Attendance record was approved as drafted.
Agenda Item No. 4, Discuss: Senior reception and dance -
Decided not to combine reception date with dance date since there is a $5.00 charge for the Senior
Dance and the reception will be free. Kathy Schaeffer who scheduled the dance did not attend the
meeting due to a conflict. The Sr. dance is scheduled for Sunday, February 9, 1997 from 4:00pm-
7:00 pm at Durham Elementary School Cafeteria. The Senior reception is scheduled for March 16,
1997 in Community Center White Chapel Room. Fran Weiser and her committee are planning the
reception. City dignitaries will be invited. Notices will be posted inviting all senior citizens (55+)
to the reception.
Agenda Item No. 5, Reports
Aloha Payne was given the responses from the mailout to Southlake Seniors. She will acknowledge
receipt of their responses and will send applications for the Southlake Advisory Commission to all
who indicated an interest in serving on the commission. Also Aloha will inform them off the
reception that has been scheduled for March 16 and encourage all to attend as well as encourage-all
to attend the Senior Dance February 9, 1997.
Wanda Buschman informed the Senior Advisory Commission of visits planned to two senior living
facilities and plans to visit others. She and Dick Johnson are visiting various Metroplex Retirement
City of Southlake, Texas
Centers and Assisted Living Centers gaining background knowledge for an advisory paper to City
Council as Senior Living needs might impact Southlake.
Metroport Meals on Wheels reported through Rose Hampshire that 178 meals were served to seniors
and guests during the last quarter of 1996. At the January 7, 1997 luncheon 18 lunches were served
including 14 seniors (8 Southlake seniors).
The possibility of converting the Eubanks house on the Richards/Timmarron property into a Senior
Center was discussed by the Board. Some felt nothing should be done (dollars spent by the City)
until the decision on building the City/CISD complex is resolved. Dick Johnson informed the
Commission of his walk though with Kim McAdams Lenoir, Paul Ward and Mayor Stacy. It was
estimated that $50,000 minimum would be required to make the place "right" for the seniors. There
will be more information at the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned.
