Many have made more friends through their participation in our events and activities and some of them have even joined the SCEC as volunteers to serve the community. We are very encouraged and touched by their support. We look forward to continue to do our part for the community, and strive to ensure our Senior Citizens lead a healthy life, both mentally and physically. Thank You!”
