Astoria Senior Center

What a terrific place for our local seniors! Now that they've reopened the facility and the diner, everyone is looking forward to getting back to a sense of normalcy.

Fantastic! The hostess on duty greeted me warmly and gave me a nickel tour of the facility. I was given a calendar of events and introduced to the president. Had a very nice meal in the cafeteria and met a lot of wonderful folks! Highly recommended! I'm looking forward to going back next time I'm in town.

I freaked the poor staff out by telling them I wasn't vaccinated. Was told I'd have to go outside and they wouldn't let me back in. Apparently, they didn't realize some health conditions contraindicate new, unproven vaccines. My grandson, who was with me, was spalled by the way they reacted, so it gave us a good opportunity to discuss that people have different mindsets. So, actually, they did me a favor.

Nice people. Well maintained building. I went to the Saturday movie. I'm looking forward to Tai Chi and maybe Bingo.

There are lots of opportunities to do a variety of things. You can take a class in line dancing, learn to play Bridge, have lunch with friends, pick up a good book to read or movie to watch, go shopping on the bus or just hang out with friends. So much to do and all for $20 a year. Hard to beat!
