“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.

Our Impact
Community Impact
The Klamath Basin Senior Citizens’ Center profoundly impacts the local community by providing essential services and fostering a supportive environment for seniors. Through its comprehensive programs, including nutritious meal offerings, health and wellness activities, social gatherings, and educational workshops, the center enhances the quality of life for older adults. By promoting social engagement and mental and physical well-being, we help seniors maintain independence and dignity. Additionally, the Center serves as a crucial resource for families and caregivers as well. KBSCC’s role in the community not only enriches the lives of its senior members but also strengthens the fabric of the Klamath Basin community as a whole, highlighting the value of inclusivity and care for all ages.
Over the last decade, KBSCC has provided our community with:
705,321 Meals Prepared On-Site
121,752 Rides Throughout Klamath Falls and Beyond
29,013 Health and Wellness Class Participations
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.
