MEMORANDUM To: Community Development Committee From: Betty Kilsdonk Re: Monthly report Date: July 22,1999 Mignery Exhibit The Herb Mignery bronze sculpture exhibit opened July 2 with a reception attracting 183 people. It is on display through August 29. July 4~h Car Show The Friends netted just over $5000 in their first, very successful, annual collectible car show, which attracted almost 100 vehicles and scores of passersby. The Terry Davis automobile art show exhibit at the Museum attracted 175 visitors during the event. July/August Events July 24 Riverside Dance-Tickets available at the Museum or the door August 5-7 Estes Family Reunion-Museum is registration headquarters August 22 1899: Preparing for a New Century Family program-featuring three education trunks on loan from the Colorado Historical Society.

Professional Activities Lisa Hanson and I gave a presentation on the collections rehousing project to about 25 museum professionals on Monday, July 12, when we hosted a meeting of the Association of Northern Front Range Museums.

Community Development Committee Senior Center Monthly Report Thursday, July 22, 1999 Special Transit Update Steve Blacksher, Special Transit, was successful in beginning one day per week service in the Estes Valley on Wednesday, June 16. Rides are available each Wednesday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. In order to avoid toll calls to ST in Boulder for Estes Valley residents, Tobi Hale of Estes Park has been contracted by ST to take reservations for rides "live" on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. and by returned voice mail messages all other hours. To accomplish this, it was necessary for Tobi to have a phone line added to her home phone. Ned Linegar approached Estes Park Rotary to underwrite the cost of installation and one year of line charges. Rotary graciously agreed to this and has paid for the first year. Steve and Tobi report that this initial venture is a huge success. Numbers were not available for the first Wednesday, but counts for subsequent Wednesdays are: June 23 26 rides/2 refusals June 29 27 rides/4 refusals July 7 25 rides/12 refusals July 14 25 rides/0 refusals All rides to date are seniors with the exception of two, one of whom is disabled. The Pine Knoll residents are primary users. Tobi is in process of setting up a grocery run from the Hwy 7 area to Safeway from 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. each Wednesday. The charge is $1.50 round trip, $.75 one way; and if unable to pay, no charge. No refusals will be made for medical appointments. The service is funded by a grant to Special Transit and Town of Estes Park matching funds of $7,250 and was targeted for start-up two days per week in the year 2000. Steve made the effort to get this one day per week underway in 1999 because it looks very promising that a $4K contribution from Larimer County will be forthcoming for this purpose. It is apparent to the Special Transit people that a real need exists for two days per week of service for the remainder of 1999. The current users are thrilled to be able to move about even one day per week; but a Wednesday obviously doesn't work for all who need rides. Steve estimates that adding one additional day would cost $6K. The need is reality. Attempts to find funding are underway. 36-1
Meals A total of 1108 meals were served in June, 1999. This compares with 1171 in June, 1998. However, 49 more congregate meals were served this year over last, but 112 less Meals on Wheels were provided this year, resulting in the net decline of 63 meals. Fund Raising Two more Saturday morning Breakfast Buffets were held since our last report. Participation in June declined sharply with 38 people and a net profit of $230, It was felt that a lack of adequate publicity was the cause. Attempts were made to rectify that in July. July's participation was 75 people and a net profit of $387. Total net funds to date are $1,117. Two more Buffets are scheduled, August and September. Activities • Groups visiting Estes Park and joining us at the SC for lunch include the Lafayette Seniors, Fort Collins Parkwood Seniors, Tri City Seniors, and the Loveland Heart Beats (who provided a short program of music with their homemade instruments.) • The Association of Northern Front Range Museums held a meeting at the Center which included lunch. • The Friends of the Senior Center Board hosted lunch for the Board of the Kenneth Kendal King Foundation. • The first of four scheduled lunches with Kreative Kids and the Seniors was hosted on July 12. Carrie, Children's Librarian, provided a wonderful lunch time program which resulted in much fun and great interaction between the Kids and Seniors. First National Bank is underwriting the cost of the Kids meals. • Programs included an Arts in the Parks slide presentation, a senior-focused vision care programl and a Poudre Valley Hospital Heart Screening on-site for which many seniors signed up. • Senior trips in recent months include Boulder Dinner Theatre and Ocean Journey. August trips will include Central City Opera and Boulder Dinner Theatre. • Senior men are holding pool tournaments in addition to daily pool - and the senior ladies play every Thursday morning with a lot of fun and laughter. Of course, the regular events of card playing, arm chair exercising, and bible studies continue as well. • Many local groups and organizations are enjoying meetings at the SC. 36-2-

There is a great need for fiber education and a place for breeders to promote their animals in our area. Weather always plays a part in the spectator numbers. There still is a great deal of interest in fiber education. Workshops bring attendees in for four days providing good revenue, both for the Town businesses and the event. We are the largest Llama and Alpaca show in the world. Weather was great. COMMENTS: As the Wool Market Committee works toward 2000 and our 10th year, we again keep quality as our major objective. The educational value of our event continues to be brought to our attention by public comment. The Estes Park Wool Market is one of the top three fiber festivals in the United States. 1/q -2
Jul 20 99 10:57a Teri Wright (9701 586-3661 P.2 The Llama Show continues to be the best in the country due to good Superintendents, who really care. Exhibitors are relaxed and have a great deal of fun. The Alpaca Breeders of Colorado support our show in large numbers and were very helpful with volunteers. The alpacas doubled in entries this year, caused some last minute costs for addition tent and pens, but worth having the extra exhibitors. Animal and workshop numbers are attached. The weekend demonstrations continue to be of great interest. At times there were several hundred watching the sheep dog demonstrations. We are most pleased with the attendance and believe the numbers prove that we have a quality event with an avid following. It was good be return to the middle school for workshops this year. We will continue to use the school vs hotels. Quality of vendors continues to go up each year (we jury). They were very happy with sales - knowledgeable and educated buyers are attending. 2000 dates will be June 15, 16, 17, & 18. Volunteers continue to make this event happen!!! ¥90.8
