in commissions. Sales were lower than last year, which seems to be the general trend.
Senior Advisory: Vicki reported that the July 18 meeting is a very important one
and we should try to get as many people to attend as possible. Sandy Lipitz, Finance
Director; Joe Netter, City Manager, and Tim Barry, Recreation Director, will be in
attendance to explain the tax measure which will be on the ballot in November election.
There will be an opportunity for discussion and questions and answers.
Elaine Sampson requested a flyer be prepared to distribute prior to the meeting to
alert as many seniors as possible to attend to learn how the tax issue personally
affects them. Vicki agreed to prepare the flyer for distribution.
Recreation Specialist: In Wendy's absence, Vicki handed out a Monthly
Report she prepared and went over some of the highlights. Vicki explained that
The Area Agency on Aging gives us a grant each year with certain criteria the
Center must meet. Example: they require 4,000 units of service a year- the
Center had 5,635.5 units; etc. The Center has met all the criteria for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2002.
A Life Line Screening program on stroke education was held July 9 with about 10 people
in attendance. There will be a preventive health screening session on August 2 — pre-

registration required.
The Flea Market will be on July 19, combined with a bake sale. On August 19, Wendy
will hold a Salad Supper and no-money auction from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Senior Programs Coordinator:
The Baking Committee — End of fiscal year-$110 in cash donations. Donated supplies
totaled $719.75. Donated supplies in June $30.14; no expenses. Year-end expenses
totaled 90 cents per month for all the goodies provided, including special events. This
is all possible due to the generosity of the volunteers.
The Choir Concert was held on June 23. 180 attended; 143 had lunch. A profit of
$1,453.50 was realized from both ticket sales and raffles. This was due to the
generosity of Pat Eckert who paid for all the food (chicken, potato salad, green salad)
and Raley's who contributed a $50 gift certificate and Raley's meat department manger
who sold us the chicken at their cost. Vicki thanked Jan Young for her time and talent in
producing such a wonderful program.
Reminder about the Musical*Comedy Revue to be held at the Scottish Rite Hall on
August 3. The tickets are $20 each and the Center will offer transportation from the
Senior Center to the show, which starts at 7:30 p.m.
A profit of$40 was made on the Sonoma Day trip. Only one van (8 people) went.
There was no driver available for a second van. Another tour to Sonoma is planned,
hopefully, with two vans. September 25 is the trip to the Wax Museum in SF and
Rainforest Café for lunch - $35 fee. October 19 is the date for a trip to Brutoco
Winery in Hopland. which offers gardens, gift shop and a restaurant"The Crushed
Grape". The cost will be $5.00. The Variety Show is scheduled for 11/2; tickets will
Be $7.00 and will go on sale in September. Ann Kennedy commented that it would be
good if a Council member(s) attended the smaller events, like the Choir Concert.
Vicki said they all come to the Black and White Ball and Vicki Vidak- Martinez and
her husband, as well as Armando Flores and his wife, help out at the Superbowl party
every year.
Recreation Director: Tim reported summer programs are filling up nicely, especially
the use of the pools. However, attendance at the Sports Center tends to go down due to
lack of air conditioning. Rec Dept. has been shorthanded since John's departure, but
other staff members are helping out. South Course is due to open in September— hoping
both courses will be better attended after renovation. if tax incentive measure fails,
there will most likely be more cut backs all around.
Other items for discussion: Ann Kennedy suggested that the Community Center
acquire a wheelchair to be kept there permanently and also one at the Spreckels theatre.
Tim agreed and will take care of this matter.
Adjournment: 2:20 p.m.
