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.

Dear Friends,![]()
As we move through the final stretch of summer, there's no denying that familiar feeling of fall slowly creeping in—cooler mornings, golden sunsets, and a gentle shift in pace. It's a time of reflection, renewal, and preparation, and here at the Senior Center, we’re embracing the season with energy and purpose.![]()
September is Healthy Aging Month, and we’re proud to shine a light on what it truly means to age well—mind, body, and spirit. Our programs continue to focus on promoting vitality, independence, and community connections. Whether you join us for a fitness class, a health screening, or a lively discussion over coffee, you’re taking steps toward a healthier, more connected future.![]()
Falls Prevention Awareness Week is also around the corner. Falls are not an inevitable part of aging, and we’re committed to helping our community stay safe, strong, and steady. Keep an eye out for special workshops, balance and mobility classes, and safety checks throughout the month.![]()
We’re also thrilled to announce the upcoming Age Well Expo—a day dedicated to celebrating aging, connecting with resources, and having a little fun along the way. There will be vendors, presentations, raffles, and a chance to meet others who are on the journey of aging with purpose and positivity.![]()
This month, we also extend a warm welcome to Melodi McGee, the new Executive Director of the Area Agency on Aging. We look forward to working alongside her in strengthening services, expanding opportunities, and continuing the mission of supporting older adults across our region. Her leadership brings fresh vision and energy, and we are excited for the collaboration ahead.![]()
Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our volunteers. Your time, compassion, and commitment keep our programs thriving. If you’ve been considering getting involved, now is a perfect time. Whether it’s helping with meals, driving for transportation, or sharing a skill or story, your contribution makes a real difference.![]()
As autumn approaches, let’s all take a moment to reset and recommit—to our health, to each other, and to the community we’re building together. We hope to see you at the center soon!![]()
