Residents of Lester Senior Housing Community shared personal stories of many kinds at a recent open mic night event at Drip Coffee House in Morristown. The program, which was open to the public, was part of the residents’ participation in Memoir Writing with Paul, a twice-monthly program held at the senior living community that is facilitated by Paul Rabinowitz, executive director of ARTS by the People. The non-profit organization brings assorted programs that promote creative expression to seniors and others; residents of Lester Senior Housing Community as well as Village Apartments of the Jewish Federation in South Orange participate in a variety of creative activities through ARTS by the People, including floral arts and fine arts. Both senior communities are owned and managed by the Jewish Community Housing Corporation of Metropolitan New Jersey (http://www.jchcorp.org).
The audience at the coffee house included seniors and their families as well as local residents, who heard from Ruth Bromberg, Thelma Borodkin, Naomi Zaslow and Mildred Spiel. Bromberg, who is 98 years old, also participates in skit reading and exercise classes and Zaslow heads up a drama club, just a few of the ways seniors stay active and engaged at the senior living community.
