Okay. So, we're gonna stop that.
You ready for us? Ready?
So, we have somebody that's on the
commission
uh that's teleconferencing in Jane
Cohen. And so what we want need to do is
confirm that the teleconference location
was proper properly noticed according to
state law and J answer.
Okay. Was that a shaking of the head?
Yes. Okay. I saw that. And is the
teleconference location accessible to
members of the public?
Is she chatting? Yeah, I don't know if
she can. Can you hear me, Jane? Hey,
Jane. Can you hear us?
I don't think it would be open.
Jane, can you hear us? I can hear you,
but can you hear me? Yes, you can. Okay,
so you answered the first question.
Hello. Teleconference locations properly
noticed according to state law. Yes or
no? Can you answer that,
Jane? So, Jane, I'm going to ask you
three questions. I need you to
respond. Do you understand?
Can you speak louder, please?
All right. All right. All
right.
questions which I need your responses

Can't hear her. Can you use a
microphone? I am using a microphone. Can
you turn your Can you turn your computer
up, please?
What's I think it might be Jane's audio
because I can hear you.
Yeah, I think my audio. You can hear me
though when I speak, right? Yes,
I think that's Try the first question
again.
Was the teleconference location properly
noticed according to state law?
I can't hear it.
It's because reflections. You might want
to talk
about email questions to Jane or we can
hold them up or maybe if I if I read
them maybe she can hear me. I don't
know. I think it's a different kind of
frequency voice. Okay. It's these ones,
right? Yeah. Okay.
Jane, I'm gonna try on this side.
Thank you.
Okay. Okay, Jane, can you hear me? Yes,
I can. Okay, I'm going to use my summer
camp voice. Um, was the teleconference
location properly noticed according to
state law? Yes, it was. Okay. Is the
teleconference location accessible to
members of the public? Yes. Okay. Is
there anyone present in the
teleconference location besides the
commission member?
Just just a brown hairy thing with four
legs. Otherwise, no.
Okay. I I think I think Jane has
answered those questions. Thank you for
doing that.
Thank you, Jane.
So, uh we are open for public comment
and we have two
residents that would like to
speak and I think these are items that
are not on the agenda. Um, first one I
have from Art Whipple of Miselia Hills.
Do I have the microphone or
you forgot? Did you do Paul again? I
think we need to do both. We need to we
need to call the meeting to order and
establish a non do the pledge of
allegiance then we'll do the public.
Okay. I was sorry about that. That is
okay. All right. I call the meeting to
order if you don't mind waiting here for
just a minute.
Um can you establish forum for? Yes I
can. So Commissioner Besi here.
Okay. Commissioner Gallagher Thompson
here.
Okay. Um, Commissioner Trapno here.
Okay. Uh, Chair
Cohen. Chair Cohen here.
Perfect. Commissioner Huckaltz here. All
right. Uh, Vice Chair Olsson here.
And Commissioner Dixit. Yes. Okay.
We have a form. Wonderful. and stand for
the pledge of allegiance. You know what?
Just one quick thing before we do the
pledge of allegiance regarding forum. We
just want to make sure during this
meeting that we are timely and also if
people
leave on the commission before it's over
and then we have less than um the
members here to vote then we then the
meeting needs to end. So just just
wanted to mention that. Um, and without
further ado, we can do the pledge of
allegiance.
I pledge algiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.
Everybody, we do have five items that we
do want to vote on today. So, we want to
make sure we can be timely and pay
attention here for all the discussion.
So, thank you all for your attention.
Thank you for letting me speak today. I
have a couple of quick items. Mostly
what I'm trying to do is to make sure
that resilient myself and who spends a
lot of time figuring out how to take
care of seniors coordinates with you so
that you're not surprised by anything
we're doing tell us to stop if we're
doing something you don't like. Um item
number one uh at Tuesday last Tuesday's
special uh the study session uh at one
point uh council member Flighter uh
proposed that city staff set up a budget
for 500 emergency kits. Um Mr. England,
city manager said that that part was the
word of Los Alto. We're selling Los
Altos uh and we're working with the city
and we are already supporting seniors.
So, one of the things I wanted to know
is do we know where this request come
from? Did it come from the senior
commission by any chance?
