DESCRIPTION:
The Senior Center implementation of a door counter device installed at the entrance of
the building has provided a more accurate count of the number of people tha t visit the
Senior Center each day. The door counter counts entries into the facility daily, including
evenings and weekends. Previously, only hourly counts of the lounge were recorded
weekly between 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Some programs showing large increases in attendance were the Acrylic Art classes,
Ping Pong, Sign Language and Seniorobics. Other programs at the Senior Center that
continue to show large participation numbers for the fall session are The Line Dance
classes, Bridge and Melody Minstrels Jam Sessions. Staff has compiled a complete
breakdown of attendance from programs, activities, Shamrock Cafe, services, events
and volunteer hours (Attachment 1).
During the fall quarter the Senior Center had several key front desk volunteers and
volunteer instructors take time off for various reasons. With the return of key volunteers,
Staff expects attendance and volunteer hours to increase in the winter quarter. The
