Just as baby boomers are hitting their 60s and a bad economy has vaporized retirement accounts, San Diego's Senior Community Centers is unveiling a new model for a senior center.
Today, the nonprofit group will announce a $3 million grant from the Rancho Santa Fe-based Gary and Mary West Foundation that will allow it to buy a downtown San Diego building to replace its cramped lunch center on Broadway.
The goal is to create a model that can be adopted nationally, with a focus on educating seniors about health issues and computers and linking them with volunteer positions.

WASHINGTON — The late-night comedians love to needle AARP as the unflagging advance team for senility. They're the folks who send the dreaded membership invite when you hit 50, an otherwise sunny reminder that you're well on your way to that last roundup.
David Letterman, for one, suggested that Sylvester Stallone's latest geriatric version of Rambo should qualify for "an AARP discount on ammo." The AARP debate was like others, Conan O'Brien observed, "except the moderator asked the same question over and over."
