Reader’s View: Senior Center programs are something to look forward to – duxburyclipper.com

This past fall, I signed up for my first Life Long Learning class at the Senior Center, The Poetry of Mary Oliver. The class was filled with over 40 participants. We all enjoyed reading and discussing poetry while being educated and led by Rev. Dr. Catherine Cullen and Program Staff member, Andrea Brandeis. It was wonderful! After completing this course, I decided to sign up for another poetry class for the winter/spring session entitled, Poets Corner, led by Peter Trenouth. Three weeks into the course, the pandemic hit. The class was continued via Zoom. I had never used Zoom before. Little did I know that Zoom would become a lifeline to my friends and family as well as the Duxbury community.

Throughout the spring and summer whenever the Senior Center Monthly Newsletter arrived, I would sign up for historical presentations, gardening and nature programs, exercise and meditation classes as well as Book for Lunch opportunities, with or without lunch. I would put alerts on my phone for one hour before the activity and was often pleasantly reminded of something I had signed up for weeks earlier. At the end of the day I was so grateful to have learned something new or had participated in a movement class with familiar faces.

The Senior Center programming has given me so many things to look forward to and has brightened my days in so many ways during this very bleak time. Thank you everyone at the Senior Center for your caring ways and offerings of education, motivation and delight.
