“Life’s Journey of Remembrance” Publication

The most common reasons for writing are to express yourself, to analyze, to inform, entertain, and persuade. Sometimes your writing will combine several purposes. Some writing that you do for yourself is practical such as filling out forms and writing letters of complaint. Other self-prompted writing you will do simply because you enjoy it. This type of writing includes poems, journal entries, personal memories, reminiscences, and “just for fun” topics of interest.

Everyone is an individual. You think and act in ways that are uniquely your own, as we each have our own “voice”. As you write you discover what you think about yourself – and the world around you which is different for everyone. This is one of the main reasons why I enjoy teaching this class so much. The diversity inspires me and hopefully will inspire you as we go on this great adventure together.

I am proud to introduce a collection of writings by the students of the Fall 2023 Creative Writing Workshop at the Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Center in Klamath Falls, OR.

Serving the Klamath Community through Meals on Wheels

A knock at the door might not seem like a big deal to many of us. But, to a homebound senior, it could signal the arrival of the only person they might see all day or all week long. It brings hope. It brings health. It brings the nutrition and care that will completely make their day. We can’t do it alone. It takes all of us to keep the meals on wheels movement going. Call the Senior Center at 541-883-7171 to become a volunteer today!

If you or someone you know is in need of Meals on Wheels, please register with the Klamath Lake Counties Council on Aging by calling 541-205-5400.

Chair Pilates starts October 7th!Chair Pilates is an adaptable form of exercise that incorporates the principles of traditional Pilates but is performed using a chair as a support. This makes it accessible for individuals of all fitness levels and is particularly beneficial for those who may have mobility challenges or are new to exercise. Chair Pilates is a low impact exercise and therefore is easy on the joints, making it suitable for people with arthritis or other joint issues. This class will encourage:1. Improved Core Strength: Chair Pilates focuses on exercises that engage your core muscles, helping to develop strength and stability.2. Enhanced Flexibility: By incorporating stretching movements, chair Pilates can improve flexibility and range of motion.3. Increased Balance and Coordination: The exercises often involve maintaining balance while performing movements, which can enhance overall coordination.4. Restore Posture: By targeting specific muscle groups to strengthen and stretch muscles that support the spineThis class offers standing and seated options. We will incorporate the use of props such as fitness circles and small weights to encourage muscle and bone building.
