La Fetra Center reports steady attendance, new Alzheimer’s support group and fall trips
Summary
La Fetra senior center staff said daily nutrition meals draw 25–40 attendees, that a new Alzheimer's support group starts Sept. 24, and that fall day trips and a November craft boutique and veterans luncheon are scheduled.
La Fetra senior center staff summarized programs and upcoming events for the Community Service Commission, including resident trips, new support services and ongoing classes.
A staff report described summer programming (29 clubs and groups, 11 classes, 7 day trips and one event) and previewed fall offerings: four day trips, three events, one new group and one new class. The daily nutrition program — provided by the YWCA of San Gabriel Valley at the center — draws 25 to 40 participants each day, staff said. Notable ongoing activities include bingo, bridge, Tai Chi, senior yoga (now full with a wait list), an intermediate iPhone/iPad class series, and senior‑strength classes run in partnership with a local fitness provider.
Staff said the La Fetra Center will introduce a caregiver-focused Alzheimer’s Support Group led by a Visiting Angels care professional on Sept. 24 and that the center will host several fall day trips including live performances, casino trips and a visit to the Reagan Library’s seasonal holiday displays. Upcoming events include an annual craft boutique on Nov. 1 and a Salute to Veterans luncheon on Nov. 4 that will include certificates for veterans and live music.
Commissioners praised the programming and asked staff to circulate volunteer opportunities for youth or residents interested in working with programs such as troop meetings. No formal action was required.
