III. Guest Speaker: Mark Langwell, Research and Planning Coordinator for College
Station Police Department
Topic: Citizen Police Academy: Mark Langwell was unable to attend due to
illness.
IV. Report "Senior Friendly" brochure: The committee reviewed three copies of the
brochure with the corrections and additions as suggested at the last meeting.
Marci explained that she had worked with the Public Relations and Marketing
office to seek advice on the brochure. The suggestion was made by Wendell
Home to have local businesses look at the brochure and seek their opinion.
Marci will contact Target and Copy Comer. The middle section of the brochure
which reads "Ways to Reach Seniors" was discussed. The committee felt that
the word "Provide" should be in bold letters at the top and each phrase changed
so that provide would begin each listing.
The committee discussed the recognition of winners and suggestions included a
store decal or sticker similar to the BBB to be placed at the door or window of
the business. Also, recognition in the Eagle and a certificate awarded at a City
Council meeting. The brochure sub-committee will meet prior to the December
Advisory Committee meeting to bring forward a recommendation.
