Important Senior Center Updates
New Masking & Vaccination Verification Information
With Los Angeles County now in the low community risk level, guidelines for masking and vac-
cine verification have been updated. The City of Culver City is aligned with the County of Los
Angeles Public Health Department’s requirements for masking. Indoor masking is now strongly
recommended, but not required, for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in public settings
and businesses. This includes City facilities and the Culver City Senior Center. In addition, the
City Council decided at its meeting on March 14, 2022 to rescind the City’s COVID-19 vaccine
verification requirements.
Please note that vaccination against COVID-19 is still required to become a member of the
IMPORTANT SENIOR CENTER UPDATES
Culver City Senior Citizens Association Inc. (CCSCA) and therefore is required to participate
in CCSCA classes, events and programs at the Culver City Senior Center.
Public Health encourages residents to assess their personal and family risks when deciding
whether to wear a mask. In deciding, individuals should consider:
• Are there individuals in the household who have underlying health conditions that create
elevated risk for severe illness from COVID?
• Are there unvaccinated family members in the household including young children not yet
eligible for vaccines?
• Does anyone in the household work in a setting with vulnerable individuals at elevated risk
of severe illness from COVID?
Newsletter Mailing Only For 2022 CCSCA Members
Please note that beginning in July 2022, only current 2022 CCSCA members will receive the
monthly newsletter in the mail. If you are not a current member it will be available online. We
look forward to seeing you at the Center!
If you would like to be taken off the newsletter mailing list or are receiving multiple copies of
the newsletter and would like to edit your monthly newsletter preferences, please email
