I joined the Senior Center when my husband passed away. I was lonely and needed a boost to get myself going. It was the best medicine for me.

I had a place to go every day if I chose to, have a good lunch and meet many people. I joined ceramics and the arts and crafts class. This kept me busy with my hands and mind. I joined several clubs but best of all I volunteered to get the library in shape. I love doing this job.

All of these wonderful opportunities for a lonely widow gave me a new life and new family. Many thanks to the caring people like Carol Waldman and Joanne Senecal.
