Golden Rainbow Senior Center

Palm Springs, CA USA
Excellent Organization. I participate in "Fit After Fifty",a twice weekly low impact Sr. exercise program designed for general vitality and to improve balance and prevent falls. As a retired art professor I began an art appreciation series coordinated with current exhibitions at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Each unit has two segments, (1) a film and discussion at the Center followed a week later by (2) a docent led museum tour. The well attended pilot exhibition (Spring 2009) was THE PORTRAITS OF ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE. Two more are upcoming in the Fall
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... the improved health (physical and mental), creativity, recreation, and intellect of the fellow member/clients
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... its welcome.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... professional friendly and welcoming.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... provide a much needed full service senior residential facility with condos, assisted living and skilled nursing components geared to the GLBT community
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... my partner and I had discovered the Center sooner.
- If I ran this organization, I would... be justifyably proud.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... fundraising in difficult times from a population shellshocked by worthy appeals.
- One thing I'd also say is that... I'm glad there are no more boxes to fill in.
MY ROLE: I was a Client Served & I improved my health and volunteered expertise and made new friends
