Agenda Item No. 1, Call to Order
The meeting was called to order by Chair Jeane Alexander at 1:16 p.m.
Agenda Item No. 2 Approval of Apri110, 2001 Minutes
The minutes were approved unanimously.
Agenda Item No. 3 Administrative Comments: Joanne reported that the Volunteer
Luncheon that was held on Thursday, April 26 h was very well received. The volunteers
enjoyed it and appreciated it very much. A total of 42 attended the luncheon. Joanne
introduced the budget items for consideration for fiscal year 2001-2002. Those items are the
MMOW contract - requesting $10,000; CARS contract - requesting $15,000 plus %Z of
liability insurance-approx. $750. Senior Programs will remain at the $2600 level. She
explained that hopefully a small amount of monies could be earmarked for a transportation
fund. This money would then be used to help defray transportation costs for trips out of the
area. This would enable more seniors to participate in the trip/excursion opportunities.
Discussion followed regarding MMOW figures and as Sonja was not at the meeting to answer
questions, the members of the Commission asked that Mary King, Executive Director of
MMOW, be invited to attend the next meeting in order to clarify some of the figures and to
answer any other questions.
It was felt that the members of the Commission favored endorsing both the CARS and the
MMOW requests for the new fiscal year.
Further discussion was held regarding Long Term Care Consultants/Investment Profiling and
Home Health Agencies. All of these entities have asked to be allowed to give presentations to
our senior participants. David suggested that we host a fair and allow them to be present and
give presentations regarding their products and services. Joanne will investigate further and
see if any other center would want to participate as well.
Agenda Item No. 4 Southlake Seniors Activities
Tom reported on a number of activities held at the Center. Among the highlights were the
volunteer luncheon, A Taste of China - a Thursday Together program and the Book Review
program. It was noted that the Bluebonnet trip was canceled due to lack of participants and
the lack of participants was due to the transportation cost of the trip.
Agenda Item No. 5 Metroport Meals on Wheels
Sonja did not attend the meeting. She will bring the statistical information for April to the next
meeting.
Agenda Item No. 6 Open Forum
As a way of increasing the participation of activities at our center, David mentioned inviting
other center participants to join us for a special activity. We could invite the Colleyville center
or Keller or Roanoke to join us.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:55 p.m.
