Elaine Lucas Senior Center

Elaine Lucas Senior Center provides recreation for anyone over 50. Located at Carolyn Crayton Park in Macon-Bibb County, this facility serves as the centerpiece of its parks and recreation department.

Her work explores issues surrounding women’s bodies and gender identities using humor, irony, and sexual euphemisms – often using cigarettes either literally as material or symbolically as an emblematic device.

Early Life and Education

Elaine was known for her incredible cooking and her welcoming hospitality; no one ever turned down an invitation into her home or heart. Additionally, Elaine held great regard for her community and would take every opportunity to give back.

Elaine was raised on a farm near Townsend MT where she learned early the value of hard work and family values as well as caring for each other.

County policies encourage employees to use social media accounts with an accompanying disclaimer that states, “Any views expressed herein are solely those of the individual and do not represent those of either their department or MBCG.” However, elected officials like Lucas and Commissioner Joe Allen are exempt from these regulations.

Professional Career

Elaine devotes much of her practice to counseling human resource managers and executives on day-to-day employee issues and steps they can take to limit employment-related litigation and claims. Additionally, she represents employers before administrative bodies such as Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Elaine made her West End stage return in 2012 in Stephen Sondheim’s Follies to critical acclaim from press and audience alike, later playing this same role on Broadway to sold out audiences.

Elaine Paige continues to make waves with her weekly BBC Radio 2 show Elaine Paige on Sunday which continues to delight listeners worldwide. Additionally, Elaine supports various charities through volunteering efforts.
