Donations and Wish List — a coffee maker for the drop in was purchased

**Other Items for Discussion**
Hazel spoke about a house in disrepair in Cotati.
Vicki brought up changing the Board of Directors meetings to every other
month after Senior Advisory. This change will give staff more time to get
their work done, and reduce the duplication of information at the meetings,
since many of the Board of Directors are on Senior Advisory. All were in
favor of this change.
Adjournment at 1 :45pm
