Book Club In -Person & Zoom (held at the Library & via Zoom) Wednesday, October 13 at 10 am We will be discussing The Elephant Whisperer, by Lawrence Anthony. When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival. They would be killed if he wouldn't take them, so in order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom. This is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad account of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures.

That's when I joined the Friends. Mary Keenan has been the President of the Friends the whole time I've been a member. I enjoy working with her because she knows a great many people in Watertown and she's well respected by everyone I've ever known. We have the support of members who are passionate about helping the Watertown Senior Center be the best place for older adults to have fun, meet friends, and try something new. Please consider becoming a member of the Friends today. Our next meeting is October 14 at 2:00 PM at the Senior Center. Call Mary Keenan, President, at (617) 926-5295. We hope you'll join us!"

WATERTOWN SENIOR NEWS • 617 972 6490 • October Community Voices: Re" will be 100years old in November or Rose has been with the Watertown Senior Center since its creation. This is how she describes her life before and after joining the Center: A "I was born in Watertown on November 8, 1921, and always lived in Watertown. went to school in Watertown, got married, and had two boys. One of them - became a guidance counselor in the Arlington schools. My other son became an engineer and lives in NH. I have been a widow for thirty-nine years. I retired from Blue Cross at the age of sixty-two and started going to Line Dancing at St. James Armenian Church. Later our group started working out at the Phillip School's gym. Our dancing teacher, Evelyn, took us on a day trip to Troy NH, we were there all day and danced and had a great day. We started a WOW Club (Watch Our Weight.) We did exercise and talked about food to eat. A group of us went to Town Council Meetings and asked for a Senior Center. The Center was opened in 1993. We had a party, it was great. One day a man brought in a box of cribbage supplies, and I learned to play and have been playing ever since. We played different card games on Thursday morning; we had a large group. One day I taught people to play Rummikub, and we now have a large group. I make many friends at the Center and had a good time. I wanted to do something for the Center. So I crochet. I made dishcloths and towels, placemats, and blankets. All proceeds benefit the Senior Center. / can't dance and drive anymore, but / have many friends who take me to the Center. / enjoy the Senior Center very much, and it has helped me to live this long."' z ti Ile ca. Vei",e. Rowe, 4ad Rae 6a ff&qu fetes V e " ,4, V aom, Former Senior Staff Member about Rage Who is a friend? I'm sure there are many definitions depending on who you ask. Today, I'd like to tell you about my friend Rose. I've known her for thirty years here at the Senior Center and at our church. There are many stories of her involvement with the Senior Center, starting with her helping to get our new Senior Center built and taking an active interest in what services and programs were offered. Her greatest impression she left with me was and still is her dedication to the Senior Center. For thirty years she made an afghan for every one of our parties to be raffled off. (She has this year's already done!). We started out with five parties a year and now have three. That means she made more than one hundred afghans for us! You felt really lucky if you won "Rose's afghan". She has been making dishcloths and towels for years to sell — all to benefit programs at the Center. She has also volunteered to help at many activities. Rose also has a playful part. I remember going to a different Mass one week and smiled when I saw her coming towards me. With a twinkle in her eyes, she pointed at me and said "you're in my seat". So, who is a friend? l count Rose as my friend as l'm sure so many others do, especially the Senior Center.
