SUMTER, S.C. — At Sumter Senior Services Monday, a room of seniors joined for activities in one of their first opportunities to return since the coronavirus pandemic began.
They danced and clapped as music played inside.
Despite being distanced and masked for safety, this was a level of closeness that brought a smile to Rosa Ford, a member, for roughly the last ten years.
