When asked what she likes about going to the South Pasadena Senior Center, Saichiko explained "It's like a school kid likes playing with a friend."

She goes on to explain that she believes that when you're older, happiness is based on human relationships. Researchers believe this too.

According to research presented at a convention of the American Psychological Association, in addition to living a healthy lifestyle and managing health conditions, it’s important for seniors to remain socially active. Relationships with friends and family members play a big role in promoting quality of life.

“I’m just a volunteer and help any way I can.” Volunteers are the lifeblood of the South Pasadena community, and we’re lucky to have Liz Giffen-Glad on our Board. She went from leading the Book Group at the South Pasadena Senior Center to serving as a Commissioner to helping start the Foundation. The long-term impact of her efforts are truly immeasurable. ⭐
