Greetings from Joslyn Adult Center!

It’s that time of year again: the morning air is cool and crisp; trees and menorahs are coming out of storage boxes and finding their way back to our homes and lawns; and sounds of the season can be heard again on the tv and radio.

Though some of our yearly traditions will change this year, our Joslyn team wishes you a very happy, safe holiday season that is full of joy, love, and new unique traditions.

Our team is excited to announce the launch of a new volunteer program called Phone Pals. This program will pair seniors in need of telephone companionship with a volunteer that will regularly call and check in with them. If you are interested in either volunteering to be a Phone Pal, or in receiving these phone calls, please contact Joslyn Adult Center.

We are still offering FREE virtual programs and activities. On December 30, we will be hosting a Hollywood Glam New Year’s Eve themed Bingo, sponsored by Regal Medical Group. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot soon!

Happy Holidays!

BSAC UPDATE

We are excited to announce that Burbank Parks and Recreation is transitioning to a new registration system. In a couple of months we will begin inviting current 2020 BSAC members to make an appointment at Joslyn to extend their membership through December 31, 2021, for no additional charge. Those who did not purchase a 2020 card will be able to purchase a new card when the Center reopens.

In the meantime, while Joslyn remains closed, Virtual Activities will continue to be available at no cost, and will not require a BSAC card. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact the Joslyn Adult Center.
