Director's Report: Non written. Lucy Smegielski reported the Senior Center is running smoothly. Lucy also reported Lorraine and Denise, the minibus drivers are very accommodating to the needs of the Seniors. They are able to accomodate more Seniors trips to doctors etc. The quartley minibus report was handed out. The format of the report has been rewritten and Looraine was asked for input on how it is working out. She said it is more time consuming because of treating each pickup as a separate trip even though she goes back and picks people up to take them home. Included in the bus report was a repair bill. Michael Rutkowski will talk to Murphy's Auto to question labor costs. Lucy wanted to make clear that no Senior in Prospect has to pay a fee to come to any Prospect Senior Center activity run by the Senior Center.
