In August of 2020, we started a Collaborative Story Project! Eight different stories originated from our eight senior center locations. Participants were asked to do the following:
1. Record your information on the contact sheet.
2. Add a sentence or two to the story on the blank pages provided.
3. Mail or hand-deliver the story to a friend or family member!
We asked that the stories be returned to WCCOA around October 31, 2020 to be published here. We hope to receive our last five tales through the mail in the coming months.
Perrysburg Area Senior Center Story

It was the middle of the summer of 2020. Each day's newspapers brought the news of the passing of one of our former friends. I drove down to Bowling Green and walked around the Wood County Fairgrounds for about twenty minutes.
This has been a very unusual season controlled by the Corona Virus curtailing of our simple pleasures. Meetings with friends and family, no church attendance or Senior Center gatherings. Even meals and gatherings with family prohibited. No shopping trips or restaurants to enjoy. But we are survivors and books came off bookshelves and TV became our daily companion. Our home became our palace. We survived!
