Intergenerational Crafting

(Click on a photo to see a larger image.)

In January our arts and crafts instructor, Gitana the Creative Diva, was awarded a grant by the Department of Cultural Affairs to continue the senior crafting program at DSCC. In order to fulfill the grant requirement of community outreach and participation, we partnered with a fourth grade class at PS 119K, The Amersfort School, to create a display for the school's annual global expo. The focus of study was Kenya, an African country which has, among its many attributes, a thriving floral export industry. Since Dorchester's seniors had already spent some time creating flowers, that was one of the elements we focused on for our crafting experience. The students came to the center and were divided into three groups. One group cut large monstera leaves, others joined the seniors to create chrysanthemums and the third group worked with center director JoAnne Biswakarma to create headbands and bracelets in needlepoint that imitated the ornate beadwork that the Maasai people of Kenya are known for. 25 fourth graders, 8 seniors, and two group facilitators equaled a very hectic atmosphere but to their credit the young students were very well behaved and took instructions well. In an hour and a half we created some beautiful flowers, leaves and needlework.

The following week we visited the students in their classroom to continue the crafting of the display elements. In their own environment the students were much more rambunctious. Nonetheless lots of work was accomplished and the display elements were completed and ready for final assembly. Here you can see a photo of the final display as it appeared on exhibit at the schoolwide global expo on June 14, 2011. All of the elements (with the exception of the photographs and mandated disclaimers) were created by the students with final assembly done by Gitana.

This exhibit is currently on display at the Dorchester Senior Citizens Center through the summer and is available for public viewing. In addition there is a permanent display of the other crafts made by the seniors that is also open to the public. Please call the center at 718-941-6700 for hours of operation and come on by. We'd love to see you.

Our next bus trip in June is to Staten Island's Wolfe's Pond Park, a lovely quiet and shaded spot by the shore.

Dorchester Center Puts On It's Spring Colors

2011-04-28T22:42:00.000-07:00

The warmer weather couldn't come soon enough for the members of Dorchester Senior Center and decorating for the season has been a work in progress for several weeks already. The colorful garlands and bows of the December holidays gave way to the reds of Valentine's Day in February and the greens of St. Patrick's Day in March. April has seen the room bloom in shades of orange and pink in the form of pretty paper lanterns and over-sized crysanthemum cutouts.

The Thursday afternoon crafting class created a number of projects that featured flowers and butterflies as decorative elements including two sessions in which they crafted three dimensional flowers on stems. Their instructor, Gitana the Creative Diva, used all these handmade flowers to create a unique focal decoration for the center's main activity and dining room. She crafted a window box out of foam core boards and wrapping paper and arranged the flowers inside the box so they appeared to be growing directly out of it.

In the above pictures you can see the flower making class being led by Gitana, the class members showing off their completed flowers and the window box as it appears mounted on the wall soffit. There's also a shot of the decorations taken from a distance so you can see what the whole room looks like decked out in its spring wardrobe. At right is a detail shot of the window box as it appeared before being placed on the wall.

As pretty as this room looks now, it's still not quite done. A few more flowers and some butterflies flitting about will round out the decor and really warm up the atmosphere. Spring is here!

Crazy Weather

2011-03-01T13:24:00.000-08:00

The winter of 2010-2011 proved to be more than anyone expected in terms of snow accumulation. Our first blast of winter's fury hit the northeastern corridor on December 26, 2010, dumping anywhere from 12 to 32 inches of snow depending on the area. In our neck of the woods in Brooklyn, New York, the snowfall average was about 18 inches, enough to create havoc on our day to day activities. This was promptly followed by another storm on January 11 and then another one on January 27. Our members made the best of the situation, many of them braving the elements to show up at their favorite social gathering spot. One of our neighbors built a snowman on their front lawn and Rosa Solari & Nilda Rivera took the opportunity to pose with it. Although the extreme weather did require the closing of the center for several days, we were back in operation in short order, Mother Nature notwithstanding.

Singing Swingers

2011-02-24T13:58:00.000-08:00

Our center is fortunate enough to count a number of talented singers among our members. These vocal virtuosos have gathered together into a choral group that travels around to other senior centers and nursing homes around Brooklyn, entertaining and spreading joy to all who have the good fortune to hear them.

