was discussed. She stated the number of home visits for meals on weekends has increased and an

Center to make meals, and agreed that Parkview is too small.

OLD BUSINESS
Status of City Budget:
-Mrs. Kreibich reported that there was nothing new to report on the
budget at this time. She reported that an educational table has been set up at the main facility and
the annex in regards to the upcoming election. She stated participants were being encouraged to
contact the Common Council in regards to how important the Senior Center was to them, not just
in terms of dollars and cents. She also reported that the County Board did not approve an
increase in the sales tax. Discussion followed in regards to the Seniors Center budget.
Housing Directory Brochure:
-Mrs. Kreibich stated the Oshkosh Northwestern would be
publishing the Winnebago County Resource Directory. She asked committee members if they
had the opportunity to have all of the housing information published in the County Directory,
would they rather that be done than publishing our own. Members responded that they would
want to have the information published in the County Directory. Further discussion followed in
regards to the information to be given to the Oshkosh Northwestern and the distribution of the
directory.
Mrs. Kreibich also reported that LPI would be printing the Senior Doings Newsletter beginning
in March, 2007. She stated the Seniors Center has contracted with LPI for two years with a
maximum payment of $3,500 per year, but hoped to have it published free of charge due to the
advertising that would be included.
