II. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
There was no citizen participation.
III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
May minutes were approved as written.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. Resources network -- Kay Rios reported that the network
is floundering at about the same stage it was a year ago,
partly because Choice leader Carol Gillespie is in Europe.
Kay will go to City Council to ask for support to continue.
The county is in limbo regarding support. Consultant Steve
Snyder is willing to continue to work on the project.
B. Retirement brochure -- Kay says there's nothing new. The
brochure is completed, but Ed Stoner has not gotten back to
her about the next step, a marketing plan.
C. Building Team -- Jean Helberg went over her presentation
about the placement options for the community pool which will
be given to City Council at their work session on July 9th.
The only way it affects this Board is the possible connection
of pool with the new senior center in any way.
It was pointed out that one of the possibilities for
Council consideration (Item E - sharing a community pool
housed in the senior center) is completely unacceptable to
the Building Team.
There have been talks between staff and Senior Chuck -
wagon about adding their funds (or do their own fundraising)
to have a commercial kitchen and office space in conjunction
with the new senior center. They will put together a package
to present to the Building Team in late summer.
D. Networking Newsletter -- Kay is working on it with Bob
Winokur. Some groups are willing to contribute but none want
to take the lead and head it up.
E. Paint-A-Thon -- Marjorie called attention to the brochures,
and the need for outreach to eligible seniors to get their
applications in by the July 5th deadline.
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. Friends of the Center -- Vicki reported details of the
June meeting, and the date of the next meeting: July loth at
10:30 a.m. at the Senior Center. Marjorie suggested they
contact the northern Colorado fundraiser group for ideas.
B. Senior Center Council -- The Sunbird program opens Friday
6/14 with a Hawaiian luau breakfast.
C. Office on Aging - State Commission on Aging -- Meeting is
to be held at 1501 Blue Spruce tomorrow, July 13th at 1 p.m.
Pat and Marjorie plan to attend.
Kay commented on the latest response from the county and
anounced that the decision on director of the Office on Aging
has been made and will be announced momentarily.
She pointed out that the organizational chart for that
office has been changed to show only a director and volunteers.
The question to the comissioners now concerns the job itself;
what is the new director to do. Kay will ask them and send
copies of the letter to the media.
D. NewWestFest -- Kay will be scheduling board members to
man the booth. Marjorie announced that the S.O.A.P. Troupe has
agreed to perform their melodrama at the Senior Center during
the Fest.
E. Education Focus Group -- Marjorie announced that through
the efforts of this group, CSU has agreed to permit seniors
to audit classes free of charge starting Fall, 191. Details
of registration, etc. are still being worked out.
F. Junior League / Health Clinic -- Larry reported via
Marjorie that the Junior League committee will meet next
Saturday.
1
G. Poudre Valley Hospital -- Jill Taylor reported that the
Aspen club now has over 2000 members. Seminars for all
seniors are being held throughout the community, and they
are setting up Fall programs. In October AARP and the Aspen
Club will jointly sponsor a program on community health
systems.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 4:10 p.m.
