January 4, 1.984 Park Board Minutes Page 3 Kelly said there is a possibility of a second group being formed but the ..seniors fear separation and staff and space is a problem so forming. activity. groups would be a good alterna- tive. Kelly-said to be considered an active member they ..must attend 4 of 12 meetings. A party is held in December that is paid for through the money made at the seniors bazaar held-in April. That is why they must attend 4 meetings. Kelly said she is looking for men to dance with the senior ladies. She will possibly be seeking them through Rotary or similar clubs. Kelly s~.i.d there have.. been .requests from seniors for a hikers group, golf lessons, splash parties, tennis leagues., The response to the survey put out this fall was very.. poor. Gunderman suggested dramatics as an activity. Olson said the washboard band or instrument group would be a good idea. Dahl and Johnson agreed. Johnson asked if she was interested in reaching more people and said he-may be able to provide-some mailing lists. Kelly said yes. .Dahl thinks. it's good to intereact seniors with kids. Kelly said the seniors will be with the Pike .Lake kids. The kids will be putting on a program and the seniors will then do something in return.. Dahl said most kids in her neighborhood .don`t have an extended family and would like to. Gunderman said. seniors can be tutors or volunteers but trans- portation is always a problem, Gunderman said .perhaps the community services vehicle could be used for some of the senior's transpotat.on problems. Anderson said clot of communities have a donated van. Dahl-.said Christ the King has a bus. Van Hatten suggested contacting Control Data regarding their vans they use for car pooling.. Kelly said that the problem arises that the senior activities are .generally during. the day. Dahl suggested that the churches be contacted for any volunteer drivers.