The group was originally formed as an activity for blind, visually challenged and sighted members of Dorchester Senior Citizens Center. Due to its increasing popularity, its membership has grown over the years and today it boasts around 30 members. Many of these singers have been members in the group for at least fifteen years. They meet once a week to rehearse.

This group is so well received by the centers that have hosted them that they are frequently requested to return for additional performances. Donations are always welcome so if you're inclined to support this wonderful activity, please contact JoAnne Biswakarma, director of Dorchester Senior Citizens Center.

Their upcoming performances are:

March 29, 2011, 10:30am - Midwood Senior Center, 4815 Avenue I, Brooklyn, NY

May 10, 2011, 10:30am - Sephardic Home for the Aged, 2266 Cropsey Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

This program is made possible with public funds from the Decentralization Program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered in Kings County by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc. (BAC).

The days may be getting shorter, but Dorchester has been getting brighter and brighter, with September's Red Day and October's Orange Day.

Color days at Dorchester

2010-08-25T07:50:00.000-07:00

Dorchester offers a variety of fun activities that let you express your creativity to the fullest. We began this summer with a continued tradition at Dorchester. We choose a certain day to all dress in the same color. This July we chose the color to be yellow like the sizzling sun. To be honest we didn't think it would be this much of a success, but our members really enjoyed it. Most of our members participated and we had lots of fun. We even ran a contest for the most creative outfit. This August we chose the color blue like the bright summer sky. Once again, we ran a contest with prizes. It was a delightful experience to all our members and staff.

"Those Guys" at Dorchester.

2010-08-12T10:16:00.000-07:00

On August 6th, 2010 Dorchester featured an amazing performance by a high school band,"Those Guys". This event was set up by our summer volunteers and our staff. This was a very enjoyable experience for all of our members. The band sang acoustically to a few modern songs, such as "After Tonight" by Justin Nozuka, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, and a few originals, "See the Light" and "Beat of the Drum." They say, music brings us together. Which is why our members decided to kick it with our open mic. Our very own Marty Zlott sang a couple of lovely songs. Our Senior Idol winner Rufus Stoute also decided to show off his skills, and was accompanied by Roman Drevinskiy on the piano. We had snacks and refreshments, and a bit of confetti to bring up the mood even more. Big thanks to "Those Guys" for performing at our center. We wish to have you again!'

Happy to say that nobody lost their shirt at Mt. Airy Casino. In fact, some of us did rather well!!

SUNY Downstate RN Classes

2010-07-21T14:11:00.000-07:00

It's important to know that people care. And people do. Our center provides the needed attention and care that everybody deserves. For the past three summers we've been working with SUNY Downstate RN classes to help educate our members about their health and how to stay healthy. We've got about 5 workshop days each summer and they've been a great success. The nurses come in to do several presentations such as the effects of smoking, fast food and lack of exercise. They also take everyone's blood pressure and discuss personal health problems with each individual who is interested. Don't worry about being shy, or scared to reveal your medical history to the world. We've got it covered. The consultations are done in private, one by one. Dorchester believes that this is an amazing opportunity to have a chat with a nurse, one on one. Not only can everyone benefit from such visits, they can also fulfill their curiosity about how to care for themselves, what food to eat, what to avoid. We're hoping to continue working with the wonderful staff and their RN students for many years to come.

You can always throw some fun into it!

Cakes at Dorchester

2010-07-19T11:36:00.001-07:00

Dorchester Center is not only a fun place to relax, but it is also a great place to eat. Oh, believe me on this one. Not only do we serve great homemade Kosher food, we also have Kosher cakes for all occasions! Birthdays, Anniversarys, Mother's Day, you name it! Our center pre-orders delicious cakes that look like works of art. Here are some of the cakes we previously had. We had to snap pictures fast, because everyone is always eager to taste them. Come to our center and you can get a slice too!

Summer Volunteers at Dorchester!

