The increase in attendance is due to the new programs and activities added and the increase in the food distribution program. The daily drop-in attendance averages about 24 people per day (5 seniors per hour). These are either patrons or visitors who come in to receive information and or register for various trips, workshops and activities. The volunteer hours remain relatively unchanged compared to last year despite the hiring of two part-time (20 hour) staff and losing several long time regular volunteers due to health reasons. The service offered by the two new Office Assistants who work Monday through Friday help to provide better customer service and add continuity to daily operations. SEPTEMBER New fee increases went into effective September 1 and introduced a resident and non-resident rate for the first time at the Senior Center. For example, the cost of the special luncheon had been $6.00 for all participants. The raise increased the special luncheon 50 cents for residents and$1.50 for non-residents.
