“The Woodland Hills Senior Center should provide a gathering place for senior men and women, 50 years and older, where they can enjoy activities that contribute to continued learning and enrichment, socialization with other seniors, and participation in recreational programs that promote healthy lifestyles. In a comfortable and inviting environment, seniors should be able to enjoy special interest clubs, seasonal events, and gain valuable information from the popular and diverse classes and lectures provided by Senior programs.
The Senior program should include a variety of classes, lectures and excursions that are interesting and exciting for seniors who would like to continue practicing favorite skills and hobbies, stimulate thinking, or try something new.
Lectures, demonstrations, discussion groups and classes focus on entertainment, fitness, technology, music, fine arts, personal development, hobbies, and arts & crafts. Interesting and diverse excursions should be offered all year long, including day trips to museums, gardens, missions, nature sites, and special seasonal events. Field trips include lunch and transportation, providing an opportunity to make new friends along the way.
The Senior Center activities should include special interest clubs for members and non-members to enjoy. They might like to join the Book Club, Movie Club, Hiking, Gardening, Scrabble, or Photography Club. Further recreation should include a Mah Jongg, Canasta, or Poker group, clubs to be formed, for seniors to join.
A Senior Sports room is a good place to meet fellow seniors for a game of darts, billiards, or ping-pong. A Senior Center should include and Activity room for seniors to relax in front of the TV screen and cheer their favorite teams to victory with and make new friends. A monthly calendar and a Newsletter should be provided to find which hours seniors can enjoy open paint time in an art room, open card play in the card room. The Woodland Hills Senior Center should be a home away from home for our seniors who may live alone and need companionship and activities”.
