After some discussion, it was passed. These same Vista volunteers have proposed to CAP that they be given the authority to operate a senior citizen program in the Friend- ship Center. They would like our support, It was decided that we need to see the proposal before taking action. Housing - Thursday, April 15, we are all invited to a luncheon meeting at the Top, 12:00 noon, that will provide information on a retirement com- munity by the Good Samaritan Society. DMA Housing proposal for the old Remington School lot as well as by the Holy Family Church supposedly has been approved and is now awaiting fund- ing which looks promising. Presbyterian Church - Bill Boggs said that the Presbyterian Church group is well organized but the DMA's plans have them concerned as to the need for their plans too. They are thinking possibly of a low, sprawling plan as opposed to the DMA's high rise. Survey - Dr. Sobel said that we still need a survey to determine needs for what kind of housing. Mr. Dordahl said Social Security does not have information except those listed on social security. Discussion followed on the possibility of using Senior Citizen groups and the up- coming church survey as a means of doing a housing survey. Mr. Boggs, Mr. Peterson and Dr. Sobel will meet to discuss a survey, )0l ''' y^+, Next meeting: May 3, 1971, 1:00 p.m., Friendship Room of Federal Savings with Senior Citizen representatives.
