Meeting Place

To the editor:

After my dear husband died, I became isolated and lonely, which I read is unhealthy for seniors. After a couple of years I began going to The Meeting Place in Green Creek off Cox Road.

It is run by a marvelous woman, Brenda Fowler, who truly has our best interests at heart. The other members are all friendly, warm and kind. We have a good lunch in amiable company. These lovely people have greatly enhanced my life. You don’t have to be alone to enjoy it – many couples come. We celebrate all holidays together. What a comfort to know I’ll never be lonely again.

Come and join us and see how wonderful it is.
