They are inter- ested in county -wide projects. Marjorie suggested the Board consider projects and get back to her, as SAB has a working committee. 2. Eddie Jo Yost, of Choice, introduced the new director Richard Young -Hutchins, and explained the organization's structural and funding changes as they separate from Neighbor to Neighbor. 3. Barbara Schoenberger, using AARP material, gave a presentation about improving community awareness and sensi- tivity to senior needs. A video was viewed and four local seniors spoke to the reasons they chose this city in which to stay, or to come to for retirement, citing more positives than negatives. Barbara asked the Board if there was an interest in buying and using this material in Fort Collins, possibly during outreach meetings. During discussion it was generally agreed that it is very useful material, but indecision about whether SAB is the group to use it. No action taken. III.
