People often ask me what and where
exactly is Dickinson Hall? We pride
ourselves in being a community-based
center, specifically geared to the
celebration of the older adult, tucked away
in a serene corner of Lake Forest just
waiting to be discovered. Back in the day,
the universal impression of senior centers
was all about bingo and bland events.
We’re constantly reinventing the term
‘senior center’ over here on the beautiful
Grove Campus. Dickinson Hall simply
means a lively place where friends and
soon-to-be friends meet to be social, learn
together, and have easy access to the
social services needed to live happily and
safely in their own homes in the
community. Additionally our transportation
services help to keep members active
throughout the community.
June will mark the beginning of our new
summer dinner and music series. Come
along and check out the quality of our
programming with its excellent food,
beautiful decor and live music. Lake
Forest favorite, the Carl Noble Trio will
kick off the series with jazz in June for us.
We’ll welcome the stylish and sassy
Chicago-based band, The Flat Cats in
July. These laidback gatherings are the
perfect way to celebrate summer with
friends!
If you’re receiving this NewsBrief for the
first time, I encourage you to visit and take
a tour of our historic facility. Maybe try a
fitness class, join us for a lecture, or
accompany us on a trip. During all
seasons, Dickinson Hall is a welcoming
place where you can continue lifelong
learning, make new friends, and find your
place in our friendly community. Our staff
works daily to make Dickinson Hall a
place you feel respected, heard, and
known. It truly is a place just for you!
We look forward to seeing you soon,
Jill
