Penn Asian Senior Services' Board of Directors met on Wednesday, February 20th.  Home care clients and

seniors at our adult day care (PAJC) continue to grow.  The new Penn Asian Evergreen Center will be opening

On SEPT 29th, PASSi had over 250 people come to its 2nd Annual Autumn Festival.  There were diverse Asian cultural performances and food items included Indonesian, Filipino, Korean and Chinese.  We hope to grow the festival every year and use the Autumn Festival as way to bring the local community together for this wonderful cultural celebration of thanksgiving!  Thank you everyone who helped make this event a huge success! 

The National Federation of Filipino American Associations Pennsylvania Chapter held its State Conference at PASSi on Saturday, June 21st.  The theme was "Tayo Na! Emerging Challenges and Opportunities in the Filipino American Community"  There were panels on "Small Business" as well as "Health & Aging."  PASSi CEO Imja Choi gave welcoming remarks.  

PASSi's Vocational ESL graduated 11 students who gave brief presentations about themselves and then received certificates.  Classes are taught by Penn State ESL teachers.  This program is designed to help build their English proficiency so that they can prepare for jobs in the healthcare field.

Penn Asian Senior Services christens two new wheelchair accessible vans with support from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation!

The two new vans will provide much needed transportation to seniors from PASSi’s adult day care program, Penn Asian Jubilee Center.  Seniors served through Penn Asian Jubilee Center are low-income, primarily English-limited Asian Americans residing in Greater Philadelphia.  Language barriers inhibit these seniors from utilizing public transit services including CCT Connect. 

Our PASSi VESL students recently completed their  2 week computer lab sessions at the Penn State Abington campus.