Okay. All right. So, I will work with uh
with Nissan. Um we did start uh this is
part of the things that we're doing. We
did start working with this year's
commission uh uh compassion week
activity. So we will be doing that in in
October uh which mostly the part that we
do supports seniors uh in Los Altos with
emergency supplies done for the last two
years. Uh second uh one of the things
you need to realize is that in the event
of a significant emergency the the city
uh one of their planning assumptions for
their emergency activities is that they
will not be able to support uh citizens
of the of the city for up to five up to
seven days after a a significant
emergency occurred. So what's going to
support seniors in this period called
VOADS volunteer organizations active in
disasters. Brazilian Los Altos is a VOAD
active in Los Altos. Uh there are
several dozen uh VOADS active in Santa
Clara County. Um the one that is the
overarching boad for this uh is the is
Cadre which stands for collaborating
agencies disaster relief effort in in
Silicon Valley. Uh they're the official
Santa Clair County OAD. Uh for many
years the Santa Clair County Office of
Emergency Services uh had funded Cadre
uh and this year and next apparently
funding is no longer coming from FEMA so
that's not going to happen. So what
Kadri was able to do was to get in a a
grant from Americanore
um which uh in order to to fulfill all
the things for Americanore she needs
1,000 volunteers to spend it who are
over 55 years old who are willing to
spend at least an hour doing some
volunteer effort to uh make this go
forward. So, this is an opportunity for
volunteers to be engaged in doing things
that will support uh Santa Clair
County's uh emergency response because
Los Altos is not unusual. Mountain View
and PaloAlto all have the same idea that
we our six policemen and our six firemen
are not going to be able to take care of
30,000 people. Right? So, I'd like to
engage with you at some point figure out
how to get to the extent that you're
talking to seniors. We want to get them
to sign up to be spend at least an hour
doing uh helping evacuate people or
working uh in translation services or
going to a trail or pretty much anything
like that that we can do. So we'd like
to find a way to coordinate with with
Kaiser with the commission since you
seem to have an access to a lot of
senior folks. Real quick third item. Uh
we're going to be doing an outreach
program this year. we had a a a team
that is going to be going doortodoor to
seniors um and talking about how to get
prepared. So, this is an outreach
problem program uh that we're trying for
the first time this year. Maybe we can
expand it dramatically in the future.
One of the things we're going to try and
do is to work with the city so that we
have some sort of a badge that this kid
can carry so he doesn't look like he's
somebody just trying to scan the uh scam
the old people. Uh and then just one
line it one last item uh we are uh
presenting at the senior lunch uh which
happens on September 10th uh the day
after the health fair. So hopefully
we'll be engaged in both of those. The
giveaways that we're going to be doing
is uh this is at least one of those
items. You can just take care of look
this is what we're doing for uh getting
to plan for uh seniors. Okay, that's all
I have. Any questions? Yes.
Where did you get the list of
seniors that you could visit their
homes?
So, so we don't have that list. We have
the voter rules and we have that sort of
stuff, but we're basically going to be
walking doortodoor
uh to talk to people and say if they
want to see us, they can obviously say
go away, but we hope they'll engage long
enough to to say, well, are you signed
up for Alert SEC? And do you know
Genesis? Do you know how to get out of
your neighborhood uh if you need to?
So you would be at doors of people who
are less than senior. Yes. We're going
to go through the community and uh but
focusing hopefully on particularly on
the ones that are uh need more support.
You know the well even the 55 year olds
can probably get out of there. It's the
ones that are older than that that we're
really going to be interested in.
I have perhaps a redundant question.
Have you engaged with the ser group as
it volunteers to do this some of this
work that you described with with the
church group
ser yes yes we are the the loss all are
part of resilient loans yeah about 125
of us are beautiful yes um you were
looking for volunteers senior volunteers
yes
what kind of training will they get uh
probably they're going to walk in with
the training that we want. Uh so it's
not so much training the volunteers as
having them be volunteers. So uh we're
going to be having them working in in
compassion week for example putting
together uh hygiene kits and emergency
kits for seniors as an example. So to
the extent they spend an hour working on
that they would we have emergency
documents that are in uh different
language or they're mostly all in
English and we need to get them into the
threshold languages of Spanish Tagalog
uh Japanese Vietnamese and there are
five languages that really Santa Clara
County should be
you wouldn't be having this kind of an
assembly here then I can get volunteers
Uh well I don't want so we're planning
at this point. We don't have any
specific things. I know there's going to
be a bunch of activities going on in uh
when the passion week goes on which is
uh October 4th through 12th. Thank you.
very much. Thank you.
