Every Wednesday at Pickleweed
Every Wednesday at Pickleweed
Minh Nguyen – Senior Library Assistant
Wednesday morning, the doors of the Albert J. Boro Community Center opened with a cheerful squeak. Inside, a circle of chairs waited, along with a table full of cookies and a fresh pot of coffee that filled the air with a comforting aroma.
Every Wednesday from 10am to 1pm, the Library and Recreation department welcomes folks into our doors for the weekly Multicultural Older Adult program. The program aims to bring together older adults from different cultures and backgrounds to have fun, build connections, and enjoy a meal together.
Some days we play bingo and practice Tai Chi. Some days we sing karaoke. Once in a while we share stories from long ago—stories about first loves, travels, families, and dreams still waiting to be chased.
What makes Wednesdays special isn’t the food or the games, it is the feeling of belonging. Everyone knows that when Wednesday arrives, they have a place to be, and people who care that they were there.
When it was time to go, the group packed up, hugged goodbye, and promised, “See you next Wednesday!”
Because at Pickleweed, Wednesdays weren’t just another day on the calendar. They are a reminder that connection, joy, and community never grow old.
