III. CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order by Chair

IV. GUEST SPEAKER: Dr. Tom Pixley, one of two PVH staff
dentists, spoke about what is, and what is not available for
senior dental care. He commented on the fact that Fort
Collins under -rates dental as being a part of health care.
There is greater need for dental care for seniors, both
emergency and longterm, than any other population group, he
feels. Seniors are not often seen at Front Range College
dental program, possibly because they don't know about it,
or that they have to go through the Women's Center for
income qualification and referral. There may be confusion
with Women's Clinic (names).
Jill said that while there are no provisions for dental
care in the new North College clinic, there are tentative
plans for a PVHD off -site facility for mammography and
dental care.
Jill, Blanche and Marjorie will write a letter of SABs
support with copy to president (Dr. Mike Ichiboni, Loveland)
of the local dental society. Dr. Pixley thinks the dental
society would support a program that was in place.
IV. CORRESPONDENCE: Colorado Senior Lobby newsletter was
passed around.
V. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of March 13th meeting
were approved unanimously after adding Ed's name to the
Network Luncheon Committee.
VI. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Paint-A-Thon: Marjorie reported that the Brothers
Redevelopment's sponsor, Norwest Banks, has made a corporate
decision to not sponsor another Paint-A-Thon in this area.
and reviewed by the Senior Center Council on a regular
schedule, thereby tracking complaints and/or complainers.
Kay will outline such a plan to be sent to the Senior
Center Council chair.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. OOA and DSS merger: The plan is in County Commision-
ers hands, but input is still welcome. Comments: Ombudsman
should be under 'Advocacy' rather than 'Investigation.'
Yvonne will forward this suggestion. It is hoped that OOA
doesn't get lost in bureaucracy.
B. Outreach CSU: Will be at the Senior Center, 4:30
p.m. Wednesday, April 17th.
VIII. SERVICE/LIAISON REPORTS: Mention made about the
interesting Housing Authority Tour.
IX. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 p.m.