Appreciate you coming in updating us. Do
we have his number? Yes. We have it on
the I want to say there's three
anticipating you participating in Yes.
Thank you. Thank you.
So we
have Kathleen Parker.
Yeah.
Thank you. Please do clarify your phone.
Sure. Not super great looking, but I'll
try.
Okay. My name is Kathleen. Is that
right? My name is Kathleen Harter and
I'm the outreach coordinator for
Friendly Voices. We are a local
nonprofit out of Melo Park that is
combating loneliness and seniors. Our
founder Doris Stur started the um
foundation in for the nonprofit in 2020
after the pandemic. And what we do is
pretty simple. Well, seems simple, but
it does take a lot of compassion and
friendship is we create one- on-one
calls every week with seniors who might
be feeling lonely and isolated. Um, our
volunteers, we have over 90 volunteers
in 23 and 24. We made over 5,000 calls,
our reach calls. Our calls are set up
every week um at a mutual time. The
volunteers are HIPPA compliant. their
background check and they go through
about a threeh hour training with Laura
um what compassionate listening um what
to listen for if there's crisis um and
so on. So we were awarded a grant from
the Elino Healthcare District and we're
combating this loneliness primarily in
Sunnyville Mountain View Los and other
surrounding areas. So we're working with
Stanford Hospital with their
transitional care teams and um the
psychiatric team their geriatric
psychiatric team
there's met before um we're working with
hospitals set hospital
um one so and then local nursing homes
um community centers drives you know
dishes etc.
I mean, that's what we're doing and I'm
looking forward to partnering with the
town and seeing how we can go with it.
Um, we need to talk. I'm William
Buckles. I'm a position. Uhhuh.
Um, I have some
um offers to you to speak at
and would like to work with you. That
would be wonderful. But there's a 30%
increased mortality. Yes. Yeah. I mean
loneliness affects seniors well actually
just people in so many different way
because you know
depression recali rates go up and so on.
So and it and we're different. We're not
a wellness check like
um we don't call in and we don't call um
our senior guard our buddies and make
sure that they've taken their medicines
or things like that. It's you know if
it's just strictly about companionship
and friendship and um most of our
seniors have been with us over some of
them have been with us almost five years
since we founded and stuff.
This another perhaps
trivial question. Do you curate any
solution for the seniors that might need
it? Do we create solutions? Curate or
facilitate?
I like if they need help like with a
service or provider or some other form
that do they come to you with you as a
part of it evolving their loneliness and
problems. Do they do they ask for help?
Yeah, some of them some of them would
well a lot of our um referrals come from
the hospitals and care teams and we
worked a lot with the case managers and
social workers on like if um you know we
have a from somebody like our volunteer
place a couple calls and we haven't
heard back and so we have kind of a
partner in the healthcare industry that
we work with to help do that. But yeah,
we we're not we don't like to do
referrals of like this would be your
best bet here or that because we don't
have enough experience with that and
we're we're we're primarily just trying
to build friendships and stuff but we
will we won't leave them. We'll
definitely
help. There we go. Thank you very much.
You're
welcome. So that's wonderful.
Thank
you. I love having
Thank you very much
to our residents that came in and
participated. We appreciate that. Um,
now we
will go to our items of um, minutes for
approval for
our April
meeting. So, everybody's had a chance to
review those minutes. Anybody care
to make a motion for approval of the
minutes or changes?
Approval.
Okay. Second.
Yeah. All right. Any uh anybody opposed?
We'll think about anybody.
Okay. Thank you very much. So, we have
one sing
and then you have five approved four
minutes to pass. Yes. Yes. Very good.
Thank you. So now let's move on to our
next which is the senior health fair and
we move to the staff recommendations. We
have five items which we're going to be
voting on here tonight and let's the
first one is to finalize the event title
so that way we can move forward with all
the marketing and promotion of this
album.
Um I would say does anybody have any
comments recommendation? Yes.
