It is certainly praiseworthy that Monterey Park offers a diverse range of services for its senior…read morecitizens. Upon observing the Langley Senior Center, I noticed numerous senior citizens leaving with boxes, some carrying several. I understand that they distribute 200 food boxes each Friday. The distribution follows a first-come, first-served system, with individuals arriving early in the morning to obtain their food boxes. In addition, Monterey Park also arranges a monthly food distribution at Barnes Park. To participate, one must submit an application, provide identification, and furnish proof of residency in Monterey Park. My friend takes advantage of the transportation services by contacting the Langley Senior Center.

I will continue to show up to this area because as far as I understand, it is an open space to the public. Thank you for your time.

It is also used for city council meeting so its location is well known within the city. Getting in and out is a bit of wait as Garvey is a major thoroughfare and traffic often backs up at Garvey and Rosemead. Sometime I turn on Lee Street to get around the jam. But I digressed. Back to the Center. For some reason I can't explain, I used to refer to this center as the senior center. I often see people playing table tennis, and hold yoga/dance & exercise classes here. Come on by when you are in the area. Staff at the reception counter are great resources to answer questions.

One can access the meditation series online and enjoy one of many guided session. I partake in the yoga classes offered. It's a great value, $60 for 10 classes! Both instructors are excellent teachers. They have different styles, but both are committed to the practice and having students really focus on doing the exercise properly. You can get a full body workout if you listen, follow the instructions and allow yourself to explore, as Avry puts it, "the pleasant edge of discomfort". She also reminds students that every pose is optional, and take step to allow student to build strength and add on to the level of difficulty when they are ready. Margie's Wednesday class is wonderful, she is so knowledgeable and I find her dedication inspiring. Her class is a bit more difficult, which I enjoy. The senior center is vibrant, there a workshops, Clubs, Guest Speakers, Movies, Trips, etc... I find it charming, the community of people here. When I arrive in the morning, there's a group enjoying coffee together, they always say Good Morning. The staff is really great and there are youth volunteers that must get some school credit for being there which also add to the charm and vitality of the Senior Center.

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.
