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.

November Greeting ![]()
As we step into November, I find myself reflecting on gratitude — the simple, powerful act of recognizing the good in our lives and in one another. This time of year reminds us how much kindness matters. It’s often said that hurt people hurt people, and that’s true — we never fully know what someone is going through. A little grace, patience, and understanding can make the world a much gentler place.![]()
November is also a time to bring awareness to health and wellness. It’s Diabetes Awareness Month and COPD Awareness Month, both important reminders of how vital it is to take care of ourselves and one another. Small choices — a walk, a healthy meal, a kind word — can make a big difference.![]()
As the holidays approach, let’s focus on healthy eating, staying active, and celebrating the joy of community. We encourage everyone to stop by the Klamath Basin Senior Center — visit with friends, join a class, or just come say hi. Family and friendship are the heart of everything we do here.![]()
I am deeply grateful for our patrons, volunteers, and staff who make this Center such a special place. Thank you for the kindness, laughter, and love you bring to our community every day.![]()
Wishing you all a warm, healthy, and grateful November.![]()
With appreciation,![]()
