J-Sei COVID-19 – Booster Update
Dear J-Sei Community:
Due to the high transmissibility rate of Omicron and the winter surge, we are taking important steps to keep everyone healthy and safe. For the best protection for our community, all individuals on site at J-Sei will need to show proof of their booster to enter the building starting on January 17, 2022.
For those who have had their last COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months ago, it is recommended that you get a booster. The following links provide more information on the booster vaccination.

Those with extenuating medical circumstances should let us know so that we can figure out the best course of action should they not be able to receive a booster. Contact Diane Wong at diane@j-sei.org.
We are so sorry that more precautions are needed at this time. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and support as we work, as best we can, to maintain a safe environment for the community.
Diane Wong, MSW
Executive Director

My Senior Center
We are implementing My Senior Center, a new electronic system to monitor the activity at J-Sei, beginning in January 2022. Once you are registered on-site, you will have access to your own account and activity. This will allow for more efficient in-take in the building with a swipe of the keycard or input of your phone number. A daily health check concerning COVID-19 can be completed electronically upon entry. This will also help J-Sei to monitor and track its activity for contact tracing and reporting to funders. Staff will be available to train you on use of the new system.
Shibori, derived from the Japanese word “shiboru” which means to wring, squeeze or press, is an ancient technique of resist dyeing. While there are many traditional techniques such as knotting, stitching, pole wrapping, or clamping that create different patterns, the Indigo dyeing of natural fabrics creates distinctive deep blue and white products that are uniquely Japanese.
