equipment installed in two weeks and doors will open in 30-45 days. There will be a Certified
Trainer on sight. Fee memberships are based on a thorough study done by Lynn and
approved by the Recreation Services Manager and Recreation Director.
With the addition of a new part-time driver, transportation has expanded its services to La
Costa four times a week. Seniors from La Costa will have transportation Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday to the Center including shopping, medical appointments and Trader
Joes.
3. Nutrition Report - Jack Risley provided an update on April participant numbers for the
Nutrition Program. The volunteer appreciation dinner was a special evening honoring the
volunteers who served lunch to 300 hundred people attending Grand Opening. Staff and
commissioners, Nelson, Savary and Surridge helped serve appetizers and dinner to the
volunteers. Food was donated by the Center's congregate caterer who also donated the food.
The volunteers are still talking about how much they enjoyed the evening.
The Easter Seals Volunteers are adults who are developmentally or physically challenged
who help setup for Bingo once a week. On a daily basis the Interface volunteers, who also
have the same challenges, help setup for lunch. The volunteer's are also planting flowers in
the patio area that will be used for decorating home meal trays.
A part of the A.I.S. contract requires all Nutrition Managers to hand out surveys to their
congregate and home meal participants to ask their opinions on food, service, and
satisfaction of the program. Overall results from the survey were very positive.
