(909) 839-7060 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117 2.1 Packet Pg. 8 Recreation Classes Summer Recreation Classes The Summer season came to a close on September 3. Classes were welcomed back by the community, happy and eager to participate in-person activities. With over 900 participants enrolled in 198 different class sections, staff is happy to report that there were no confirmed COVID-19 cases reported. Enrollment increased as class programs fully returned, resulting in a gross profit of $138,259.20. While this is a clear increase in enrollment and revenue in comparison to 2020 ($8,452.00) due to pandemic closures and limitations, this is significant increase in comparison to pre-pandemic revenue in 2019. Though enrollment numbers were similar, the increase in revenue can be credited to class fee increases, including a spike in half-day camp participation which tend to be higher in price compared to weekly classes. There was also a significant increase in academic based programs and fewer class cancellations. Senior Programs Senior Virtual Seminar The senior talk, Learn How to Maximize Your Medicare and Medi-Cal Benefits, was held on July 13 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Eight participants enrolled for this free virtual seminar via Zoom. Carlos Carillo of C&C Family Insurance Services presented on the qualification requirements of various plans, like Cal MediConnect, to help those who qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal. He also spoke about different care provider options, services and prescriptions covered by each plan, and how coordinated care works. This interactive seminar provided resources and hand-outs to each participant as well. Preserving Your Memory was hosted on August 10 via Zoom for 12 seniors. Lisa Nunn, CSC, from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health presented useful tips and brain exercises to sharpen thinking and help keep moments of forgetfulness to a minimum. Monthly Senior Drive-Thru Events City staff connects with Diamond Bar residents age 55 and older each month in a special drive thru event at the Diamond Bar Center. Each month features a themed event for a nominal or no cost. Pre-registration is required and giveaways range from resource bags to snacks and boxed lunch. National Sugar Cookie Day! – This Free! City’s sponsored drive thru took place at the Diamond Bar Center on Friday, July 9 from 12 - 2 p.m. Recreation staff handed out 81 bags and delivered 32 bags to homebound seniors throughout Diamond Bar.

Senior Virtual Bingo This Virtual Bingo program was created with seniors in mind and is a great activity that can be enjoyed from home.

There was no fee to participate, but pre-registration was required to receive a printable Bingo card and the Zoom link to join the live game. July had 12 participants and August had 14 pre-registered participants. August was cancelled due the return of in-person Bingo hosted by the Diamond Bar Senior Citizens Club on August 13. Wednesday Walkers Wednesday Walkers was introduced to the Diamond Bar senior community on July 7. Participants have the opportunity to meet with City Staff every Wednesday at 9 a.m. for a leisurely and informative walk that includes light warm-up stretches. During the walk, participants learn about the City’s senior programs and resources and enjoy a complimentary prepackaged snack and bottled water at the conclusion of each walk. Each month we explore a different park in Diamond Bar. Participants met at Pantera Park each week in July and then at Larkstone Park for the month of August. Pre- registration is required, along with a signed waiver. Senior Clubs There are five Senior Clubs that are allocated space at the Diamond Bar Center and Heritage Park Community Center for club activities. The Diamond Bar Senior Citizens Club was the first to return to in-person activities on August 16 at the Diamond Bar Center. The club meets every on Monday at 9:30 a.m. for a membership meeting and host Bingo every Monday and Friday in the Grand View Ballroom. Evergreen Senior Club, Diamond Age Seniors, and Super Diamond Age were all scheduled to return on August 23. Due to unforeseen delays with their membership, each club postponed their start date to September 7. All clubs are privately run through board and participant memberships. Mt. San Antonio Classes Mt. San Antonio College offers free courses at the Diamond Bar Center, Heritage Park and Pantera Park through the Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities Department. Courses include English as a Second Language, Drawing, Watercolor, Gardening, Sewing, Needlework, Mobile Information Technology, and fitness courses. Classes returned to in-person programming on August 23 and are quickly growing in popularity. Facility Reservations Diamond Bar Center Rentals Eight events were hosted at the Diamond Bar Center in July and August that were confirmed prior to facility closures. Those months were considered a trial period for 2.1 Packet Pg. 10 events, implementing the new Facility Rental COVID-19 Guidelines, which are in line with LA County Public Health Orders. LA County ordered a mask mandate for all indoor spaces regardless of vaccination status in mid-July. Renters for upcoming events were notified of the mask mandate and have been very flexible considering they must now require their guests to wear masks. Renters who were not keen on the idea worked very closely with Diamond Bar Center staff and supervisors to come up with alternative solutions such as hosting their event outside, or a combination of indoor and outdoor dining options, or change of date. Four out of the eight events had to adhere to the mask mandate, which will remain in place until further notice. Overall, renters were receptive to the concept to ensure a safe event for their guests. Diamond Bar Center Recreation Appointments and Tours Appointments continue to be available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. Additionally, staff has added Wednesday and Thursday evenings 5:30 – 8 p.m. and welcome walk-in inquiries during open office hours Monday thru Saturday.
