On behalf of the City of Alameda Recreation and Park Department and Mastick Senior Center, we would like to thank the artists who participated in the 42nd Annual Holiday Boutique held at the Albert H. DeWitt Officers' Club on November 5 & 6, 2022.

A portion of the proceeds will support and benefit the Leisure Club, a program designed to meet the social and recreational needs of adults with developmental disabilities in our community.

If you are age 50+ and/or know of someone who is, then read on for exciting programs that Mastick Senior Center offers!  Membership is FREE and REQUIRED to participate in Mastick programs.  Stop by the Mastick Lobby (Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) or call 510-747-7500 to become a member or renew your membership.