2010-07-19T11:10:00.000-07:00

This summer 5 volunteers and 2 SYEP members joined our center. They are all teenage girls named Tiffany Chong, Scarlet Gonon, Sabina Vafeva, Viktoriya Tsoy, Nargiza Babaeva, Cheranne Clermont and Fiza Khan. They're here to improve our center and help you anytime. We work with them to re-organize closets, decorate our dining room and other arts and crafts projects to make this place more exciting. With them we came up with new ideas and new events for our senior members. Do you like shopping at a thift store? Well now, we have one of our own. The volunteers helped set up The Dorchester Shop that now sells donated clothes to our seniors. Speaking of which, our center is open for any clothing donations that you may have. We also came up with a list of upcoming events that the members seem to really look forward to. This includes another Senior Idol, Movie Days, Mix and Match days and other fun contests that let our members express themselves and win prizes. The girls are also here to help you. Need a glass of water? No problem. This is just to say that Dorchester is filled with friendly people and staff that are here to make your day more enjoyable. So what are you waiting for? Pay us a visit, its free.

Trips to Governor's Island

2010-07-06T05:16:00.000-07:00

Last summer we filled a bus on two successive Fridays for trips to Governor's Island, which is reached via a short free ferry ride from lower Manhattan. Our members enjoyed exploring the island as well as the beautiful weather, and spectacular views of lower Manhattan. We were able to view the Statue of Liberty and enjoy a nice lunch. Governor's Island also offers free bicycle rentals on Fridays, so those who dare can give that a try. Seeing that our members enjoyed the trip, we decided to visit again this year.

Dorchester's Anniversary Party

2010-06-29T17:30:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to our Senior Center! With all your help and support we just turned 37! We had our annual celebration of Dorchester's founding back in 1973. Yes, it has actually been 37 years. Our members just keep coming back, and we welcome them with open arms. To celebrate our anniversary we hosted a party. Dorchester invited our very friendly DJ Mario, who got just about everyone dancing. Even those who are normally very attached to their seat left it for a good dance or two. We had delicious food, great decorations and the members themselves created a wonderful atmosphere. That sure was a party to remember. With such great feedback, we're hoping to last 37 more years and 37 more after that, and so on. Dorchester hopes to continue working with you to be the place that you'll love to return to every day.

Arts and Crafts

2010-06-08T06:45:00.000-07:00

Our center provides activities that everyone can enjoy. Our art loving future Picassos love the Arts and Crafts sessions, with our teacher Gitana. She is not called "The Creative Diva" for nothing, I tell you. She had our members make cards for all occasions, and even the least artistic of us created something we enjoyed. The technique she uses is very different. And it makes our members proud to make things that you will not see on any store shelf. Gitana also helped us to create paper and pen holders, boxes to hold your possesions and other wonderful hand-made crafts that members get to take home and share with their families. Believe me, once you see a finished product you'll think your eyes are fooling you. So, come on down and see for yourself. Gitana returns in September; we hope to see you then.

Senior American Idol Contest

2010-05-25T06:44:00.000-07:00

Did you ever want to show off your talents? Well our seniors sure did! The Dorchester Center hosted our first ever Senior American Idol Contest, and it was a big success. For this shy bunch, nine brave souls decided to entertain us. We came to the conclusion that with age, people start to lose hair or their eyesight or whatnot, but judging from our contest no one lost their singing abilities. They each sang acapella and everyone did a great job. We had two fair judges, and we promise there was no Simon Cowell or anyone that could come close to him. We also let the audience clap for the singer they loved most, and counted the applause as a third judge. The winner was our very own Rufus Stoute! But to us, everyone was a winner. We're hoping to host more similar contests, and we hope you join us for the next one.

Service Fraternity/Sorority Visitors

2010-04-23T06:47:00.000-07:00

Our center is very community friendly. And our community gives back. A very kind service fraternity and sorority from Monroe and Hunter colleges visited our center and helped us clean out our closets. Although we do have a staff that takes care of everything- we're always in need of helping hands. These young ladies and gentlemen made lots of effort to make our center a better place. We appreciate that you guys took the time to help us out.

Winter Holidays at Dorchester

2010-03-02T06:21:00.000-08:00

During winter behind the doors of Dorchester, there's nothing but warm smiles and holiday spirit. We choose to bring traditions together as we celebrate. Therefore, we prepare holiday lunch for our diverse cultures. This winter, we had a fantastic time during our Korean, Chinese and Hannukah meals. Prepared by our lunch staff and members, we enjoyed a variety of different foods such as the latkas (potatoes), Korean noodles and much more. Our holiday decorations added a touch of joy to our welcoming setting. This is why Dorchester is the warmest place to be on such cold days.

