FROM: Sue Kreibich, Oshkosh Senior Center
SUBJECT: Outreach Coordinator Proposal
DATE: May 9, 1980
� �
You have asked for more information concerning what the
above mentioned proposal is all about.
Basically, there are many things that the staff at the
Senior Center are unable to accomplish, due to limited time
and available staff.
In order to be credible to our funding sources, we must
be able to supply them yearly with numbers of programs, pro-
gram participants, unduplicated numbers of participants, etc.
While we are able to come up with close estimates, we do not
have a good system presently to monitor numbers and names of
center users. One responsibility of a person hired under the
named proposal would be to look at various ways of doing this
and to develop a system that would work at the Center. The
system should be one that volunteers could handle at the end
of the grant period.
Another responsibility would be to conduct a survey,
that has been designed throughout the city on older adults
and their:
1. Knowledge of the programs sponsored at the Senior Center.
2. Participation in the Center programs.
3. Reasons for lack of participation.
4. What other older adult groups they participate in:
The information gained from this survey should be very helpful
in letting us know if people in fact, know about the Center,
participate at the Center or why they don't participate. As
this is a tax supported service, it would be benefici�l to be
finding out these kinds of things.

�s I mentioned before, staff have too many present responsi-
bilities to accomplish these things. What we need to do could be
done in a seven (7) month period by one person working ten (10)
hours weekly. We would hope to hire an older adult. There is
funding available from Title III A. Federal funds through the
Winnebago County Committee on Aging. We would like the City
Council to approve submitting a proposal for funding this posi-
tion to accomplish the above goals.
