Pacifica Tribune/Jean Bartlett, Features Correspondent, 10/13/15.  " 'Seniors Matters' defines Senior Services."

Center of Senior Power,
.... and for Senior empowerment.

New tagline and logo

"In the recent Pacific Coast Fog Fest Discover Pacifica Parade, Pacifica Senior Services (PSS), celebrating their 40th anniversary, was an Honorary Grand Marshal. It was at the parade that PSS formally introduced their new tagline – 'Seniors Matter.'"

.... 'Seniors don’t just matter to us here at the Senior Center but to our community,' Jim Lange (Senior Services Supervisor) said. 'In our community, seniors volunteer at the schools through Pacifica School Volunteers, they volunteer at the library, they volunteer with the Pacifica Historical Society and that’s just the short list.'

'Our statement ‘Seniors Matter’ is a broad statement,' Lange went on to say. “I think Pacifica exemplifies it because we take advantage of what our seniors can do. We do provide programs for our seniors but seniors in turn are an extraordinary resource for us all.' "  Read article.
