Minutes of the Board Meeting of December 11, 2019: The Board examined the Minutes of
the Board Meeting of December 11, 2019. After examining the minutes of said meeting, Norma
offered a motion to accept them, seconded by Tom. There was no discussion and the minutes
were accepted by a unanimous vote of the board.
Estimated Budget Status to Date and Warrants: Jo pointed out some expenditures from the
Formula Fund Grant, otherwise there were no comments. Acceptance of the reports was moved
by Tom and seconded by Norma; then passed by a unanimous vote of the Board.
Correspondence: Josephine received communication from Dementia Friendly America, which
generated a short discussion. There is a process and a form to fill out if we wish to be so
designated. Jo will meet with the Massachusetts Project Manager on January 29. Board
members were encouraged to send any questions we may have to her prior to this meeting. It
was suggested that we ask the consultant from UMass Boston, Jan Mutcher, to attend our
February meeting.
Director's Report: Jo gave a brief review of upcoming programs: An Irish step dancing
program sponsored by Southeast Rehab; a Retirement Preparation program to be presented by
Tina Walsh our chair yoga instructor; an AARP Tax program in February; Valentines Day and
Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras programs with entertainment; also, Jo reported that they are working on
booking trips ahead for a full year so that people can plan for them, especially any overnight
trips. Jo will attend the upcoming BESI Directors meeting and the MCOA meeting on February
6.
Jo reported that she has hired Elisha Ribeiro as our new Activities Coordinator. Elisha brings
valuable experience to the position and we look forward to meeting her.
Old Business: Dick reported that he attended a Mansfield Downtown Business Association
meeting where they discussed new signage for the town. A short discussion concerning the
possibility of changing the name of our senior center (COA must remain the official name)
ensued. Mansfield Center for Active Living has been suggested as a possible new name,
reflecting an "active lifestyle" rather than the "aging" of the participants. It was decided that we
listen to what the Town Manager has to say when he comes to the COA for a morning coffee on
Wednesday, January 22 before making any decisions. Any change we make would have to be
sanctioned by the town.
