“Some members came up to me and they said, ‘I got so emotional just doing a yoga class and looking out in the courtyard,’” Walters said. “They would come here at least three to five times a week to do so. And it’s been so long since they’ve been able to do that.”
For the soiree, as with all current LJCC activities, proof of COVID-19 vaccination was required for entrance, with masks required inside the building and capacity limited.
Though the state lifted capacity limits and most mask mandates June 15, Walters said the center will maintain its restrictions “at the moment … just because of the demographic we serve” (adults and senior citizens).
