David Marshak '66 is Chairman of the Development Committee and a member of the Board of Directors of the Curry Senior Center, which serves many of San Francisco's financially challenged elders from offices in the SF Tenderloin District. David will host a lunch presentation about the initiatives that Curry undertakes on Friday, May 6th.

The Curry Senior Center was founded in 1972 "to provide services that allow seniors to live independently with health and human dignity" in San Francisco's Tenderloin and South of Market areas. Its clients are the community's neediest elders: the frail, the chronically ill, immigrants, and the addicted. These low-income seniors include recent arrivals from Southeast Asian nations (Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam); others have settled from the Philippines, China, Russia, and the Baltic States. Many reside in single-room occupancy hotel rooms without cooking facilities, and lack family, friends, or any kind of support system. As the sole resource for multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary elder care in the area, Curry Senior Center serves over 2,500 low income seniors each year. In addition to operating a full-service primary health clinic, CSC offers an array of social programs, including a community-based Primary Care Unit that provides healthcare services including home visits by physicians and nurse practitioners to homebound seniors and the Substance Abuse Program, a citywide outpatient alcohol and drug treatment program for individuals age 55 and older, which focuses on treatment and prevention, provides in-home crisis intervention, evaluation, case management, group and individual counseling, and referrals.

In addition, Community Programs are offered in 9 languages and special programs are offered for Southeast Asian seniors as well as for developmentally disabled seniors (through The Arc, SF) and senior members of the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender community (through New Leaf).

Curry Senior Center has a demonstrated track record to efficiently and effectively administer programs and deliver high quality services to San Francisco's neediest seniors. Please join us to learn more about this outstanding program.

Join other young alumni as we casually stroll among all the crazy floats, costumes and runners during the famous Bay 2 Breakers race. We'll have plenty of beverages in a communal shopping cart. Details on time and meeting place to follow.

Depending on interest, we can form a tiger catepillar and enter in the event, pushing said cart and beverages. A catepillar is a 13-person costume (in our case, a tiger). Ideally, we would meet the weekend before to construct the costume (would need someone mildly-compotent in arts and crafts).

Please email Mark Phanitsiri (mphanitsiri@gmail.com) if interested in walking the race and / or if you are interested in participating with the catepillar.
