MEMORANDUM
TO: Council on Aging Commission Members
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: June 5, 2025
SUBJECT: Emergency Training Dates
As you know, the Emergency Training funded by our recent grant will be held in either July or
August. The trainer has provided flexible dates, so we'd like to identify a time that works best
for both staff and any Commission members who plan to attend.
Please come prepared to share your availability —or let me know in advance if you'll be
unavailable during either month.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Council on Aging Commission Members
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: June 5, 2025
SUBJECT: Encouraging Consistent Sign -In for Lunch and Activities
To support smooth operations and maintain accurate funding reports, it is important to explore
gentle but effective ways to remind patrons to sign in for lunch and any activities they attend at
the Center.
Reasoning:
• Signing in helps with accurate meal counts, grant reporting, and activity planning.
• It's not about policing —just maintaining good habits and helpful data.
Possible Ideas:
• Should we place friendly reminder signs at key entry points?
• Could volunteers or staff do gentle verbal reminders at the front desk or lunch line?
• Is it worth exploring a small incentive or recognition for regular sign -ins?
