 The Center 

...your hard work is worth it. You are helping seniors to enjoy their 'retirement' years while learning and growing.  I speak for so many friends that write, paint, exercise and attend the talks at our wonderful WCSA. We are not just living but thriving.  What fun you provide. 
-Quote from a Center participant.

The Westport Center for Senior Activities (WCSA) originated in the Bedford Room of the Westport/Weston YMCA in its downtown location back in 1973. The WCSA operated primarily as a drop-in center. In 1985, the WCSA outgrew its space and moved to the vacant Greens Farms School.  When the Greens Farms School was reclaimed in 1998 for school purposes, the WCSA moved to a temporary location in Staples High School.

In 2004, the town’s efforts to establish a permanent facility became a reality.  The current building was built on the Baron’s South property, 21 Imperial Avenue. In 2018 enhancements and expansion of the Center included upgrades, additional program and meeting space, a state of the art fitness room, additional parking spaces and many amenities.  

Today, the Center is a well-respected facility and is looked upon by other communities and professionals as the model for a successful and thriving senior center.The WCSA is a hub of activity with over 2,500 participants 60+ years of age.

Roberta Delano

After earning a BA in Psychology from the University of Rochester and an MBA from Boston University, Roberta built a successful career in Human Resources, specializing in Compensation. In 1995, a job transfer brought her from Boston to Connecticut, where she has lived ever since. Her journey into Argentine Tango began with a class at the downtown Westport YMCA—where she met her husband. This first step led to numerous trips to Buenos Aires, wonderful friends and inspired her to bring Argentine Tango to the Westport Center for Senior Activities (WCSA), where she continues to assist with classes.

In recent years, Roberta has focused on her art, regularly exhibiting her paintings at various local venues. She first came to WCSA to help with a Parkinson’s Boxing class and now finds herself joyfully immersed in tango, stained glass, yoga, and more. Roberta is thrilled to serve on the WCSA Board and contribute to this vibrant and supportive community.

 

Jane Roedel

Jane is a world traveler, an RN, a bingo enthusiast, and a proud grandma!

Born in Jersey, British Isles, Jane’s journey has taken her through Gibraltar, Spain, the Caribbean, and eventually the U.S. After a sunny stint in Key West, she swapped flip-flops for snow boots and spent 30 years in Montana.

Two years ago, she traded mountains for Compo Beach, moving to Norwalk to be closer to her daughter, son-in-law, and two lively granddaughters who keep her young and jer calendar full  

Jane joined the WCSA for lunch and bingo, and soon began volunteering—serving meals and making fast friends along the way. That experience inspired her to take a bigger role by joining the Board of the Friends of WCSA.
