For a small fee of $9, I got 15 weeks of lessons. For that price I signed up for 2 classes. The people that work there are kind and the people in the classes are nice and supportive also. I have learned a lot about collages and have been in 2 of the art exhibitions. A great place for seniors to get involved in different activities. Thanks to the staff at the Hannan Center from the janitor to the top administrators.

I came here for the first time last night to see a speaking engagement for the show Under the Radar…read moreon PBS. I'm not familiar with the theatre, but I really enjoyed my time here. I got an email about 2 weeks prior giving me the rundown of how things work. They let me know that there's a parking garage right across the street which was very convenient. Admittedly, the front door was hard to find but I figured it out when I saw the line to get in. Going inside the place doesn't have a bad seat in the house. Bathrooms are right there in the theatre so you don't have to miss too much of the show if you need to go. Well decorated and easy to get around. My only complaint was if someone tall's sitting in front of you it can be difficult. Seats could have been off set so you don't have to have this problem. Overall a great experience and the place is a gem.

Ok, this is kind of a late review. I used to go to the Boys Club in Royal Oak back in the late…read more1960s to the early 1970s. It was such a fantastic place. I learned model rocketry, archery, how to play pool, lots of other cool things. I was just thinking about it today because I was telling my wife I took a lapidary class there and learned how to cut and polish stones. Anyway, fast forward about 20 years to my early adulthood and I got into the optics field, and what helped me get in the door was some of the skills I learned at the Boys Club all those years before. Years later I took another job at an aerospace subcontractor, and ended up working on optical systems for several NASA missions. Among them was the phase alignment system for the James Webb Space Telescope. I got to work on so many cool projects and I was just thinking recently I can really trace it back to some things I learned at THIS boys club. I never got to thank you guys. Around the same time I was coming to the club, my dad had a heart attack when I was 10 and I spent a lot of time at that club until we moved to Florida in 1972. You guys literally saved my life during that period. I hope the people running the place now can accept my gratitude for this. And know you really serve a hugely important service in that community.

Not knowing any one i just…read morecalled the contact no mentioned in the website and spoke to Ms.Bellie Lionberger (Coordinator), she was so good in her approach, kind hearted and patient. She took me through the procedure so well and answered my calls every time i called her, it was so comfortable to get in as a volunteer. Thanks to Ms.Bellie. I was at the Third Street, i volunteered to help in the Kitchen serving the Clients Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, also helped in Cleaning the vessels, stocking items, clearing stock etc., The Kitchen Specialist - James and Mike are very hardworking and sincere, they are very good in preparing the food and very kind and supportive. The Supervisor - Ms.Dukes is another very kind hearted and patient person i came across, she would make sure everything is in place and even speak to Clients if there were any concerns. She always had a word of appreciation for everyone who did their job. I could see the responsibility she would take, may be even mobing the floor i have seen her doing it without blaming anyone or any complaints. She has also come to the Kitchen and helped serval times. Once i had informed her about a leak in the refrigerator, she immediately called for the service and ensured this was fixed. This something we all need to learn from, she is a good example how to get things fixed immediately. Ms.Juanita, the case manager, another very Kind hearted person i came across, she would come to the Kitchen to Help us when ever she finds the time and she is some one we all should learn from. Finally the Director - Mr.Samuel Fields, a true man of God!, i loved his sermons, his singing and sharing the word of God, So awesome... this makes me feel to come back every weekend to serve. Mr.Samuel is a down to earth Gentleman who is so humble and listens to everyone and even for the smallest issue he puts himself in to make sure we are all supported. A Great Team Work, As a Director he is respected by every one by his actions. I spent 8 days and all days were special at this site. I am happy to share this review as i see everyone, right from the entrance doing their jobs sincerely. This Site is truly blessed! Even the Clients are happy to come here as i have even spoken to some of them and they have spoken so high about this Site, its service, the food and people. Everyone is so humble and kind. Hats off to this team - DRMM, Third Street !!!