So um so I attended the health fair that
was held in Certino uh in in May and it
was called live well age well and it was
really it was terrific. It was an
outstanding experience and I thought it
was a great title live well age well. I
don't know if we can use the same title
or the variation, you know, slight
variation on it, but it certainly
captured what I think ours what we hope
to accomplish. And I don't see why we
couldn't use it, you know, they haven't
copyrighted it or anything. And uh what
I loved about
it, besides the title, uh was that they
had the whole program on the back. So on
the when you came in the door, you got
the flyer which had the, you know, the
basic information but in pro the child
program. So you didn't have to go, you
know, fiddling around or looking on your
phone or finding little slips of paper
or you should be here or there. It was
all in one. And I
thought about it that would be a a
thought for the marketing pairs to to
consider doing something similar. So
that's my vote. live well age. Thank
you.
Any Dr.
Thank
you. Um I'm uh thinking about a
longterm goal of optimal health
uh that
the rec department would want to
promote. And I wonder if that was
I wonder if that is a type of um
endeavor that the health fair by
whatever name chosen
uh would be an initial initial part.
So I I would like the name for the
upcoming fair
uh to be in the context of ongoing um
presentations to the
community. They would be related to um
health.
Um I don't have any other specific
recommendations other than promoting
optimal health span which is not going
to be part of the title for the event.
Thank you very much. I agree. I think
the idea of you know a long lifespan has
sort of been replaced by the idea living
long isn't the objective it's living
healthy and long so that your idea has
a
widle maybe helping lip span as opposed
to just
helping I That's all I'm happy with
whatever you choose. So it sounds like
Dr. vocals. You're talking
about a continuation of what the senior
commission might offer through different
speakers or different activities
throughout the year which would cover
the optimum health span and
longevity rather than having it be for
this particular
goal. um that health span idea optimal
health span
um exhibition
or program I don't have any catchy title
for it
expo idea I had another thought and that
is it's never too late to feel great
that's kind of a catchy one you have the
subtitle has to
be the subtitle live well age well live well into your hundreds or
something like that you know the
longevity so some so I kind of like that
one occurred to me um the only uh the
only input I had about using the same
title was that we are trying to
establish our identity here and if we
start with a title that we can continue
to use each year. Then we'll have some
repeated um you know people who will
attend or we'll have some kind of a
repeated understanding of what our ideas
are or what our commission is trying to
do for senior health. So not the same
title as somebody else but our own. It
could be similar. I like
optimum healthy lifespan. Optimal
healthy lifespan.
I don't know what that means.
[Music]
Optimel three minutes to finish this
title.
Can I make a suggestion? Just because
when this flyer gets created, we're
going to get lots of calls, right? So,
we want to we want something that is
going to be easy to understand just what
is it? And so, if you have something
that, you know, we had an open house,
it's just something because then it's
also easy for the folks at the front to
help promote. I think these are great
but just think of it in the marketing.
Good point. Very good point. So, so far
the one I like is healthy
lifespan, but there was another one
optimal healthy lifespan.
Yeah, you optimal health optimal health
span. And
that's going to require too many. What
the hell are you talking about?
So
long I don't want to say any
the book that I wrote was live longer
live larger but um live longer live
health there's drugs to help
this was not advocate Yeah.
Something like this is very very
personal. Some what what is a a
wonderful name for to someone to one of
us perhaps not for the other. My sense
is that this particular man has been
essentially tried and true as guilty as
I am. So my sense is why not that I have
no problem being a a copycat. Yeah. Not
much as long as it really conveys the
meaning that we're trying to do. In
fact, I I do agree with the big deal
here that I think what we want to do is
you know somewhat imply a uh a sustained
effort on our part.
Excuse me. Can I can I
Okay. But anyway, so my my sense is that
I think for lack of better option for
that better suggestion, I would be
entirely content to go with as well.
Which is which one you're pointing to?
The one age well. Yeah. Jane, do you
have any comments or
suggestions? Okay. So, I guess having a
general overview such as something
that's already worked, it covers those
that might be 50 all the way to 90. Um,
and it isn't just specific and we can in
the marketing we can also add in titles
such as optimum health span and
longevity. Doesn't have to be the
overall purchase title would be my
thought. So they you can also add in
it's never too great but that's that can
be under what we're really trying to do
and as we had mentioned the last at our
last meeting we're
covering seven different topics of
trying to demention nutrition exercise
sleep socialization caregiving and
public safety so
to cover all of that well I think really
is general enough we cannot cover it.
