Ms. Bush was recognized through a statewide nominating process. Congratulations and many thanks to Ernestyne Bush, said Chief Executive Officer Robert J. Groves. Her dedication, enthusiasm and donation of time are a shining example of how one individual can make a tremendous difference to our organization. Ms. Bush has been an active member and volunteer of Philadelphia Senior Center since She has been on the Advisory Council for eight years, serving as president for six. Under her leadership, the council funded the installation of new lighting in program areas, and automatic flushing toilets in the bathrooms. In January of 2007, she was elected to the board of directors. Additionally, she serves on the development, the Coffee Cup Exhibition, and the bazaar committees. She also facilitates one of PSC s largest and oldest classes. Through her volunteer efforts, Ms. Bush has raised thousands of dollars for capital improvements and general operations. She can be found sitting in the lobby greeting the members as they walk through PSC s doors, organizing a bus trip for her peers, or working tirelessly on behalf of her senior center. Ms. Bush donated 700+ hours of community service to PSC in the last year, and 2,000+ hours since The Award recognizes an individual or organization that has, through direct involvement, made a positive impact on a senior center. As part of the award, Ms. Bush received a $200 cash prize that she designated to PSC.

This past October, PSC s Board of Directors adopted a new strategic plan to guide our future. Once again ideas, plans and programs this time to meet the needs of a new century and the explosion of the older adult population. Did you know that in Philadelphia there is only one population group expected grow between now and 2015? That group is adults age 55 and older. All other age groups are expected to decrease in size.

Our Mission: To advance the well being and personal growth of all persons age 55 and older in Greater Philadelphia by providing services and resources so that they might learn, grow and discover new ways of being actively involved in living. In other words, we intend to be the go to organization for anyone seniors and their families, professional staff, board members, funders who want to be on cutting of edge of life enrichment for older adults. We will be introducing some new programs while always working to maintain and improve our current activities. In 2008, look for some new initiatives such as an expansion of volunteer opportunities through the Ready to Serve community service program. Stay tuned for more details. I want to thank all who generously gave financial or volunteer support through our recent annual Friends Campaign or in any other ways such as the great bazaar we had in December and the terrific holiday events of All of our events and fundraisers of any kind work toward the same goals the security and improvement of PSC.
