Bill Senecal has been a regular attender at the Fayette Senior Center for two years. “The Senior Center is a nice complement to my week. I like the opportunity to have a good meal with friends. I like the variety of programs and the conversation.”
I don’t always participate in all of the programs, but I like the ones that I go to, and I think that there’s something there for everybody. I’m retired, and I’m also widowed, and the Senior Center gives me the chance to get out of the house, go do something, and have some productive time with other people,” Bill said.
“In 2022, I attended a program by a storyteller at the Archbold Senior Center. And I thought, ‘I’ve got some stories, too.’ So, I put together a program for the seniors at the Fayette Senior Center.”
“I think I got as much out of it as they did. I just enjoyed the avenue to be able to express myself. I think part of the variety of the programs that are offered is because the people are so varied. Everybody’s got something they can offer,” Bill added.
Bill has provided programs for our five Senior Center sites with themes including, Christmas, silly stories, letter boxing, vintage love letters near Valentine’s Day, and a new mystery/ escape room-type program this month.
In his spare time, Bill enjoys a variety of hobbies. “I do a little woodworking, a little small boat sailing, and some hiking. I like to play golf, but I’m not very good.’
“There’s no one thing I’m ultra-passionate about, but I like doing a lot of different things. I try to get two or three of those in every week,” he said. If you have visited Sauder Village in the past few years, you might have seen Bill at the grist mill or other places in the Village.
“I appreciate so much that there are five Senior Center locations, so seniors anywhere around Fulton County can get to one, and I think they should. They have a lot to offer,” he said.
