A milestone celebration year of events and surprises
It has been 5 wonderful, busy, exciting, challenging, and amazing years
that Huntington Beach Senior Services and the Huntington Beach Council On
Aging have enjoyed their new home in Central Park. During these past 5
years, the Senior Center has seen classes grow by leaps and bounds in size,
many exciting new activities have been offered, and countless people have
received vital and valuable aging services. The center has played host to over
30 dances, concerts, and special events, and a new annual signature holiday
gala premiered in 2017 with the Seashells and Jingle Bells Gala. Over 125,000
vital transportation rides have been provided, over 450,000 Home Delivered
Meals have been provided, and 100,000 plus calls for services and resources
have been fielded from the community by the Social Services Program. The
center has been a beacon of steadfast vitality and engagement for seniors. This
was made ever apparent during the challenging covid-19 years. It is now once
again a buzzing hive, renewed with activities and engaging opportunities, as life begins a new path post
pandemic.
To commemorate all the new exciting events, classes, stories, and community that has grown out of the
Senior Center in Central Park these past 5 years, the Center is excited to host a full line up of community
events through the remainder of 2021. These events will focus on reconnection and active aging, as the center
and the HBCOA continue with their missions of creating a great place to age and enjoy life.
● Summer Concert: Saturday, August 14th: Come and enjoy a gathering on the lawn and take in a first
class concert by Hollywood Blonde and the top 40. The evening will include a delicious dinner and
fantastic music under the stars. Come and reconnect with the center and your friends, while enjoying an
evening concert event.
● Together Again Fall Community Festival: Saturday, September 25th: The Senior Center will play host
to a community gathering focusing on reconnection and community engagement. Come check out all the
ways to connect and build community as you age in HB. There will be a vendor fair, food, and
entertainment to enjoy.
● Rise and Walk: Saturday, November 13th: After a long and challenging year it is time to rise like a
phoenix from the ashes of 2020-2021 and walk into a new path of life and community. The center will
play host to a community walk with both a 1 mile option and a 5K option around Central Park. This event
will focus on health and wellness and will include information about Senior Center activities to keep you
healthy through the holiday season and along your aging journey. Come and enjoy a wonderful Fall day
with friends and take on the park.
● Seashells and Jingle Bells Winter Gala: Saturday, December 11th: Wrap-up an unprecedented year with
all your friends and loved ones at a festive Winter Gala. The evening will include a cocktail hour, served
buffet dinner, and plenty of time to dance the night away. Come bid farewell to this rebuilding year and
say hello to a renewed year ahead.
● Share Your Story: July-December: A lot has happened over the course of 5 years in the park. There
were highs of new events, new friendships, new experiences. There have been lows with covid and
challenging times, but all of these stories help to build the resounding community that is the Senior Center
in Central Park. To commemorate the work and stories that have occurred at the center, Senior Services is
building a memory book to honor, recognize, remember, and celebrate all the stories that happen every
day at the Senior Center. Pick-up your story packet from the front desk or in the lobby and share your
story. A final book will be available for viewing in 2022.
There will be commemorative items and experiences available at the center and throughout the next five
months to celebrate this milestone year. Come and share in the joy and excitement at the Senior Center and
age well with us in Huntington Beach.
