I'm going to venture out on this limb here. Maybe it's not a limb, but a
very strong branch that will carry me right from the corner of 5th and Main
to the corner of 5th and Washington with a lot of support.
The Senior Friendship Center in order to be a viable part of this community
must gain more space. We are programming for over 50 years of ages in this
City owned Park Recreation program. Think about the different areas of
interest for 50 years of ages and experiences! This building is not
conducive to that type of program planning. People are interested in
creative opportunities, we have a wonderful watercolors class experience;
writing classes, there are 2 classes of people writing their life stories;
we have a choral group that currently is working on Old English
pronunciations and diction with a very capable director; we have dabbled in
theatre, but want more; we are in need of an exercise area for our
seniorcise aerobics, tai chi, chair exercises and a much needed exercise
room complete with exercise equipment we would like to try yoga. We are
constantly scrambling to get swim time at either WSU or the new WMS, but
seem to only gain access between the hours of 6:30 am - 8:00 am. Our
computer lab is very limited in space and with growing technology, I only
foresee more needs in this area such as teleconferencing, etc.
Speaking of mentoring, we need to discontinue segregating the ages. Let's
plan a building for all to enjoy. Let's not piecemeal, but actually long
term plan for the community of Winona. Not young, mid or old, but all of us
as a collective unit of human beings living in the same community. Malia
Storovich, Director Winona Senior Friendship Center
