2 Another idea is physical and digital art courses- another possible intergenerational program. We discussed "Learning about Lexington". We need to be careful not to duplicate what other groups offer. Could we have someone from the National Park come and speak at the CC? • Nancy Shepard, Sheila Butts and Tom Romano met with Megan Sharkey from Communities United on December 28th. Two programs are now planned. Movement Mania which will take place on March 4- this program will also be presented at Cary Library on January 28th. Starting in March, a 10 week Raising a Reader program will be offered. Archana and John said they could post information about these programs on their list serves. We can look at adding a link on the Help Around Town to the LCC web page: https://www.helparoundtown.com/bulletin-board?page=1 • Nancy Shepard talked to Cristina Burwell, the new director at the Munroe Center. They might be a possible partner for programming • Nancy Adler reported that the Friends of the Council on Aging is willing to fund programs through a grant. There is an info packet at the front desk at CC about how to make program suggestions. 3. Programming at Pelham Property • The plans for the Pelham Property are moving forward. Karen met with Pat Goddard on 1/12/17 to discuss Community Center and other Recreation and Community Program uses as well as programming. The current plan is for the Gym, Cafeteria and Commercial Kitchen areas will be for Municipal use. There will be ongoing discussions on how programming at the CC can expand to utilize these spaces. 4. Community Center Director's Report • Sheila gave an update on some of the programs happening at the CC. o The middle school tubing trip to Nashoba was cancelled due to lack of snow and warm weather. o Open enrollment for programs has started. 73 people (20 new) have signed up for the Forever Fit program, which is funded by the Dana Home Foundation. o Communities United programs for preschoolers will start in March. (see above) o The Human Services Committee is interested in having a joint meeting with our committee to discuss programming o Karen's replacement, Melissa Battite will start on January 31st There will be an 8 day overlap before Karen retires. o Saturdays at the CC are very busy. Word of mouth seems to be an effective way to increase attendance. There have been a lot of college students coming because they are home on break. o A member of the committee asked about expanding our hours. Sheila explained that the current operation needs to support itself through revenue before expanding hours. Next Steps for Committee Members: o Continue to reach out to your constituencies for program ideas. o Dan Palant is going to contact Seattle to get more information on how their CPR Training program works. o If you are unable to attend a meeting, please send an email to Nancy at nshep12@verizon.net or text her at 781-718-8577. A quorum for our meetings is 4 committee members and we had just 4 members for the December meeting.
