Have you checked out The Olin/Grinchuk Senior Space?

Opened in 2003, The Olin/Grinchuk Senior Space is available to community individuals and groups over the age of fifty and provides a free, dedicated space for our senior members to meet, socialize and plan activities and events.

Here you can use the telephone for private local calls, take a look at the senior resources binder where you can find contact information for every type of helpful organization from housing, to legal, to employment resources. We now have a growing selection of audio and video tapes for you to borrow (on a simple honor system, sign-up and bring them back at your convenience). Also, plan a small meeting or workshop and take advantage of the private space.

Drop-in hours:
Mon.-Fri. 9am-9:30pm
Sat. 9am-6:30pm

For more information contact the Senior Services coordinator at (619) 692-2077, ext. 212, or seniors@thecentersd.org.
