Senior Committee Happenings/Update
Attend Senior Committee Meetings
City of Laguna Niguel - Senior Citizens Committee
The Laguna Niguel Senior Citizens Committee is an advisory group to the City Council and the Parks &
Recreation Commission. The Committee meets to discuss the needs of senior citizens both within the City
and regionally. The Committee promotes involvement of senior citizens in community affairs and provides
input regarding a variety of programs benefiting the senior citizens that make up our community. The
Committee meets on an as-needed basis. When held, meetings are at 2:00 p.m. on the second
Wednesday of the month in Council Chambers at City Hall. The Committee’s meetings function similarly to
the way City Council meetings are held and the public is welcome to attend.
The Senior Citizens Committee is Working For You
This year, the City of Laguna Niguel’s Senior Citizens Committee has discussed many ideas to help expand
offerings to seniors here at Sea Country Senior & Community Center. The first program implemented was
the Tech Tutor program where local high school students teach seniors how to use their iPads in a
classroom setting and also provide one-on-one appointments on iPads, iPhones, laptop computers,
Android phones, Kindles, and other pads. This program has been very successful and enjoyed by many
people.
As part of the City Council budgetary process, the Senior Citizen Committee received funds to provide three
programs during this fiscal year. Program ideas envisioned and suggested by the Senior Citizens
Committee include:
A dance, “Dancing at Twilight”, collaboratively planned by members from the Senior Citizens Committee,
the Laguna Niguel Senior Citizens Club, Age Well and City staff. Tickets are on sale now. See pg. 5.
Low cost Brain Fitness classes, to keep your brain stronger for longer. See page 12.
Additional Computer Lab Instruction, providing one-on-one appointments and class presentations on
the latest uses of technology, coming in the near future.
The Senior Citizens Committee also suggested that the Center provide a container to collect used batteries,
now available in the lobby, as well as a class to help seniors study for the written driving test beginning in
September. Find out more on page 21 and 27.
The Senior Citizens Committee is reviewing a list of ideas and welcomes your input. We encourage you to
attend meetings!
