The Senior Center has started outside programming! Although we are not indoors just yet, we hope to have
updates soon. In addition to including updates in The Scene, we will notify you by email or phone as the City
continues to assess the safest way to re-open. In addition to outdoor fitness, the Center will continue to
provide a variety of community resources, classes and activities via zoom. Contact the office at 530-757-5696
or email seniorservices@cityofdavis.org for details. To register for classes visit www.cityofdavis.org/
seniorservices, and click the “Online Registration” button on the right side of your screen. An online account
will be created for you within two business days if you don’t already have one.
Lisa’s Retiring!
After nearly 30 years of service, our friend and co-worker is retiring! Lisa has been an
exceptional advocate as the center’s information and assistance specialist. She’s helped
countless seniors and their families navigate a complex network of community resources.
Whether helping seniors one-on-one or coordinating with agency partners, she’s dedicated her
career to improving the lives of those around her. Lisa’s been an integral part of all aspects of
programming, and during her tenure she’s been a supervisor, editor, fundraiser, parade lead
and even a fitness instructor. All along she’s been a mentor who has fostered a culture of service, excellence
and compassion. We will miss seeing her day to day, but we look forward to updates on her next adventures.
If you want to wish Lisa well, then please send your messages to the Senior Center and we’ll be sure to get
them to her.
A Message from Lisa
I’ve loved working with and getting to know so many of you at the Davis Senior Center. You are my role
models for successful aging! To those I have helped with difficult challenges in your life — finding resources,
completing paperwork or just listening — thank you for putting your trust in me. It has been an honor. In
retirement I plan to do more traveling, volunteering and visiting my 96-year-old mom. Since I live in Davis,
I’ll be taking advantage of the Senior Center’s great programs as a participant and volunteer. See you there!
