Classes for Senior Citizens Abound This Summer

The Las Palmas Senior Center aims to please.

The Las Palmas Senior Center aims to keep local senior citizens busy this summer with a variety of classes and workshops being offered.

"Swing and Big Band Sound" is on the agenda for 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Seniors will be able to dance to music provided by the Buzz Maddox Octet, or simply enjoy the music from their seats.

There will also be field trips on the second Tuesday of every month as part of the "Culture Club" which visits places, including the Getty Museum, Little Tokyo and Venice Beach. The cost is $5 plus the admission price at each site.

"More than Jazz" will be offered from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 20. The Senior Choral Group and Dancers are scheduled to perform.

There is also a two-hour Spanish class offered at 12:45 p.m. on Fridays.

The Las Palmas Senior Center is located at 1820 North Las Palmas Ave. To find out more information about these or other activities, call  (323)465-7787.
