4. JOIN THE CENTER TO CENTER YOUSELF AND TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS. OUR PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE: ''MEMBERS FIRST''!

''--OLDER ADULTS, LIKE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, ARE INDIVIDUALS WITH UNIQUE AMBITIONS, CAPABILITIES, AND CREATIVE CAPACITIES;
--SENIORS ARE CAPABLE OF CONTINUED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT;
--WE ALL HAVE BASIC NEEDS THAT CONTINUE UNTIL DEATH. THESE INCLUDE: OPPORTUNITIES FOR RELATIONSHIPS AND FOR EXPERIENCING A SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT;
--WE ALL NEED ACCESS TO SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND HELP WHEN FACED WITH PROBLEMS;
--WE ALL CONTINUE TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, FROM BOTH YOUNG AND OLD, AS WE GROW AND AS WE TRY TO COPE WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES;
--WE HAVE THE RIGHT, BOTH IN OUR CENTER AND IN OUR SOCIETY, TO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR INVOLVEMENT IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIFE, INCLUDING OUR CENTER'S DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES''.
--from the R.A.I.N. EASTCHESTER SENIOR CENTER CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS, inspired by the National Council on Aging.

SO, JOIN US ALREADY! 718-882-8513

The staff and members work very hard to make the Center a home away from home. This is a place that is immediately warm and inviting. Most of us at the Center are here because we know how important it is to be around other people and have friends. Here is where you will make many friends!
