Culver City Senior Center

I really love this place. I retired when I was 50, and I was at loose ends as to how to fill my time. Most of my friends were still working, so I needed a place where I could meet some new people and enjoy my creative pursuits.
I met a friend at the gym who told me about the Culver City Senior Center. I was reticent to visit because I did not consider myself a senior. Although I was one of the younger members, I quickly realized that many people, although they are older, are still very interesting and have lead vital lives.
I begin a karaōke program there which has flourished since 2004. Now I take acting classes, improv classes and have really enjoyed the friendships that I have fostered there.
The place is getting crowded though, and they have a parking challenge from time to time. I really wish more senior centers like this one would be erected throughout the city. It is a shame that baby boomers and older people have very few options when it comes to how they can spend their retirement years. Many are isolated and lonely. I’m not.

Like:
— Meal service for the elderly
— Monthly event called «Socialites” — an evening where adults with disabilities can listen to live music, enjoy hot food, and have some fun!
— Annual Kid’s Carnival for children with disabilities and their families (See my Unilocal event listing for more information on this event)
— Daily exercise classes for the elderly
— Gym with cardio equipment and weights
— Arts and Crafts room
— Many more activities!
Dislike:
None
Note:
This is a consequence of good people who want to do good things for their communities.