Okay. Live well, age well. How many
want? Wait, wait. Can I please?
Are there any other comments? I I have
going off the live well, age well. We
could say live healthy, age healthy, and
bring in the health more than than was
true so far.
So we're not exactly copying. We're
liberating.
We could add the
loss out way.
No, but you have to have those skills as
well. Okay. Well, I think what you could
do is have a subtext that essentially
covers your locality.
doesn't have to be the product. It could
be a subject that somebody can can pick
up the employer can see it as a top
subject is a space.
Do you have any comments? I
like it. Well, I think liberal age
health expo would be my my vote because
it tells exactly what it is. It's you
know it's an expo you know there with
You also have vendors and so you have
that already knowledge once we get that.
Let's move.
Any other comments? Jane.
Okay. Very good. Are we
ready? Let's make a motion to vote on
the title a health exp. I move for the
vote.
Okay.
I second.
All right. All those raise your hand for
the title.
Yes.
Any
oppose? No opposition. All right.
What is our title? Liberal age well
health expo
maybe something about
that can be in the small small something
right. The only thing I would say
without any city name is we want people
from other cities to come not just from
the salt or the
hill or we want
[Music]
San that's all part of markets and
getting the word out and I think that
social media social media our contacts
you don't want it to think oh you have
to go to those cities um Yes. Okay.
How about sponsored by the city of
city?
[Music]
That can easily be put in the marketing
journal. Yes. But having the title that
we can put across for which is the segue
to item number two of the marketing
banner
location which we have two choices.
suggestion would be the San Antonio El
Camino by Chef Choose up there or Long
Lincoln
Park. Open that up for discussion.
Can you please say that again? Sure. San
Antonio El Camino. We have a so the city
would be providing and printing up a
banner which would go across the street
and the locations two locations that
would best reach those
commuters two choices would be Lincoln
Park which it
is near what is Main Street and uh
Foothill and so you're going north or
south you can see it or you have it at
El Camino and San Antonio which is near
chef shoes and it's going across San
Antonio. So that way you're also getting
going south and those folks going.
We can only do one. All right. For
comments, please. We'll take five
minutes on. Yeah. My original I made
that suggestion that we have it across
main street because that very visible to
Los Altos, but it's already taken from
that date. So we can get either the
Foothill Expressway, you know that big
long fence that's Lincoln Park on
Lincoln Park. It would be along that,
right? Or it would be I guess across San
Antonio.
So the San Antonio one gets more
traffic. It's on the corner in front of
like above chip shoes doesn't literally
cross. Okay. So it's a sh location. So
if you're going
down or the city
if Yeah. Or San Antonio not you don't
see it from one
direction south.
going south for sure. Yeah.
Okay.
Any other comments?
Why can't we have two
money for
the I thought there was a budget
there. There is but there's other things
to consider for the fair. So if you do
that then you take away from other parts
in the town right because there's going
to be other ways giveaways the different
things that our city will be providing.
So there's one. How much is it going? Um
it can be up to between 500 to
700 for one. And so you could use if
you're spending all of that on those two
banners, you're going to take away from
other things that we need for the fair.
And just to factor in all the other
marketing opportunities that are going
to cost us, social media, we're going to
do ads.
The speed of people on
port is faster than
Elino. Okay. There's more traffic going
down to low, but I don't know if that
would
be as
effective as a lot more foot
traffic and people
who stop light there. So, they're going
to be looking at
something.
Um, I would appreciate any other ideas
on where people are going to be most
receptive to looking at this and
possibly making a decision.
Jim, do you have a thought?
If you don't, that's okay. I'm I'm okay
with Again, this is very subjective. I I
really do frequent the downtown area a
lot. I frequent the community. I I find
both of these options quite quite
viable, but I'm not the only one. So,
thank you.
So, personally, I think the San Antonio
would reach more residents that are not
Los Altos. Yeah. And so that's if we're
wanting to outreach to Sunnyale,
outreach to Menllo or Palo Alto or
Mountain View, I think placing it with
San Antonio would be the the optimal
spot. And in Los Altos, we have so many
businesses. We can put paper ads in all
the businesses and that should cover.
