Tour of the Lakeport Senior Center
In our first installment of “Lake County Views”, we visited the Lakeport Senior Center, which is a mecca of daily activities. We followed Executive Director Jonathan Crooks through one day of events that began with prepping of Meals on Wheels.
The chef and volunteers prepare meals for drivers to pick up and deliver to approximately 175 clients daily. This went off with precision. Each driver has a designated route in which to deliver hot meals.
We were then shown the large hall where an exercise class was in progress. The Center always has nicely decorated tables ready for the lunch crowd. There are always many activities to benefit seniors and members of the community from lunch, bingo, bridge and movies to referral services offered by office staff.
After a short walk across the street to the Community Garden and Play Ground we headed for the newly opened Thrift Store on Main Street in Lakeport. This store is very large and well arranged. If you’re looking for anything from dishes to tools or books or decorative items, this is definitely the place to start. The store also accepts donations of merchandise to stock the shelves.
The full interview with Jonathan Crooks can be seen above.
This is the first installment in the series “Lake County Views”, where host Jo Bennett takes viewers to all corners of Lake County, exploring the community and asking the questions that everyone wants to know.
