Motion to accept all of the above verbal and printed reports was made by Brad and approved by the Council on Aging.
OLD BUSINESS: Tom reports from Friends of Holland Seniors that Nancy Talbot has resigned and Chris Haller was appointed her replacement. Linda Artruc notified the Friends that the COA needs included a wheelbarrow for the Garden Club, a ladder for hanging decorations and other work, and a new telephone. The Friends approved a wheelbarrow for $75.00, a ladder for $50.00 and a telephone system for $120.00. Don had requested $500.00 worth of mulch for the Senior Center gardens, and $300.00 was approved due to budget. The Friends’ financial report remains unchanged. • Our stained glass program is now well equipped, but attendance is poor. People have asked about evening classes, but seniors usually don’t like to drive at night and our activities must primarily
accommodate the needs of seniors.
NEW BUSINESS: Our annual report submission is due in mid-March. Brad will draft this. • The Friends can accept gifts to be used for Bingo prizes and a tax receipt can be issued from the Friends. • Earl donated a VCR for use with the new TV, but cables are needed. Sue to check on this.
Motion by Brad to accept the proposed budget was unanimously carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
