Questions have changed over the last couple of years making it difficult to have a good comparison. It may take a couple of years to collect that kind of data. We did have 100% participation. The committee felt that over all the results were more positive than past years. o The last question on the self evaluation survey regarding personal financial o donations will be reevaluated next year as to whether or not we should include it. The majority of the board members agreed this should either be reworded or eliminated in future years. FRIENDS OF THE OSHKOSH SENIORS CENTER (FOSC) REPORT:  Ann Marie reported that FOSC will host another bake sale on election-day. The bake sales have been successful so far. She also stated they were planning to mail out a reminder letter to individuals who have not yet renewed for the 2012 year. Kathy stated they may want to discuss this further as the Friend committee met recently and proposed a change to the form that should be completed to include other donation amounts. It is felt this would not be in the best interest of the FOSC or the Center with the Annual Appeal at the heels of this letter. It was determined that Ann Marie would address this at the upcoming FOSC meeting on Thursday.
