Greetings from Joslyn Adult Center!

Fall is officially here, and we couldn’t be more excited about our October virtual activities.

Recently we launched Virtual Bingo, sponsored by Regal Medical Group. It’s free to play, and we have some great prizes! Space is limited, so be sure to sign up soon for our October “Halloween” game scheduled for Wednesday, October 28.

This month LA Opera will be leading an exciting Joslyn Zoom discussion on “Witches in Opera.” This event is free for all Seniors. To sign up, call the Joslyn Adult Center or email joslyn@burbankca.gov.

Though the Joslyn Center remains closed, we are still finding new ways to connect. Each month we are adding new FREE programs and activities. Our team is open to ideas for new classes and available to answer questions about virtual activities. If you are interested in participating but are not sure how, please do not hesitate to call us. We are happy to walk you through the first steps to get you started.

Happy Fall!
