Rebekah Greenwood is the Senior Social Center’s newest addition to the team as our Executive Director. She has a heart for the community and the people in it. Rebekah has spent the last 30 years investing into Northwestern Colorado through her work life, as a mother and friend to the community. During that time she has owned and operated her own businesses, served as a deputy sheriff and spent almost 15 years helping local residents, businesses and visitors at the Craig Chamber of Commerce to accomplish their goals. Having seen the community grow and change she recognizes the value of our seniors in shaping our communities. As well as the individuals that worked to create the Senior Social Center to enhance the quality of life for our senior citizens. She knows the importance of keeping people aging well through socialization, exercise, creativity and education.

“I feel very blessed to have this opportunity to make a difference in our community. What a lucky position to be in to help bring joy to others and receive joy in return”, Rebekah states.

Someone told Jackie in 2014 that she should attend a meeting up at the Bell Tower about starting a place where seniors could gather for games, conversation and exercise. She has pretty much been involved with Senior Social Center ever since. Jackie Camp, our SSC Office Assistant has lived in Craig since 1962, except for 18 years in Seattle. She has been back since 2013. It wasn’t long after that she became involved with the SSC.

The Movers and Shakers found a place for her and she became the Center Coordinator for a time. We are lucky to have her back. “I love working with the seniors, of which I am one. There have been several changes in leadership, personnel and location. However, even with Covid-19 we are still here. Please let us know how you are doing, if you have items for the newsletter or know someone who needs a card or flowers”, Jackie stated.

Stay active and connected. We are just a phone call away. 970-326-3188

I’ve been interested in Seniors and Senior issues in the valley for some time. I started back with Cathy Vanatta at the Legion hall with the Wellness Wednesday program. From there I took on being an instructor for the Living Well series, an evidence based program out of Stanford University. I earned a Master Trainer Certification, traveled the state for about nine years then jumped on the SSC board about 3 1/2 years ago. I love what I do here and have known a lot of these people for 30+ years. We have a great team on the board of directors and I'm glad to be part of the leadership of SSC.

I came to Craig as a carpenter to work on building the powerplants and then stayed to work at the Craig station for 37 years. After I retired, I started doing volunteer work in many different ways and for multiple orgainzations. I have driven the Senior bus, delivered Meals on Wheels, I am a board member of Love INC., and the Hope Pregnancy Center. I went on all five Western Slope Honor Flights, as a guardian, taking WWII Veterans to see their memorial in Washington DC. I love people of all ages, but work best with adults. I work with the SSC to help me stay busy and healthy. I think the SSC is a great organization and look forward to helping it grow.
