FY2022

based Program Committee is active in determining the triannual curriculum. Classes are taught by volunteers or independent contractors. • Senior Center Special Events – Encompass large programs of general interest that are open to all members of the community as well as events specifically for members. For instance, dances, fundraisers, band concerts, choral performances, movies, or speakers. They often have sponsors and community partners and involve many volunteers. • Senior Center Technology and Video (SCTV) - Volunteers produce video content for broadcast on City Cable and Public Access channels. A part-time temporary video specialist provides instruction and training. SCTV brings programs that take place at The Center to television for homebound older adults and community members to participate virtually. They also are involved with creative endeavors and have a channel on YouTube to increase outreach. Finally, SCTV provides tech support for members and participants on a scheduled and walk-in basis which has increased significantly over the past few months due to relying on technology to provide continuous quality programming. • Senior Center Choir - The Center for many years has been fortunate to continue a tradition of offering a chorus. Voice of Experience is a fun and dynamic chorus open for all Senior Center members. They provide seasonal choral performances. Recent Accomplishments: • At the end of fiscal year 2020 there were 1,565 members with 162 or 10% on low income scholarships. This number is significantly decreased due to the pandemic and making a choice to not push for membership renewal for the last two months of the fiscal year due to the hardship’s members were experiencing. However, membership is not required to participate in many of The Centers programs and services • Volunteer support continues to be a cornerstone of The Center’s success. In fiscal year 2020 there were 588 volunteers who donate 22,000 hours of service • In an effort to increase accuracy of classes and activities provided to the community we have a new reporting system that lines up with our mission and vision statements and are reported below.
