A
Good
morning,
everyone
can,
you
say
with
me:
oh
happy
day,
oh
happy
day
now,
if
you've
been
in
the
city
like
I
have
40,
we
won't
say
how
many
years
you
know
that
this
Senior
Center
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
So
today
is
a
happy
day.
I
would
like
to
welcome
you.
My
name
is
Sabrina
Barnes
I'm,
the
director
of
parks,
recreation
and
Library
Services,
our
department,
once
this
beautiful
home
is
built,
we'll
have
oversight
of
the
facility.
B
11
years
ago,
the
former
senior
center
was
demolished
in
anticipation
of
building
a
new
one.
There
were
snafus
in
the
design
that
it
multum
Utley,
resulted
in
the
city
not
only
not
being
able
to
build
it,
but
to
have
to
return
2
million
dollars
to
the
federal
government
for
misapplying
the
funds,
and
that
was
left
on
my
plate.
When
I
got
into
office,
I
got
to
tell
you
something
this
community
sure
does
feel
different
these
days.
Doesn't
it
I
mean
I
have
never
seen
this?
Many
people
come
out
to
an
outdoor
event.
B
If
it
wasn't,
the
space
shuttle
coming
through
Inglewood
we've
been
had
our
bond
rating
upgraded.
We've
started
completion
of
renovating
century
boulevard,
we've
gotten
the
form
reopen
the
NFL
is
coming
here
and
now
the
grandest
vicious
Senior
Center
in
the
south
bay
is
under
construction
and
will
open
November
of
2017,
and
what
you
saw
today
was
community
joy
at
another
promise
delivered
you.
C
Know
it's
almost
like
the
walls
are
here
and
we're
in
our
Center.
Can
you
feel
it?
Can
you
feel
it
all
right,
I'm
so
happy
to
be
here?
I'm
you
Lisbet
pain,
I'm,
the
advisory
council
person
for
this
group,
and
we
have
been
doing
this
for
quite
a
few
years,
but
I'm
so
happy
and
I
know
you
are
I
have
lived
in
the
city
of
Inglewood
for
over
45
years
and
I
watched
the
deterioration
of
our
city.
C
D
Our
pleasure
to
provide
a
home
away
from
home
for
our
seniors,
something
that
they'll
be
proud
of
something
that's
going
to
provide
them
a
place
to
come,
to
learn,
to
interact
with
other
seniors,
to
take
field
trips
and
to
have
a
place
in
Inglewood.
That's
going
to
make
them
proud
to
be
a
senior
in
our
community.
The
seniors
are
the
ones
that
helped
set
them.
D
The
trend
for
what
we're
headed
in
the
future,
they're
the
ones
that
that
you
know
for
so
many
years,
stood
with
us
and
helped
define
where
we're
headed
in
Inglewood,
and
so
now
it's
a
chance
for
us
to
to
do
something
for
them
to
thank
them
for
all
their
hard
work.
For
sticking
with
us
and
for
being
a
big
part
of
our
community.
My.
E
Name
is
Alvin,
Harris
and
I
am
will
be
93
years
old
in
October
and
I've
been
attending.
This
Senior
Center
for
over
20
years
I
do
volunteer
work,
I
belong
to
the
activities
committee
and
I
worked
with
the
food
bank
every
fourth
tuesday
at
rogers
park
with
the
handicaps.
I'm,
so
glad
I'm
so
proud
to
our
witness
this
day,
because
when
they
just
destroyed
our
building
10
years
ago,
and
we
promised
that
we
were
going
to
get
a
new
building,
so
we've
been
waiting
patiently
and
it
was
my
prayers
that
I
would
live
to
see.
F
F
A
lot
of
things
happen
before
there
just
wasn't
quite
right,
but
this
is
the
right
place
right
time
with
the
right
people
and
it's
it's
a
combination
of
a
lot
of
minds
getting
together,
because
we
had
a
whole
scene
committed
to
work
with
the
architects
and
engineers
to
come
up
with
a
building
that
they
would
be
proud
of,
and
that
have
some
of
the
things
in
a
date
they
wanted
to
see-
and
this
is
the
end
results
of
it
and
its
really
really
spectacular.
My.
G
Name
is
genetic
Taylor
and
I've
been
coming
to
the
Senior
Center
since
1984
I
would
like
to
congratulate
mr.
butts
for
getting
the
job
done.
We've
been
looking
forward
to
this
Center
for
many
many
years,
I
think
maybe
about
10
years
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
promises,
but
he
came
in
and
he
is
the
man
he
is
the
man
and
I'm
grateful
for
that
because
and
he
lives
a
bit
pain.
She's
been
a
a
beautiful,
beautiful
woman
who
love
the
seniors
and
I
love
her
to
the.
H
Beauty
of
the
the
Senior
Center
is
just
like
Hollywood
Park
and
everything
else
we
all
kind
of
own
it
together,
because
you
know
we
all,
for
instance,
I
have
two
senior
housings
in
my
area.
You
know
another
one's
about
to
get
built
and
we
realize
how
important
a
Senior
Center
is.
We've
taken
some
hits
as
a
city,
but
here
we
are
rebuilding
the
city
of
Inglewood,
we're
rebuilding
it
with
with
better
retail,
better
housing,
better
entertainment.
We
are
rebuilding
our
streets
from
the
ground
up
and
our
senior
component
is
such
a
huge
element.
Most.
I
B
Would
not
be
where
we
are
today,
but
for
the
sacrifice,
effort
and
hard
work
of
our
seniors,
and
sometimes
that's
real
easy
to
forget,
as
they
get
on
in
years
that
they
actually
built
what
we
have
today
and
it's
our
responsibility
to
build
upon
it.
And
we
take
that
very
seriously
here
in
the
city
of
Inglewood.
We
love
our
seniors.
