Circle of Hope.
Classes start up the first of June and registration is now open. Brochures have also been
mailed.
The 4'" Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. the Social Committee will meet to discuss new
ideas for classes.
Renee Garrett, Senior Center Supervisor, stated that there was a concern regarding the size of
plates being used at the potluck dinners. Currently we are using 7 1/2" (middle size) before we
were using divided Styrofoam plates. There was a concern that with a larger plate, we would
run out of food. After discussion, it was decided that the Senior Center would continue to use
the current size plate (7'/2"), which are also better for the environment.
6. Citizen comments/presentation regarding items not on the agenda"
Ed Havaran informed the group there are three (3) historical markers that were in the median on
Main Street in the Village and they need a new home. He suggested Sparger Park and the
Senior Center as possible sites.
