Commission eyes Senior Citizens Club partnership to subsidize senior-dance attendees

Commission members discussed using a partnership model so the senior dance could be affordable for attendees who live outside Thompson. The commission noted the alumni association declined to partner because its fundraising focus is scholarships for recent graduates; members suggested reaching out to the Thompson Senior Citizens Club, which has funds and a mission aligned with senior recreational activities.

Members proposed creating a small subcommittee that would include senior-club representatives (President Pat Sharon mentioned as a contact) to coordinate logistics and sponsorship. The commission also noted difficulty locating the DJ JL Sound and agreed to try to secure contact information; no formal sponsorship commitment was made during the meeting.
