Editor,

The Susi Q Senior Center at the community center on Third Street downtown is a cool place for lunch, conversation, activities, reading and counseling.

Every Monday through Friday from 11:30 to 12:15, lunch is served.  Vegetarian entrees include favorites including butternut squash soup, creamy macaroni, broccoli soup, sweet and sour cabbage, baked potatoes, and Caesar salads. Other popular entrees include swiss steak, pulled pork bar bq sandwiches, southwest chicken chili, meatloaf, and cheese burgers.

All city buses and city neighborhood trolleys from Top of The World, Bluebird Canyon and Arch Beach Heights stop at the front door of the Susi Q and the Sally’s Fund van (499-4100) picks up seniors from their front door.

Some seniors arrive around 10 a.m. for coffee and conversation in the dining room or visit the beautiful library to read daily newspapers, many up-to-date magazines or one of hundreds of books.

Bingo is a popular game with prizes at 10:30 on Mondays and Thursdays and there’s a great movie every Monday after lunch at 12:30. Irvine Valley College offers unusual movies on most Tuesdays at 12:30 and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, there’s ping pong on three Olympic style tables.

Meet new and wonderful friends, play bridge, talk about current events, practice playing the ukulele, get computer assistance, play numerous games with friends in the open game room, take tai chi or get personal counseling and learn many other skills in numerous other activities.

L.G.B.T. people meet for fun filled meetings the first and third Fridays at 3 p.m. Believe it or not, there is a Persian Club and fabulous changing art displayed in the hallways and rooms of the Susi Q.

If you are a senior, consider checking out the wonderful, cool Susi Q Senior Center.
