Community Center Provides Lasting Benefits

Community Center programs positively impact participants’ lives in a variety of ways. Passport holder Kay W. shares her experience:

I have attended a particular Community Center class for many years. An outcome of the class that was surprising to me was the formation of lasting and rewarding friendships. When the Community Center closed during the height of the pandemic, some of us decided to meet outside and walk together during our regularly scheduled class time. The walking group gave us something to look forward to, friendly people to chat with, Westerville's many great outdoor trails to enjoy and much-needed safe exercise.

When our favorite class reopened at the Community Center, we resumed classes and also continued to meet with our walking group. None of us really knew each other before and now we celebrate birthdays and support each other's joys and challenges. Who knew we could still make new friends in our 60s, 70s and beyond! Thank you, Community Center, for providing vigorous activity in classes for all ages that have probably sparked more life-affirming relationships than ours. Mission accomplished!
