James Monroe Senior Ctr

Write a Review718-893-3484

A center that is fast losing it's true purpose. The manager and assistant manger are indebted to its volunteers, who think that they are superior and are part managers. The center lacks culture, thus is extremely loud and people sit on the piano keyboard (unblieveable). Many people have given-up and just don't come anymore. They put forth a false image of the center on Utube. A center that over a period of 15 years have gone from what I would consider a 5 star rating to a #2 rating!

A great place to meet young seniors, and have fun. The Center's Assistant Director is the legendary Franck Strongbow, a veteran newspaper writer, radio broadcaster, and actor. The Director is Glisette Rivera, a dynamic Lady who is not given to dictatorial or "Big Ego" tiffs, but who is real, flexible, and special when it comes to the Human touch with seniors. The Advisory Board President is charismatic Charlie Dore, and the Vice President is the lovely Elba Mass. Secretary to the Advisory Board is Tina Santiago, and George Ruiz is is the superstar volunteer along with the inimitable Maria Cruz. A great place indeed!
