Shelley reports that the renovation of the center has revitalized the attitude among the client base and the staff. It also makes a better impression among new people who arrive because it no longer has an institutional feel.

The Sr. Expo was a success (Feb 17). We had a good mix of vendors. Attendees who filled out surveys were pleased with the event. We are talking about shifting it to another time, possibly in the fall, for 2008.

The group of seniors is going to the capitol tomorrow. We are taking 2 or 3 buses. A photo session is planned with the governor, and we are meeting with 4-5 state representatives.

Lynn reports: Parks and rec is going for a $60M bond, which may include money for an additional Senior Center. Additional land for parks would be purchased. Possibly a building at Central Park. They recognize needs for Senior activity in the county


Adult Daycare Committee
Diane, Lynn and Shelley have been visiting adult daycare facilities. Sandy Springs, Gainesville and Cobb County facilities were visited to review how they operate. A representative from Automation Direct is also working with the committee. Shelley will be documenting a vision for an adult daycare facility for Forsyth County.

A representative from United Way expressed interest in keeping up with the information and seeing if United Way could partner in the effort.

Pat Freeman, Legacy Link, was holding money for Adult Day Care, but had to allocate it to other areas. She will do this in the next grant cycle again because of her support for adult day care in the county.
