During this discussion, suggestions and concerns from SAC members included:
• Create business cards with Senior Center membership and program
information that may be handed out to potential members.
• Proactively communicate parking lot restrictions to guests coming to The Marq
Southlake. The lower lot is reserved for "Senior Citizens Only" but non -seniors
are parking there on a regular basis. Staff will continue to communicate this
restriction to Event Contact for events held during Senior Center hours
(Monday — Friday 9:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m.).
• Post sign in the Lobby as a reminder of the proper parking accommodations
for seniors and visitors using the facility.
