Let’s Talk Story Club

Our mission is to help seniors combat loneliness, and reduce cognitive decline and memory loss. We do this by pairing seniors with volunteers who preserve their memories in life story books. Let’s talk story! 

The Let’s Talk Story Club is excited to be a part of Orange County Buddhist Church’s Kazoku-No-Hi Family Day on September 29th. The event will take place from 12 to 3 p.m. in the OCBC gym. Our book will be available for purchase there, and 100% of the profits will go to Go For Broke National Education Center. We hope to see you there!

“Sharing one’s life story stimulates memories and cognition, reducing depression and loneliness. I highly recommend this activity to provide older adults with a sense of fulfillment and comfort as they reflect upon their lives and accomplishments.”
