- If I ran this organization, I would... continue in the direction they are going. Continue to research the needs of the elder lesbian/gay community and finding a way to attend to those needs.

I've seen this center make a difference in the lives of many, many local GLBT seniors, providing a lifeline of food to those on restricted incomes, providing important social networks, providing an alternative to bars for socializing, providing free legal services, counseling and information of importance to GLBT seniors. Most of all it's a safe haven in a world that is still too often judgmental and discriminatory to both the GLBT community and to seniors.
And it's fun! Personally I've forged several wonderful friendships by volunteering, but also attending various events and classes.
The Golden Rainbow Senior Center is a priceless asset to the whole region.

Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... monetary ones, like most non-profits in today's difficult economy. The Center does so much with so little that one can only imagine how much more it could soar with more funding.
- One thing I'd also say is that... it's a big jewel in the crown of Palm Springs and the whole Coachella Valley!
