2026…. here we go! The beginning of a new year is an opportune time to reflect on the joys and challenges of theprevious year, while renewing belief and optimism in the year ahead. We hope you had an enjoyable holiday season connecting with family and friends (old and new) whether in person or electronically. Speaking of change, 2025 was the first year that I received more holiday sentiments by text or email than the ‘old fashioned’greeting cards. I’m not sure how I feel about that how about you? Well, times are changing so I better get used to it and just appreciate the thought behind it.

​

After reflecting upon members’ input, last year’s accomplishments, and areas needing moreattention, MSA’s Board is gearing up in continuing to fulfill our association’s purpose which is…to enhance the quality of life for senior citizens (55+) of the greater Mukilteo community. Thus, your involvement is very much needed and appreciated, along with support from local businesses, community leaders and organizations. Collectively, we can all have a positive impact on the lives of seniors in our community.

​

Our December luncheon was absolutely spectacular! It was a wet and windy day yet we had a record number of participants - 86. The food was provided by our neighbors, Ivar’s Mukilteo Landing and they were very generous with the delicious and generous portions provided. And, to top it off on this festive occasion, we had the Kamiak Midknights chorus who provided incredible performances of holiday classics. The perfect way to end the year together with warm hearts, full stomachs, and a twinkle in everyone’s eye! As we celebrated and were joyful for our blessings, we acknowledged our fellow residents who have been impacted by the devastating flooding in our area. We continue to think of their continued safety and well being as we consider ways of providing support. I almost forgot to mention, David Pan from the Beacon also attended and will be providing coverage of our December luncheon along with other pertinent information regarding Mukilteo Senior Association. Look for this article in an upcoming issue of the Mukilteo Beacon. Thank you, David!

 

Please consider one of your New Year’s resolutions to be - making Mukilteo a better place to live for all its
residents. Just wearing your beautiful smile will go a long way. Remember, MSA is located in Rosehill Community Center where a variety of programs are offered for all age levels. Hope to see you there!
Thought for the day: Today is the first day of the rest of 2026!

Wishing you well,
