CLUB KIKU:
A Monthly Haven for Seniors in Our Community
In the San Diego Japanese American community lies a haven, where laughter echoes, stories are shared, and friendships blossom. Club Kiku, a once-a-month gathering designed exclusively for seniors, offers a respite from the routine and a chance to celebrate the golden years in style. There is no specific age requirement, only that “if you consider yourself a senior, you are a senior!”
Named after the Japanese chrysanthemum, symbolizing longevity and joy, Club Kiku embodies the spirit of vitality and camaraderie. Every third Wednesday of the month, seniors from diverse backgrounds gather in a social hall (at Pioneer Ocean View United Church of Christ in Clairemont), transforming it into a vibrant hub of activity and connection.
But perhaps the most cherished aspect of Club Kiku is the sense of belonging it fosters. Here, age is merely a number, and everyone is warmly welcomed. Whether you are a seasoned attendee or a first-time visitor, you are sure to be greeted with smiles and meet new friends. Each gathering begins at 10:00 am and ends by 1:30 pm, however attendees are free to stay for all or part of the day. There is a “Koffee Klatch” time at the beginning and a delicious Asian-themed lunch at noon, so there is plenty of time for conversation.