Any other comments? Be ready to vote.
All right.
Somebody want to make a motion to move?
I make a motion that we take San
Antonio.
Okay. Does someone second? Yes. All
right. And let's raise the hands of
those to approve San Antonio
location. Those that would prefer the
um All right. Jane, did you vote?
So, what do you want? San Antonio.
I can't hear every nuance of your words.
I know you can hear me perfectly, but I
can't hear you.
Um, do you do you have a a vote for the
banner either being on at Lincoln Park
or San Antonio or El Camino? So they
just everyone who voted right now for
San Antonio El
Camino and then if there's opposed or
interested in voting for Lincoln Park
for the banner to be placed. Oh for the
banner. Yes.
So, so people voted already to have it
San Antonio. And
so, so far those that are in favor of
the San Antonio El Camino
location that you can still vote for
that or the second choice is Lincoln
Park.
I like the San Antonio El Camino. I
think it's more inclusive of mountain
view of different communities that we
want to bring forward to our to our
health fair. And that's my perspective.
If you have it at Lincoln Park, it's
very um Los Altos Los Altos Hills only.
And I just like to see it a little
broader than that. I don't know what
you're expecting. Yes. You join everyone
else's votes. Well done. So the vote at
Thank you very much. Appreciate your
input. All right. Moving on to item
number three. providing feedback and
direction on the
giveaway and direction on
giveaway. Yeah.
And so
well I recommended I did look at all the
options that were in the right price
range. My recommendation was to we can
probably only do one but maybe two. um a
keychain that goes around the wrist, you
know, because people were joking about
when you mention the question. So, where
did I put my keys?
Wonder if they can have a random risk.
Okay. And we've also had ideas of a bag
that they can put everything in. Another
one or a notebook.
[Music]
Um my wife suggested having a raffle so
that people will sign in and be given a
numbered
ticket and at various
times the people attending are going to
vary but we can keep people motivated to
be around during the times that the
winning numbers are going to be. as far
as the items will be given. Um, it can
be a much more
modest
price, but um, simply would only be
actually raffling off maybe five of
them. Um, that would be within a budget
and within reason.
Anybody else have funds? pretty good.
But what I would also like to add is
since we're still working on vendors in
which uh who would be participating many
times, I know at
the fall expo that we had at the senior
grant, there were a number of vendors
that gave out bags. So, I think if we
can hold off for a month and secure the
vendors and see if we
can
request them or if they have the bag so
that way we're not putting money into
something that will already be provided
and for them it's advertising because
they have the fun. But I wanted to add
on that. Um, uh, I spoke with a few,
it's okay. I spoke with a few vendors
whom I spoke with and they said that,
uh, they need more lead time to invest
in bags. So, at this point, they'll only
bring whatever they have left over.
September.
Just a point. The microphone is for
Zoom, not for us in the room. So, I can
tell Jane was straining to hear you. So,
I see. Yeah. Thank you.
Comments. Well, the only Oh, go ahead. I
was just going to say I think it might
be good to have some handouts as
well, you know, assuming we get the bag,
right? Uh so by handouts I mean for
example the list of upcoming senior
lunches who the speakers are the new
lunches are uh upcoming things that they
fall for right I meanformational items
that we know about because we're tuned
into it but a lot of people don't that I
find and they don't get the town crier
you know the receiving notices so forth
so I think that we ought to have that as
part of our giveaway boy.
Oh, you know, I think we need to decide.
It's it's a little giveaway that would
give everybody kind of sort of with the
name of the of the event on it in some
way. So, if it was a pan, they could
have the name. If it was the nonperfect
name, I'm not sure about this thing for
the king as opposed to something that
just a few people get if we get a
raffle. I was thinking a
triple all that information would be
given including people register.
So that that basically you're flooding
the market.
