COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS/CONCERNS:
Claude indicated he was concerned about the COA not being mentioned on the
Friend’s support letters that were sent out this year. Kathy stated the Friends, the
Advisory Board, and the OSC staff determined that this year the donor request would
be to support the FOSC organization as our fundraising arm. In general we are
moving in this direction to keep these funds separate. Peggy stated that as the COA
is appointed by the City it would be best that they not be campaigning for fundraising
dollars only to support the Senior’s Center as they are appointed by the City Council
for the purpose of supporting the community efforts.
NEXT MEETING:

Julie is coordinating another speaker for February.
ADJOURNMENT:
Lurton motioned to adjourn the meeting; Julie seconded; all were in favor. Meeting
adjourned.
Respectively Submitted,
