DESCRIPTION: Following is a summary of the attendance at the key programs and

Popular programs this summer at the Senior Center included Food Distribution, Bridge, Aerobics, Bingo,
Trips and Tours, Trail Trekkers and the Dinner Dances. A detailed attendance report is attached. During
the summer months, typically there is a slight drop in attendance as compared with spring as seniors join
their families and friends for summer travel and vacations. There has been a gradual increase in interest
in extended travel by Collette Vacations, a travel bureau specializing in senior travel. The new Hula class
was extremely popular. Following is a comparison of attendance over the past five years.
