Let’s Get Acquainted with Michael Gray

by

Michael was born at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro, California in December of 1953.  Currently, he is seen every Tuesday and Thursday at the front desk of our center logging in people for lunch.

He has 3 brothers and 2 sisters and they are scattered in Oregon, Arizona, California, and Oklahoma.

Michael enjoys volunteering.  He was the Volunteer Director for a food pantry in Redondo Beach, CA for 8 ½ years.  This “Circle of Life” served food on two Saturdays and two Wednesdays a month.  They had acupressure, yoga and massage therapy on Tuesdays.  They also had “Circle of Friends with games, birthdays and home-cooked meals.

Asked what was his most interesting time was he answered that he did therapeutic massages for a dermatologist friend.  This friend practiced his dermatology on Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor.

His biggest obstacle is keeping things “on par” (even keel).

Proud of the fact that he sent a letter to ABC news to nominate a young lady to receive a $1,000 scholarship – Kool Kids.  She got it.

Words of Wisdom from Michael are “keep the faith”.  His Grandmother taught him this.

Warm weather is what Michael is looking forward to.

Let’s Get Acquainted with Jeannette Elizabeth Davison Our Thrift Store Volunteer

by

A cabbage patch in San Francisco in 1945 found a tiny little girl with 18 letters in her name.  That’s what her Grandmother told her. She was raised by her grandparents.

She has three children, Eric, Cassandra, and Desirae.

When you see her smiling face at the Senior Center, you can’t help but smile back.  What a pleasant volunteer in the Thrift Store.  She’s the one that has organized all those shelves after they were painted.  She looks forward to coming to the Senior Center every day and can find a bright spot there, no matter how dreary the day might be.  Jeannette thinks our Center is pretty cool.

When she was 32, she went back to college for two years for Early Childhood Development and then taught in pre-school.

Her biggest obstacle was self-doubt and has found that she can face them with a smile along with walking with her Lord.

Wisdom from Jeannette is “be helpful, peace in your being and a joy in your heart”.
