The minutes of the May 10, 1976 meeting were read and several corrections were made.
Daisydeane Lannon reported on the State Commission on Aging because she had been
requested to do so. Ginny Dunford reported that it was unnecessary for the
Senior Citizens Coordinating Commission to appoint a member to the Community
Education Board because Poudre R-I had already appointed members and had taken care
of it. May is nationally Senior Citizens Month and Daisydeane Lannon asked if
anyone wanted to participate on a local level.
Jim Conlon asked if there was a central place for Senior Citizens to bring their
grievances to. Discussion followed and it was brought to the Commission's
attention that there are several such centers in town: Woodward Governor and
The Point each have one but this service is not limited to Senior Citizens only.
