Many of us received our Covid vaccinations through the work of the Southeast Seattle Senior Center with the City of Seattle. In addition, the Club has donated $5,000 to the Center for an elevator project.
Lynda Greene is the Executive Director of the Southeast Seattle Senior Center.
For over 51 years, Southeast Seattle Senior Center, fondly known as SESSC, located in the Rainier Valley, has been a neighborhood activity center that addresses the social, educational, and health needs of aging adults and the community at large. Over 600 seniors living on Beacon Hill, Skyway, Rainier Valley, Renton and the Central Area are active participants at the Center. Activities are designed to include all physical stages of aging such as exercise programs, computer classes, weaving and quilting classes, card clubs, line dance classes, Spanish classes, recreational trips, and much more.
She has over four years experience heading up the Resource Development Department at a non profit organization in Seattle. Prior to that, she worked in the hospitality industry as Senior Sales Manager and finally as director of Sales at a boutique hotel.
She left the hospitality industry because she felt a strong pull toward the mission oriented work of the non-profit sector. Lynda continues to impress with her people skills, confidence, warmth and cultural competency. She is often described as the go to person, grounded, unflappable and skilled at building teams with volunteers and staff to pull off projects of all kinds.