Hong Kong Supermarket Trip

2009-11-19T06:10:00.000-08:00

At our center we let people take pride in who they are. That's why we celebrate many traditions and cultures. Today for example we visited the Hong Kong Supermarket, the largest Chinese supermarket in Brooklyn. We've found some foods that we might have never even heard of before. I mean would anyone like some Lingchi Osmanthus Honey Beverage? Or how about some Sambal Oelek? Well when you do have a craving for some exotic foods join us on our celebration of many cultures that exist in our center, and the world.

High School Volunteers

2009-10-08T14:30:00.000-07:00

Our center welcomes 3 high school community service volunteers this fall! Farah Reza, Jane Abeuova and Joe Santangelo are students at Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences. They are helping to decorate the center and designing arts and crafts projects for our seniors.

This summer we had 3 additional high school volunteers. Dawa Sherpa and Christine Altheim both served as computer instructors for our lab and also updated our databases. Tamar Davis worked with our members on arts & crafts projects. We are very appreciative of their help to our center!

AARP Bulletin

2009-10-08T14:00:00.000-07:00

Dorchester Senior Center got a mention in the October 2009 issue of AARP Bulletin! The blurb talks about how Brooklyn senior centers have participated in a pilot program to use NYC school buses for food shopping trips. At Dorchester, we have used school buses to go to Trader Joe's, the Union Square Green Market, and food stores in areas such as Brighton Beach, Rego Park and Staten Island. Our next trip in November is to the Chinese Market area in Brooklyn!

Trip to South Street Seaport Museum

2009-06-24T07:22:00.000-07:00

Dorchester Senior Citizen's Center took a trip to South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan. First, we went to the mall area filled with lots of stores and a food court. Around the seaport, there were many outdoor cafes and discount designer clothes stores. Everyone went their own way, browsing and shopping as they liked.

Next, we visited the South Street Seaport Museum. Two sailing ships were open to the public. Inside were logs filled with interesting entries. Each ship had a story to tell with the relics they left behind. We enjoyed our trip to South Street Seaport, and we look forward to more exciting trips like this in the future!

2009-06-10T07:15:00.000-07:00

Dorchester Senior Citizen's Center took a shopping trip to Trader Joe's today. We went to the location in Manhattan on 14th Street. Coming from Brooklyn, it was nice to travel to Manhattan for a change of scenery. Trader Joe's had a big selection of organic and healthy foods. "Being exposed to this type of market will help keep [everyone] healthy in the long run," commented Marilyn, our trip leader. The trip was well attended, and we hope to make trips to Trader Joe's in the future!

Volunteer's Day Award Lunch

2009-05-19T08:48:00.000-07:00

Every year, Dorchester Senior Citizen's Center celebrates Volunteer's Day with a big lunch.

This year, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz visited. We were very excited to have him at our center. Galina, our activities coordinator, made sure to have her picture taken with the Borough President, which we have posted here on our blog.

Next, our volunteers at the center were individually awarded with certificates and a Dorchester baseball cap. JoAnne Biswakarma, our director, gave a speech, mentioning, "Our volunteers ARE Dorchester. We cannot work without you." Over 60 members received certificates!

Throughout the year, many of our members help us run the center. Today is the day that we celebrate their efforts. We are glad that our special lunch was a success!

Brooklyn Botanical Gardens Trip

2009-04-28T07:29:00.000-07:00

Dorchester Senior Citizens Center went on a trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the dogwood trees were beautiful. Most surprising was the different colored tulips. There was Japanese entertainment, dancing and music. The costumes worn were very bright and colorful. The day was warm and the aroma from the flowers was delightful. We were fortunate to have such good weather for our trip!

Tai Chi - For Relaxation, Balance and Strength

2009-03-27T03:05:00.000-07:00

A series of six weekly Tai Chi classes was offered at the Dorchester Senior Citizen's Center, beginning on February 26th. Our final class will be on Thursday, April 2nd, from 11 AM to 12 Noon.

E. Frederic Mirer, our instructor, led the series of six classes, from Cheng Man Ch'ing's form, "Grasp Sparrow's Tail." All of our members that participated in the Tai Chi class found it very helpful for relaxation, balance, and strength. During the class, we learned that these benefits of Tai Chi help seniors stay healthy and young.

