Senior Opportunities in Washington State

Maybe you like politics and would like to get involved in the Washington State Senior Citizen's Lobby. There are certainly lots of areas in which to get involved. Learn more at http://www.waseniorlobby.org/DesktopDefa... .

If you live in Clark County, here's a resource for volunteering: http://www.ci.vancouver.wa.us/chservices... .

If you just want to get information on other things available to seniors in Washington, Senior Resource is a good link: http://www.seniorresource.com/wa.htm . I just signed up for their E-zine, as I like to be up on senior issues. Check it out. This site is not just for Washington State, either.

Here's an excellent Senior Services link: http://www.seniorservices.org/ - it's Senior Services of Washington, the largest non-profit agency serving older people in Washington. There's a community breakfast coming up at the Sheraton Hotel in Seattle; the information is at this link. There are volunteer and career links at this site, along with housing options, etc.

Perhaps you'd like to spend your time learning about your family history. Here's the link for the Washington State Genealogical Society: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wasgs/wsgssocs.... .

Maybe you're more of a quiet individual and just like to read. The King County library system is amazing in its depth. They even have a traveling library center for those who can't get out: http://www.kcls.org/tlc/links.cfm .

Here's a senior Seattle Jewish activity site by the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle: http://www.jewishinseattle.org/JF/Resour... .

Maybe you'd like to get back into the job scene; here's the link to senior jobs with the City of Seattle: http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/humanservice... . It's a good place to start.

Well, I've touched on a few links for seniors in Washington State. There are just too many to list. I'll stop here or I'll be forced to write a book! You might want to visit or call your local senior center for more information.

Let me know if you want access to more senior sites here and I'll write more on this topic later.

Hope this helps.
