Please Read: Coronavirus Update

Due to the unpredictability of the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our area, the TSNW Board of Directors and our office staff have been working together to make decisions that will best protect all of our members, many of whom are immunocompromised. On March 4, 2020, public health officials made new recommendations that “people age 60 and over” and “people who have weakened immune systems” should stay home and away from groups. Therefore, we have made the following changes:

ALL Weekly Programs are Temporarily Suspended. All Active Women/Healthy Women classes, TSNW walking groups & Survivor SAKE dragon boating practices are cancelled until risks are lowered. We will keep monitoring the guidelines from the Public Health department of King County.
March 25th Annual Member Meeting Cancelled. Rather than risk a meeting where we gather lots of members together, please look for a written Annual Report, summarizing the same topics.

As an organization that exists to bring women back to their best possible health, we appreciate your support as we exercise caution to avoid any potential risk to the health of our members.

If you have specific questions, please call our office at 206-732-8350 or email executivedirector@teamsurvivornw.org. We hope to see you all again as soon as we are able to resume our programs. In the meantime, stay active and healthy!

EFFORT Meter
