BOARD MEMBER
Olga worked at Just Buffalo Literary Center as a BOARD MEMBER
Just Buffalo Literary Center
Along with two partners, all of us board members of Just Buffalo, I visit Stadnitsky Gardens, a senior housing facility, and encourage participants in our "Writing Club" to put their life experiences on paper.
We believe seniors have a lot to say. Precious little attention has been placed on the importance of their stories. We set out to remedy that.
We are completing our third year.D'Youville College
