Volunteers urge changes to Senior Center thrift store operations and staffing
Several volunteers told the Council on Aging at the October meeting that they were concerned about the direction of the Senior Center thrift store and wanted changes to its business model and to how staffing is handled, according to the meeting minutes.

The minutes record that J. Zienowicz has received an application related to board vacancies and will set up a meet-and-greet; additionally, the minutes indicate that Zienowicz will address the thrift store staff concerns at a future meeting. Discussion of volunteer pre-paid meal costs was tabled to the November meeting.
