Senior Center Newsletter March-April 2021

Hello everyone,

. . . .

4-5

Spring is coming! The good news is many of you have had at least one and some of you have had both of your vaccine doses. For the rest of you it won’t be long now! More good news is the Senior Center has reopened. The first in-person activities available are the member “dropins.” Activities will also continue to be offered virtually for those who are not ready to return in-person.

Even more programing will be available in April. Ceramics, Knitting, Mah Jongg and Canasta classes will be back again with protocols similar to those we followed last fall. We will host two Movie and Lunches each month and Bingo and Tech Workshops will take place monthly.

Don’t forget to join us at the Virtual Coffee Chat. These fun and informal discussions will continue to take place every Thursday from 3-4pm. If you need the link, call or email me.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Volunteer Spotlight

Bill Schwartz, Humanities Leader

Meets on Fridays from 10:30am–Noon

The Senior Center hosts a variety of regular “drop-in” activities that available to members for free. Most of these are run by volunteer leaders who make sure things run smoothly and people are welcomed. One popular drop-in is Humanities. Bill has led the group for the past five years. It requires an enormous amount of weekly preparation and communication to make it successful. The loyal following of participants has grown during the pandemic as it has been offered as a virtual activity.

Bill Schwartz has been a part of the Senior Center since about 2011 when his wife, Marlene, told him about the Humanities group. After the former leader Jerry Emer passed away Bill stepped up to run the group. Leading the group is a labor of love for Bill, who believes the assignments and discussions improve reading ability and increase intellect. Bill is

adept at including everyone in the discussion—it’s important to him that everyone knows they don’t have to do the reading or talk to participate. People are welcome to just listen.

Part of what makes Bill a natural at leading the group is his professional background as a clinical social worker for 40 years. During his career he worked for Jewish Family Services, Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati, Magellan Health and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. His services have included counseling, crisis intervention, referrals and parent education.

Bill and his wife have a daughter Stephanie and a son Adam. They also have five grandchildren: Eli, Charlie, Olivia, Blair and Olivia, along with a new granddog named Cruise who just loves people.

Fun Facts About Bill

• Bill is also a member of the Park Larks, the Senior Center's show tunes singing group, where he has a leadership role securing performance venues.

• Fitting the most items in the dishwasher but making sure they all end up clean gives him the most fulfilling sense of accomplishment

• Bill's favorite movie is Saturday Night Fever!
