I had already been working with the VA on a few matters, and then I heard about OCVSO. Everyone…read morewas pleasant to work with. Every single employee was interested in what I had to say and probed deeper to get a better understanding of my situation. All my appointments were virtual, not because of COVID, but because it was actually easier and just as effective to be on the phone with them with my laptop open, ready to correspond as needed. I saw absolutely zero reason to be there in person. At times, outside of appointments, I would make one-off calls for 2-3 minutes, just to get clarity on a pending matter, and instead of deferring me to the 'future appointment' they would actually take a minute to give me guidance. The wait times weren't too bad - sometimes I waited 2 weeks for an appointment, while other times it was 2-3 months...outside of their control. If they could effectively train the guy who answers calls on how to communicate (he's a nice guy, just had an edge sometimes), they'd be a perfect place. I want to especially commend Marlena and Nancy who treated me like I was a brother, cousin or uncle. I felt cared for and loved by them, without sensing any ounce of pretentiousness. Overall, I'm extremely grateful for their heartfelt guidance.

I drove out to this lodge on a Wednesday for a seminar and the parking lot is really big and clean…read more This place is a private organization and you either need a key card or they have to buzz you in. This place has a full bar and plenty of seating and they play bingo there. I was in the conference room where we had our seminar at, we usually have a buffet style lunch, but since the meeting was on a holiday and only about 14 of us showed up they just had us order from the menu and almost everyone ordered something different and we each only paid $20.00 for the lunch and the three hour seminar. They have this seminar every month there on the third Wednesday at 11:00 The area we were in also has a stage and a couple of projection screens. This place is near the Freeway., I usually have to work so I am not able to make it there. The seminar is open to anyone, it is about electrical safety. I highly recommend this to everyone. I w

I've been here a few times. I was first introduced to it through my associations with the NCNW. I went over, saw they had an extensive selection of resources to use for some research I was doing, went back and used the resources, then forgot about it for a while. I came upon it again during a Black History L.A. tour. We then had a talk by some of the very prolific organizers who help manage the Center. It was great! But then I forgot about it again-- --until my Pan-African doctoral support group had an event there. It's been on radar every since. They have Kwanzaa history events there in December, Black film studies there periodically, social news panels there periodically, etc. It really is a great place, but the marketing keeps it off radar.

I called him EVERY SINGLE DAY, and he NEVER PICK UP the phone, i send emails, he NEVER REPLY EMAILS! finally, he picked the phone, and he told me to be positive that he will give me the CDs, oh well, i was positive enough to wait for 2 months. Am i not positive enough? i should get my CDs be the end of Feb, but now is April, and i still dont have it. After 10000000000 times of phone calls, after i went over to the shop 3 times, i still dont get the CDs. NEVER TRUST HIM, DONT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE.

This was one of the most disorganized game night events that I ever attended. It was held at Epic…read moreEvent Center on 9/11 and all tables that I could see were reserved. It was my first time attending an event by this promoter and it was overcrowded and she appeared to oversell the event. There was no where to sit since everyone had reserved tables. Why are tables even reserved for a game night? We should be able to freely move around to any table to play the games. I spoke to the promoter during the night to ask about available seating and she advised me to check the patio. It was a hot night, over 80 degrees out and no seats even available on the outside/hot patio. I left the event. I paid money like everyone else to play games, but with no seat, how was that supposed to happen? This set up does not allow you to mingle with others while playing the games. I will never support this event again. She needs to plan this better. The venue also seemed too small. Save your money and support a business that actually provides what they advertise! I agree with some of the other comments, with it being just a money grab. I would like a refund!
