Town of Estes Park Community Development Committee May 25,2000 SENIOR CENTER MEALS 656 congregate meals and 227 meals on wheels were served in April for a total of 883. PROMOTION The Spring issue of the newsletter, Seniors in the Rockies, was distributed the week of May 15. Highlighted by photographs were the Leap Year and Spring Fling parties which were very successful. June is "Each One Reach One" month in which we are encouraging each active member to invite one other person for lunch or a program. The Senior Center brochure has been printed and will be distributed during June. Both the newsletter and brochure remind folks that Meals on Wheels are available through the Center. FUND RAISING The Seniors sold 37 tickets for the Duck Race for a total of $703 net proceeds. Dody Banker, owner of the Spruce House, has donated a nativity scene from the Lynn Haney collection to the Senior Center. Tickets will be sold at $1 each for a chance to win the nativity set which has a retail value of $1,300. The drawing will be held at the Thanksgiving Feast on November 21, and the scene will be on display at the Senior Center until that time. hQ~,The Board is planning a barbecue open to the public on July 4th. Tickets will (1QFW.r include vantage seating for the fireworks display. DEDICATION OF TREES Members Ross Moor, Lois Chase and Walt Richards each donated a spruce tree for the Heritage Garden in memory of loved ones. Dan Speedlin and his crew did an outstanding job of selecting the trees and planting them. Dan also arranged for a dedication ceremony held on Arbor Day which was attended by members of the Tree Board. These trees will also be identified with name plates on the plague at Town Hall. OPEN HOUSE The Open House at the Senior Center was held on Saturday, May 20 in conjunction with the Museum's free day featuring the Clatworthy exhibit. The turnout was, however, disappointing with only 44 persons registering (including the eight members hosting.) -1-
