DISCUSSION: On September 25, 1993, the City of Temecula proudly celebrated the grand opening of the Mary Phillip's Senior Center. Today, the center is extremely active providing recreational and human services opportunities to the ever-increasing number of senior citizens in the Temecula Valley. Since the opening of the Mary Phillips Senior Center, programs and attendance have continued to grow. Staff continues to pursue new program ideas and concepts to meet the community's growing senior population needs, Two years ago, a 3,000 square foot expansion was completed at the Mary Phillips Senior Center. This expansion was very timely and greatly assisted us in meeting the continued needs of our senior population. This expansion has allowed us to provide a larger library room with big screen television, a billiards room, a craft room, and a small and large meeting room. Staff continues to explore the implementation of programs and activities that are not traditionally Senior Center activities, This is to assist us in meeting the needs of a younger more active senior population, We have implemented programs and classes that are sponsored by Mt. San Jacinto Community College and include ESL, Crazy Quilting and Memoir Writing. In addition, the following regular programs are offered but are not limited to a daily lunch program, transportation program, exercise classes, dance classes, bridge, excursions, pot-lucks, special events and much more, Several newer programs include: the "Alzheimer's Association Support Group". This program offers support and assistance to caregivers and health care professionals, and the general population. Our second annual "Stepping Out For Seniors" event which is a statewide special event that will be held on May 15, 2004, The event will introduce and encourage seniors and their families to participate in the many programs offered to seniors, The event will include an open house, health faire, class demonstrations, prizes, food and fun! Another program entitled "Picking Up The Pieces" is gaining more interest and the program has recently expanded to two sessions, This is a bereavement class that helps seniors and their families cope with loss of a loved one, The Seniors Golden Years ofTemecula Valley have been a very important part of the Mary Phillip's Senior Center for many years, The Seniors Golden Years are a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of local seniors. They provide additional programs and volunteer support that are instrumental in the overall success of the center, R:\CSCAGEND\O20904 Senior ReportCommission.doc Currently we feel that the Mary Phillips Senior Center is meeting our current needs, ttached are samples of some of the marketing materials that are currently being used to promote a variety of activities and programs offered at the Mary Phillip's Senior Center, This evening, Recreation Supervisor Candice Adkisson-Flohr will provide additional information and handouts regarding the overall operations and opportunities at the Mary Phillip's Senior Center.
