the year. Hosted by Scottsdale Senior Services, the variety show is also held at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. “Local seniors, many of whom take classes or participate in activities at our senior centers, perform under the lights in a show that regularly reaches capacity,” says Nick. “Singers, dancers, comedians and everyone in between excite the crowd.” Some events need to be registered for online or by calling VLSC. Some of the other perks of participating in VLSC classes and programs include better health, relaxation, building relationships and connecting to their community. “Many of our seniors take up hobbies, like painting, that they have been interested in their entire life, but have never had the time to do,” says Nick. “It is great to see our older adult community engaged with their peers and enjoying their free time.” Regulars at VLSC become part of the family there. The strong sense of community exists because so many participate frequently. Take Leo for instance. Leo is a senior citizen who has been a regular attendee at the Scottsdale Senior Centers for 20 years. He is now 97 years old. He loves billiards and finds himself at home and in good company while he is there. And there are many others who are just like him. VLSC offers any senior a place to get involved, be a part of a community and build relationships that will last.