So are we voting on the item or one
versus
uh raffle versus the Well, I think with
the raffle that is one way to keep
people there and keep them interested
and have them either have them have a
raffle for the speakers. So they come
and listen to a speaker as a way to
direct them and inspire them to go
listen and then come back. So that could
just be five items and that would be a
donation or potentially a vendor might
be able to supply. Um may may I just
provide a little a little
context? There's a couple things. So,
the the giveaway is is something to
decide on like
um the keychain or is it going to be a
bag or a notepad and pen? Um when you're
talking about a raffle, that could
potentially be something where you're
looking, you know, to businesses to
sponsor something or maybe the vendor
wants to contribute something to a
raffle. But I think for this particular
item is do you have um something you'd
like to see as that work that is being
handed out. So for example, when we did
our open house, we had a bag um for that
event and which had what the event was
on it. So that's just the difference
between the two. And so it sounds like a
couple things have been mentioned.
Do you know
what do you know the price?
cost they have to be they have to be
under a certain number and I think it
might be $4 or so. They usually sell
them in bulk. So I think first the idea
would be what type of
[Music]
giveaway is the commission interested in
then we can look at what the prices are.
The only thing is that you could have
both if you have the right and you get
members to contribute something.
The only reason for the giveaway is
there is a budget
for the It looks like Jane has our hand
up. Hey Jane, you
Yes, I do. Let me um shut it down. But I
was wondering if if one of the prizes or
the main prize could be an offering of
one of the classes that we hold
like out of maybe five classes or they
can choose among five classes. That's a
good present because they have to pay
for classes. Anyway, just an idea. um
that's
so so keeping with what Bridget was
talking about of our giveaway from the
senior commission to everybody who's
coming and I think having a logo having
the name of the event on something so
that way
um has our the city gun exactly what it
is and if it is a bag then they have
something that we give them and they
will be reusable.
Excuse the shopping bag. It would be a
durable um advertisement.
So with the budget, we'll figure out the
budget and we can figure out how many
can purchase within that. So to be the
first 100 that come, people that come.
Are we saying we're having a bag? I
haven't heard what.
[Music]
Take
another same sample. So I have a bag.
A thought could be I don't know what the
budget is for the giveaway, but it could
be we spend a certain amount on so many
bags and maybe another amount on
keychains or wrist for keys. And that
way the first 100 people get a bag
everybody else gets the rest. I have a
process question. Do we have a budget
subcommittee that decides how much money
we have and what goes to what bucket so
we can make
decisions largely based on what what
that budget indicates for us what line
items it can support. Do we have that?
there is the budget. Um, but then it
depends
with with this particular decision that you're all going to
make. Then we'll see what the cost is.
And wait, I mean, I can give you input
because I've been working with J on
this. Sorry, I didn't. There is a
budget. What I was saying about the
amount per item isn't like we're going
to pay that much. However we get the
item, it has to fit within. We're
expecting 100 maybe 200 people. One
question for you. Do you know the what
the budget is? I know roughly and she
gave me a
list of items that fit the budget. Okay.
All right. So we couldn't So you pretty
much answer my question. That means
there is a budget there and also a body
of people that know what that line is in
that budget or is that true? I don't
know if budget is too strong. is what
they spend in the past and assuming the
number of people that might attend being
on the order of
200 in solution, right? Okay. She wants
to say something. Jane has her hand up.
I'm going to pass this on because I
don't.
All right. Jane, thank you. Is it my
turn? You're talking about handing out
um like little tote bags, tote bags to
all the participants, everyone who
comes. Is that what you're talking
about? Yeah. Okay. So, I have a comment
about that. Um two comments. The the
little green bags that were given out
when the community center opened and and
for all their events as we were opening
other other aspects of it, they were
fantastic. People loved them. The size
was perfect and everything was great.
And they're not as expensive as bigger
bags. But I do want to point out when I
went to the Certino fair a year
ago, almost every single vendor gave out
a big tote bag with their, you know,
blasted with their name and everything
on the tote bag. So by the end of the
thing when you walked around, you ended
up like having 15 big tote bags. And so,
you know, I'm just I'm just offering
that up that there's going to be a lot
of tote bags. I'm sure they're going to
do that again. So, anyway, but I if
we're going to do tote bags, I think the
smaller ones are special
because the big ones, you know, you get
lost in them, but the little ones you
can use for little things. I just think
they're really they were really great.
People love them. Thank
you. Okay,
we need to move on. Uh, so we did talk
about giveaway bags, which the smaller
ones sounds like budget, but good option
and keychains could be another option.
