From a recent WACCRA email.
We are thrilled to announce that the year-long update of our website, waccra.org, is complete! We encourage all our members to go take a look as soon as you can because you will love the new look and we think you will learn more about WACCRA than you knew before. That is our intent.
Two WACCRA members, Putnam Barber (Skyline) and Monica Clement (Timber Ridge), have worked together with WACCRA web guru Yvonne San Luis via Zoom to make this transformation happen. All WACCRA Board members have taken a look at the new website-in-progress over the course of the year.
What is WACCRA? Typical English usage is to spell out the name the first time it’s used, put the acronym in parens and use the acronym thereafter. I have read other articles on your website using this acronum–still cannot find what this refers to. Is this an “in group” message?
Please help.
Thanks for the question. Yes, WACCRA (Washington State Continuing Care Residents Association) is an acronym known to most of those viewing this blog. Sorry for any confusion. It’s an educational and advocacy group with wide membership from the 23 CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) in Washington State. As you might imagine, there is also a national organization (NACCRA – I’m guessing you can figure that one out). If you want to learn more, just click on the link on the blog and you can indeed find out all about WACCRA!
