Coralee is 8 years old, and she recruited her friends at Frontera school to help her make 200 Valentine cards. Everyone enjoyed visiting with Coralee and her mom, Leticia. Coralee is Miss Alaska Sr. Elementary and she will be competing in the EJHC, in June and will be representing Alaska at the national competition.
Marlene Munsell, Assistant Executive Director said: the place was filled with so many smiling faces, seniors enjoyed receiving treats but best of all enjoyed being able to visit with everyone. Wasilla Area Seniors, Inc. serves lunch M-F 11:30 to 12:30 and continues to provide activities for seniors, the next activity is: Paint Your Heart Out! Saturday, February 19th from 10 a.m. to 1, five volunteer artists will be teaching the classes. If you know someone who would love to participate you can register on the WASI website, wasillaseniors.com or contact marlenem@alaskaseniors.com, there is a cost of $25.
