Attitude first place and a two timing junkie, couldn't believe the audacity of the initial interference and the fact that they're currently the best place to escape from negativity. I sincerely hope you do no hire that KIND OF PERSON AGAIN. I found the standards are beautifully net with community members snd structure created by thd older people, who appreciate the opportunity and time together. Not impressed however receiving their attitude as if we have to navigate through individuals who have no respect or boundaries, but always so willing to JUDGE EVERYONE ELSE.

Home for many free and worthy LGBTQ causes, staff is always friendly and working hard. Non profits can book space for activities benefitting the community for free or at a low cost.

Excellent communication. I like it because there are people who help you if you don't know English, and there are also very good Spanish-speaking staff. I recommend it.
