I started going to the Elwin Mussell Senior Center when they had a execise class MWF. It was a…read moregreat time! Then I noticed they didn't have coffee & conversation in the morning, no consistency in a exercise classes, slowly taking things away. I discovered the senior center buidling was sold to Department of Recreation & Parks. Some of the Activities were taken away like Line dancing is now at the Able Maldonado building with a fee. Then the SeniorCenter had a afternoon exercise class for 18-49..nobody over 50 is allowed to take the class!!! The senior center is now saying it's open in the late afternoon for 18 & over but you can't take the class if you over 50 ! What? Some activities are P&R's the other activities for instance travel is still at the Elwin Senior Center. I know it's confusing!! A lot of cut backs in the past few years. Even the lobby is like a ghost lobby they moved all the couches & chairs we use to sit on out of the way. Receptionist would say hello but now it's crickets!! Rumors has it's they rent it out for parties$$$$. So I guess seniors don't count but the grants for the teens are a priority. Very disappointed!

One staff member there named stephanie was so rude and condescending to the members, volunteers, and even her coworkers. I was disgusted with the way she treated people. I will never return again. Im not going to give my money to any organization that would hire someone like her. I can not believe the management there dosent fire her. What i miserable place to be with someone like her there. She never said a word to me. I was disgusted just by watching her interactions with the other members and the poor volunteers. They volunteer to give back out of the kindness of there hearts and shes rude and lazy ordering them to do anything she was to lazy to do. Utterly disgusting individual stephanie is.

I had glassware that I had taken the time to individually wrap so it wouldn't break or chip. This girl didn't like that I put the box of glass in a bin. I told her it was glass and shouldn't be dumped in the bin (she told me no boxes allowed). She took the box out of the bin and dropped it on the cement at about 4' distance from the ground. I was furious and took my now broken glassware and put it back in my car and drove away. Who takes a box of glassware and purposely drops it? The last time I took my stuff to Goodwill, there was a GREAT GUY who helped me unload my stuff and gave me a receipt.