More information about our instructor's Tai Chi method can be found at the Patience Tai Chi Association website:

Jokesercise

2009-02-25T11:21:00.000-08:00

Last week, the exercise class had a fun time with Howard Newman, who is a comedian and a exercise instructor all in one! During the exercise session, he intertwined jokes with exercise, and everyone participated. We were all in stitches at Howard's jokes, which were very similar to Jackie Mason and Henny Youngman. It was a win-win situation for all -- the center had a wonderful comedian who kept us laughing and we also became healthy with the exercise. We learned that it's true, when they say "Laughter is the best medicine!"

Black History Month

2009-02-24T03:04:00.000-08:00

Black History Month was celebrated today with a special lunch, entertainment, and a presentation. Our special lunch featured crispy baked chicken legs, braised cabbage, baked sweet potatoes, cornbread, fresh fruit and juice. This delicious lunch was cooked for us by our regular cooking staff.

We had entertainment from a member of our center, who sang the Negro National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," composed in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson. After that, we had a member speak about various accomplishments of African Americans, such as inventors, writers, and our new president, Barack Obama. We all had a good time while learning about a part of our nation's history.

Korean Special Lunch

2009-02-19T03:03:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, we had a special lunch to celebrate Korean Day. Three of our Korean members supervised our cooks in the kitchen, along with our Korean staff member, Soonja Kim. Our lunch menu consisted of yam noodles, beef, spinach, and carrots with sesame oil, and bean salad and rice and soy sauce on the side.

All in all, everyone had a marvelous time eating an ethnic food that many of our seniors have not had the opportunity to try before.

Chinese New Year

2009-02-10T10:36:00.000-08:00

A few our Chinese seniors led us in our annual celebration of Chinese New Year on Tuesday, February 3rd. They volunteered to supervise the preparation of an authentic Chinese dinner for everyone. The menu included sweet and sour chicken with pineapple, vegetable fried rice and chicken corn soup. The chicken was really good, and the soup was extra creamy!

Our decorations were in tune with the Chinese New Year. We had red and gold garlands streamed throughout the center. Our members look forward to this festival every year. And boy, did everyone have a good time!

Presidental Inauguration

2009-01-20T08:18:00.000-08:00

Today, we are watching President Obama's inauguration on TV. Everyone at the center is very excited about this important event.

Our choral group, the Singing Swingers, sang patriotic songs to celebrate the event. We finished our songs with the National Anthem. We are all excited to be sharing this moment together at the senior center. Fira, our Russian ESL teacher, is also discussing the inauguration in her class.

We are very proud to have a center with a diverse group of people, coming together to watch history in the making.

Volunteering at Dorchester

2008-12-10T08:50:00.000-08:00

Hello! My name is Neesa Sunar, and I am a volunteer at Dorchester Senior Citizens Center. My mother, JoAnne Biswakarma, is the director of the center, so I come here a lot during my free time to help out. I do a bunch of things while I'm here: putting together furnture, hooking up computers, occasional go-foring. I enjoy the freedom I have as a volunteer. I can help out by doing filing, but I can also exercise my leadership skills and form a class. Currently, I lead our choral group, the Singing Swingers (pictured at left, I'm at the piano!).

Many of the members of the Singing Swingers are blind or visually impared. This is one of the activities we have at Dorchester that is part of our affiliation with Visions, an organization that provides services to visually impared seniors. It's really nice to see the blind and those who see alike get along fabuluously and sing songs. The group gets incredibly lively! Pictured above is the time we performed at Thanksgiving Dinner! The singers dressed up in matching Yellow T-shirts, and we sang three songs: "You are my Sunshine," "Singin' In The Rain," and a final Thanksgiving prayer, "Let There Be Peace On Earth." We were lucky enough to have Nancy Miller from Visions visit us during our dinner too! She is pictured at the far left, sitting at the table. She knew some of the members, and it was nice to see the relationship she had with members of our center.

Our group is now singing songs for the Holiday season. We will be singing at our upcoming Holiday Party, on December 23rd, 2008 at 12:45 PM. Seniors and non-seniors alike are welcome to join us!
