Commission highlights spring programs; Meghan's series drew steady attendance

Commission members reviewed a slate of recent programming and noted steady participation. The minutes record a luncheon at Sakura Garden in South Windsor attended by 12 people and a Women's Club Luncheon described as 'well attended' with 50+ people.

The commission recorded six staff-led/community programs organized by Meghan: 'Cut the Cord' (March 9, 2017), 'Energy Rate Savings' (March 16), 'Self-Defense' (March 23), 'Scams and Fraud' (April 6), 'Fire Safety' (April 20), and 'Swinging on Out' (May 4). The minutes state the programs were informative and well attended; no detailed attendance counts are given for each session in these minutes.

Commissioners and Director Carrie Concatelli expressed interest in collaborating with the public library to reach more seniors with later-hour programming; Chair Paula Frie suggested trying a library-based event to spark additional interest in the senior center.
