SASi hosting open house

SANDPOINT — On Thursday, Oct. 26, Sandpoint Area Seniors, Inc., will be hosting an open house to thank the many donors who over the past years have supported the center.

Over the years, SASi Executive Director Ellen Weissman said the community has generously donated money, items to its equipment loan program, auction items, food, anything that can help the seniors here and in the community. Thursday, they are taking a moment to say thank you. In particular, they are inviting the 101 Women and Community Assistance League who gave SASi the funds to pay for needed repairs and for our meals program.

“These two wonderful groups, along with individuals, the Equinox Foundation and our bingo fund, have made it possible to repair the kitchen heating and cooling system, upgrade the fire suppression system, which was close to being red-tagged, replacing a worn and tired countertop, pave the first bay in the garage and purchase a backup generator,” she said.

Starting at 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., SASi will be open to welcome anybody who has donated to the many different programs we have here including its wonderful $5/month club members. There will be refreshments, and both the Senior and DayBreak centers will be open to tour.
