February 12th, Tim Kolton will talk on Estate Planning and the Effect of the New Tax Law on Se-
niors.
Shelli brought a report from Nona Whitehead on recent great donations to the Senior Center. We
how have a top-of-the-line computer, but still need a portable sound system with a lapel mike, con-
tainers and shelving for crafts. Wall texturing is completed; need doors and painting.
The City has spent about $20,000 on the Center, including $6,000 for flex space, $1,500 for insula-
tion, getting materials at cost or donated.
Future plans include an invitation to Seniors to have breakfast at Carroll High School.
