began with introductions.
II.Discuss possible events to be offer for Golden Age Olympics
Peter Lamont and David Schmitz gave a brief description of the Golden Age
Olympics held in McAllen. Peter discussed the purpose of hosting an event
like Golden Age Olympics was to increase senior programs in the community
and to bring citizens of like interest together by offering a fun and non-
competitive event. It was felt that we should offer a few events that are
currently popular with seniors and have active participation. With time new
events will be offered. It was suggested by the committee that a questionnaire
th
be developed and distributed at the May 26 Seniors Expo to ask the seniors
what type of events they would like to see offered. Peter Lamont agreed to
write the questionnaire. The Program Committee suggested the following
events be considered: shuffleboard, card games such as bridge, dominoes,
monopoly, walking, horseshoes, yahtzee, bocce ball, crochet, pool, badmitton
and table tennis.
The committee will meet again once data is gathered from the questionnaires
and discuss sponsorships, costs, dates and events. The committee was
thanked for their time and wonderful suggestions.
III.Adjourn. The meeting adjourned at approximately 1:00pm
