Our Message
HBCOA at the forefront of aging issues
Officially recognized by the City Council of Huntington Beach as representing its local senior citizens, the HBCOA was awarded non-profit status in 1973 and has always been at the forefront of aging issues. During the design stage of the new Senior Center in Central Park, the City Council directed the HBCOA to provide input related to the overall design of the new center.
Message, Information & Updates
We are deeply appreciative of our ability to support the senior center to provide critical services, programs, information, and educational resources that empower Huntington Beach's older adults to live well and age well. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our HBCOA members, dedicated volunteers, community partners, and generous donors. Your ongoing support is the foundation of everything we achieve. We are equally thankful for the commitment and hard work of our senior center staff.
If you are not yet a member, volunteer, or donor, I invite you to become part of our community.
Your HBCOA President, Carolyn Ross

Supervisor's Message
A happy May to you all!
The Senior Center in Central Park team strives to optimize the aging experience in HB. We feel that we are partners with our community, to serve our community. If you are looking for a way to make the most out of the longer days over the next few months, come by and join in something new! You could incorporate a fitness routine into your week through the Wellness Center, learn from one of the informative lectures or classes, pick up a new hobby through a volunteer-led class or activity. Be sure to check the Outlook calendar for drop-in and low-cost activities and the HBsands.org site which features contract classes on various topics at all the community centers in HB. The options are plentiful! A big THANK YOU to all of our Senior Center volunteers & Huntington Beach Council on Aging board members which support staff and department efforts to provide excellent services to Huntington Beach residents and visitors. This month we celebrate Mother’s Day and wish all the moms out there peace and love. We also remember, with honor and gratitude, our military personnel on Memorial Day. May is also officially Mental Health Awareness Month, and it is Older Americans Month. We are all looking forward to the summer concert this month, and July, the Disc Golf Tournament with a concert in June, and the HBCOA Luncheon in July. We hope some springtime showers bring you beautiful May flowers.
Sincerely,
Michelle Yerke, Social Services Supervisor
