THIS REVIEW IS FOR HOSTING AN EVENT…read more My baby shower was hosted here and we had a great time! If you're a Rosemead resident with a Rosemead address on your ID, you'll get half off the renting costs :) Rented out Room 2(?) the largest room that fits 300 guests. We had about 150 people at our baby shower and it was very comfortable. The staff set the table and chairs for us, while providing extra tables for desserts, food, gifts etc. Having strong AC was extremely important for us and they fulfilled that need! There was a restroom with 5 stalls per gender that was super convenient inside the room. The center also provided several large trash cans and emptied out the trash throughout the event. There are doors that open to the outside park area, where we stationed our catering vendor. This place is great and they get quite busy so I'd highly recommend booking early if you're interested!

I wanted to submit feedback regarding who seems to be a recent new employee working on Tuesday…read moreevenings - a white male young adult in his early twenties with curly blonde hair This male employee at the Community Center at 375 Campus Drive on Tuesday evenings is extremely aggressive. As part of the Beginning Line Dance Adult Class (SU26-4219), our class's official schedule is from 7:15 PM - 8:15 PM PDT. Last week on Tuesday, July 21, this employee in question, barged into the class slightly past 8:00 PM PDT and started yelling at us that class is over, with no respect or regard for the teacher either. He then started moving chairs every which way to begin stacking, except as a full class of 35 people, and on many occasions, over 35, we are already jam packed in there, so this male employee swinging chairs around carelessly in an attempt to rush us out of there while we are in the middle of class is extremely reckless and dangerous. Especially since this class has multiple students who are elderly. Is it a value of the Arcadia Recreation Team to have employees be rude to students who largely are from the young children and elderly age group? Is there a lack of training to this team, such that employees think it is okay to yell and disrupt a class that students have paid for and has not reached the designated ending time set by the city?  I feel in danger when I see this male barge in, as he clearly has no respect and is extremely hot headed. If he is in such a rush to end his shift, perhaps he should not be assigned to this evening time slot.  My family and I have been students in multiple classes since 2017, and never has there been an employee who treated a class with this level of disrespect. Multiple other students in this Tuesday class were unhappy with his behavior and called him out, only for him to continue shouting at us as he ignored us and stormed out of the classroom. If these are the values shown in experiences at Arcadia Recreation Center, I will have to end my time taking classes here this season, even though we have attended classes since 2017 and have taken Line Dance Class for the last 3 years. This is extremely disappointing service and disturbing behavior for an employee of the City of Arcadia to have.

But due to work, I have only been able to take a few classes throughout the years. But I do love the variety of classes that they offer and how constant their schedule is. If you are looking for a Japanese school for your child to attend, they offer that. If you would like to just learn more about the community through the different cultural classes, just sign up for the emails and you can be alerted for upcoming classes that they offer. I've taken amigurumi (crochet), ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), and a cooking class. All of the instructors are great and mostly volunteers. So it just shows you what a great community there is. They have festivals through the year and also help put on the West Covina Cherry Blossom Festival. They also host the West Covina obon at the center but it is organized by the Buddhist church which is based out of the community center. So there is just a lot of activities that you can get involved with.

The process was very smooth and organized as employees, beginning with the uniformed security guard, provided very clear instructions on what to do. All of the employees I had contact with were very helpful and friendly. The wait in line was approximately 30 minutes, as there were 25+ people ahead of me. Once inside, I received a copy of my birth certificate within two minutes. Service was VERY efficient. The cost to receive a copy of my birth certificate was $34.00, plus a $1.75 fee for paying by debit card. Tip: There is a free parking lot to the rear of the location.

Update -- One Year Later…read more It's been about a year since I wrote my original review, and I haven't had any contact with Cindy's Singles since then. With a year of distance, my opinion hasn't changed. Looking back, I felt the service benefited a relatively small group of members who seemed to receive most of Cindy's attention and matchmaking effort. Once I signed up and paid, I didn't feel she had much interest in actually helping me succeed. Since leaving Cindy's Singles, I've had far more dates through dating apps and meeting women on my own than I ever did through the service. After several years around Cindy's Singles and paying for two memberships, I can say it simply wasn't a good experience for me. I would not join again.
