2 Center Program Advisory Committee hold a joint meeting with the Recreation Committee annually. We will plan to do this after the new director is up and running It was also suggested that should attend other meetings where things potentially relating to the CC are being discussed. • The Committee discussed partnerships with other groups in town for collaborative programming. Lexington Community Education (LCE) is interested in using the CC for some of their programs. Once fees for building use are established, these discussions can move forward. There does seem to be some overlap with what other groups that are offering programs, like Hayden and Monroe. Charlotte said that we are offering some programs with Monroe now. The Evergreen Support group will be offering a Chinese New Year program for Seniors. The Lexington Chorale from Brookhaven came and gave a concert recently that was well attended. • Nancy found out about Communities United from the head children's librarian at Cary. They conduct outreach programs in communities for children ages birth through 8. Information on their programs can be found at http:// communitiesunitedefce .weebly.com /program- calendar.html If you look under the calendar, there is a description of the programming they provide. Nancy, Sheila and Tom Romano will be meeting with Megan Sharkey from Communities United on December 28th. • Dan is still working on outreach to find someone to facilitate an Intergenerational Snow Sculpture Program for this winter. 3.
