Monterey Council on Aging
Minutes of July 12, 2017
The meeting opened at 10 am with R. Champigny, L. Hebert, K. Purcell, and J. Rodriguez present. N. Champigny was excused.
The calendar was reviewed re meeting times, membership, cards, Matter of Balance, events and web sites. A motion passed by all to resume holding meetings at town hall. A suggestion was made to make meetings a “Meet & Greet” opportunity to reach out to small groups of invited seniors. The goal is to increase membership, get feedback on current programs and
ideas for new ones. Voting members are appointed by the select board; currently there are 5 but an increase to 7 or 9 would give more energy. Process should be researched. Associates/non-voting has no limit. Friends of a council are used for fund raising and file for a tax-exempt status. Community Center continues as the site for cards at 1 pm on Tuesdays and for Matter of Balance review group at 1:30 pm on Wednesdays. On the horizon is Pittsfield Suns ballgame next Sunday, July 16th 5 pm at Waconah Park and a visit to Chesterwood in mid-August.
Lunches should occur regularly. Several sites were listed: Roadside, General Store, Brewery, Mt. Everett, Community Center, Marketplace, picnic. The current web site needs to have more information, such as services available and links to other programs near-by.
Budget - The financial reports to the council are incomplete Needs follow-up !!
The Meeting adjourned at 11:30 am.
