REPORTS:
Aging Services Manager
: Sue Kreibich reported that the Badger Band fund-raiser was a success. One
more bill still needs to be received so payment can be processed. There will be a report to follow after
payment has been made and paperwork has been completed. As sales and expenses are calculated it looks
as if the Center profited $10,838. A discussion took place. The grant request to the Winnebago County
Commission on Aging is due the first Friday in May; the request for 2007 will be in the amounts of:
$27,140 for Health Services and $15,000 for Program Coordinator.
Program:
Sue Kreibich read a report given to her by Molly Butz, Program Coordinator. The program
department continues to be busy with numerous projects and day to day services. The You Can! Steps to
nd
Healthier Aging program is in its’ last week. Taste of the Towne is Tuesday, April 25 and the 2 Annual
Senior Triathlon in the first week of May. The May program schedule is very busy with many new
programs. Katie and Erin’s will be finishing their internship by May 25 and will be missed by
participants and staff. A new Exercise Science intern, Ashlee Niebuhr, will begin in the middle of May.
The Women’s Day program (with grant support from the Women’s Fund) will begin in June.
Facilities/Maintenance:
Sue Kreibich read a report written by Judy Brewer Center Supervisor. The
Facilities Committee met on April 20, 2006. A new member Bob Yarbro, a retired architect, joined the
committee. The committee approved a bid for room signage at both facilities that meets ADA
requirements. Sue explained that the signage has long been needed and will include Braille. The
committee reviewed a “Space Improvement 10-Year Plan” that will be passed on to the Master Plan
Committee for their review. Judy Brewer will contact the DACC project leaders to have them wash
windows at both facilities inside and outside this spring. M/S/C (Wolter, Thompson) ratify the report.
Master plan:
A suggestion was made to keep participants informed as plans are being developed. The
program committee thought that rather than have the computer classes moved to the Annex, they should
stay at the main facility. It was recommended that craft b be used for computer repairs.
New Business:
There was the second reading of a suggested change to the Constitution of the board. Bill
McCarthy read the change. A motion was made, seconded and carried that (Nielsen, Walker) the
president of the Friends does not have to be in attendance to Oshkosh Seniors Center Board meeting, but
rather a designee will attend to show FOSC representation. Fox Valley Technical College contract ends
on June 30, this however, has been extended to December 31. A Vote was taken for the replacement of
board members. John Vandenberg will be replacing Bill McCarthy as Bill’s term expires on May 31,
2006. He will remain on the Board for one year as past president. M/S/C (Hoffman, Nielsen) all ballets
destroyed. Motion made, seconded and carried to adjourn the meeting.
Respectfully,
Bobbie Luft, Oshkosh Seniors Center, Office Assistant
