Letter from the Director
September is National Senior Center Month. Did you know there are 11,000 senior centers across the Nation serving over 1 million people per day? The theme this year is “Powering Connections”. The Gibson Center is all about building community and fostering connections.
Walking through the dining room in the morning I see people relaxing and connecting over a bottomless cup of coffee. There might be an exercise class taking place in the activity room. Someone might be receiving technology training or help enrolling in Medicare. The dining room fills up as we get closer to lunch. I hear laughter and feel the joyful energy of our friends and neighbors.
Lunch begins with the announcements delivered by Jill and Becky. Jill will run through the wide range of trips and programs that are coming up. Becky enlightens the audience with “this day in history,” birthdays of famous people, and “national {insert food} days,” which is never on the menu that day!
The announcements end with a hilarious joke and a prayer. Did you know older people love lewd jokes? Hearing our dining guests howl in laughter at one of Becky’s jokes is one of the regular joys of working at the Gibson Center. The announcements end with a nonsectarian prayer, which has brought tears to my eyes more than once.
As Sharon Fournier takes some of our guests’ home on the bus, others stay for an afternoon program. It could be a movie, a game, or perhaps a craft or painting. The Gibson Center is a place where friendships are made, and connections are built. Happy National Senior Center Month!
Sincerely,
David
