Goodlander a friend to seniors

The Spokesman-Review

The Coeur d’Alene Senior Center serves many functions. Most obviously it provides meals and activities for our senior citizens. It is also the facility used for dinners, weddings and various types of gatherings by other citizens. We are proud that our facility can be used every day.

To keep track of the affairs of the center we have a board. Deanna Goodlander sits on that board, helping to guide the use and activities of our senior center. She also is a diligent laborer. This spring she was on her hands and knees reupholstering chairs.

We need to keep Deanna with her hard work ethic, compassion for seniors and general concern for our citizens on the City Council. She represents the senior citizens of Coeur d’Alene well.
