Newsletter and Calendar
What’s New and Happening
Bar Stories Legacy Project brings storytelling to life, hosted by Jesi Vega on July 8, at 10:00 a.m. You are welcome to prepare a story or you can wait to be inspired and tell a story. It’s meant to be a conversation between the storytellers and the stories themselves. Each story captures authentic, real-life moments—hilarious, dramatic, or touching—shared in a conversational style. After each tale, the audience engages in a brief Q&A. The only rule is kindness and respect.
As a bonus, every storyteller receives a free professional recording of their performance.
Pull up a chair and share your story—it’s waiting to be told!
Tuesday, July 8, 10-noon. Come tell your favorite story or just come and listen.
Please register to attend.

Thank You
Elder law attorney Liz Johnson has been a longtime presenter on many topics at the Point Defiance~Ruston Senior Center. We would like to thank her for the generosity of her time and knowledge. Her practice specializes in estate planning, healthcare directives, Medicare planning, wills, probates, Medicaid appeals, trusts, powers-of-attorney, guardianships, and conservatorships.
She will be joining us again on Tuesday, July 22, at 11 a.m. The topic is Alternatives to Probate.
A Look Ahead…..
Social Groups
Many seniors spend time alone, and some of the worst times are in the evening and/or the weekend. With that in mind, the Senior Center will start offering social groups three times a month starting in August.
The first group is called “The Breakfast Club” and starts on Saturday, August 9 at 10:00 a.m. It will be hosted by Kate Gray and the first one will be at Clubhouse on 6th Avenue.
The second group is the “Prime Time Hop” and starts on Thursday, August 14 at 3:30 p.m. It will be hosted by Ron Yaden and the first one will be at Peaks and Pints.
The third group is a “Dinner Club” and will be hosted by Chris Johns at 5pm on a Tuesday (we do not have the 1st date or the location of the dinner club yet.)
We do ask that you sign up for the groups you plan on attending so that restaurant reservations can be made. You are still welcome to join in the fun at the last minute! Meet at the location. Each person is responsible for paying their own bill.
