Ms. Sokolski stated that there is not a sense of community and there is no interaction from the
staff. She also stated the seniors don’t know what is going on there until they receive the Events
Magazine. She requested that we have a meeting during the day so that the seniors could attend
and bring up their concerns. Ms. Sokolski stated that we needed to get more people involved.

sub-committee meeting so that it would be on the record.
Ms. Cobb stated that we needed to have the responses to the surveys.
Ms. Crocker stated that when we had meetings during the day, very seldom did any seniors
attend. She also stated that the seniors get disappointed when a volunteer can not come to run an
activity, the staff is unable to run it, and they cancel the event.
Ms. Schneider suggested that the commission members attend one of the Wednesday luncheons
to see how it is run and to interact with the seniors.
Mr. Johnson responded that the newsletter is updated weekly and copies are in the entryway. He
also stated that they do the Events Magazine, numerous FaceBook posts, put up flyers and have
everything posted on the bulletin boards in the entryway and would take suggestions on the best
way to reach out.
Mr. DiRico suggested we make a senior an ambassador to make a connection with other seniors
at the center.