Not having a budget, not knowing uh
exactly how many. I think we could look
into that and find out how much. So,
what's a list of possible items that fit
the budget? Right. But that wasn't
presented to us and it was not given to
us. So we don't have that. So I think we
need to tackle that discussion bring it
out for the next meeting and by that
time you can have an idea of the cost of
the smaller bags how much you want how
many you do want to purchase consider
having also keychains with the name and
marketing. If it's going to stay the
same you can use it the next year as
well. Y.
So, we don't need to vote on this at
this time. We're just going to be
looking into more of the budget items
and how much for the smaller bags and
the teachings and we can do a report on
that at the next meeting. I make for
last. No. Yes. Yes. I don't need to if I
just wanted to make sure that the the
comment Jane made is made of because
offering a class really.
Yes.
And that would be part of a that I think
that that was separate than the giveaway
for the raffle. I think that's something
the city at the table there which that
would be the classes that for parks and
rec will be promoting at this particular
event. They that would be great ways to
do giveaways for that.
So I just want to remind you that we do
not have I believe the July meeting. So
we would be pushing this till August and
then that means probably like a month is
time frame. So my recommendation may be
that if you decide hey we want a bag and
a notepad saying hey Jamie this is what
we like ideally can you do this and see
you can work with the numbers.
But we don't have all the options that
are supposed to be within that budget.
So, first you need to get presented
that. I mean, she's not here, but you
know, talk about the wrist thing, uh,
the bag, the pen. I don't know if the
pen and notebook, but certainly pen.
Those were the budget.
So people really like to be able to
[Music]
I know that I use the notepads and they
last a long time. So those are something
that we can agree upon
um that we would depending
upon later making. Oh, let's do
something else in addition. But the no
pads would be a starter for sure.
So I make the motion that we do take a
vote today because I think we do need to
get closure so we can move forward and
but I don't think it needs to be either
or. I think we can have
multiple things that we include in this
idea of giveaway.
So, let's make a I made a motion to vote
on giveaways which we have the ability
to talk about the bags and potentially notebook and the wristband
and it will then be determined by given
out within the budget that Jamie works
with. Does that
sound good? Okay.
[Music]
So, should you make a motion? Do we have
a second? Um, what the motion could you
to move forward with a giveaway working
with Jamie on pricing? Uh, so it becomes
items within the budget whether be
bags, notebook, pen or wrist.
Thank you. And we'll take a vote.
Everybody in favor of any these items
for giveaway and I'll determine what the
budget will be. All right,
Jane, but she can't hear me. Jane, we're
voting in f in favor of the giveaway.
Yes.
Okay, great. So, we have unanimous
on
that. Thank you very much. All right.
provide feedback on the
speaker. And so we've got the handouts.
We got Commissioner G Thompson.
Do you want to talk about that?
Yeah. So we have two speakers confirmed.
Two, one confirmed.
So the
woman I'm sorry will do the overview
talk on healthy aging preventing
cognitive decline something like that
because she she's working on the title
and the topic of family caregiving
building resilience in family caregivers
the personality is an expert in her area
as well she works for the VA she has to
get permission so that most likely that
will
The other piece that I wanted to say
about this is that Jamie has been Jamie
has contacted I believe it's both police
and fire. Um I'm not 100% sure. I
couldn't find my notes on that but I
believe it was both of them about
regards to safety issues public safety
issues and both are agreeing to be
vendors which I shared with you and as
well as giving a talk of some sort. So
in the last meeting at uh well I
followed the outline that Amanda who
used for the certino health
fair of having the speaker commit to 30
minutes and no longer than 30 minutes.
So 30 minutes giving them move from
30,000 sheep you know the overview of
what a philosophic was then there would
be about five 10 minutes at the most for
Q&A and then they would
transition there according to the
tenative schedule that I am proposing
there would be up to nine speakers and
that depends on whether we're hearing
from the other individuals from the
committee whether we have any of the
other ones firmed up I How many how many
we actually have at this
point? Maximum we could handle is nine.
I don't think we wouldn't have
nine but if we had six that would
probably be ideal. Why? Because Dr. Buck
would like to have a panel and in order
to have a panel discussion we need to
have time in the schedule for that to
happen. So if we had six speakers there
would be time for a panel discussion. um
at the you know toward the end of the
time or we could put it wherever but there would be time to
drill that in. So um I guess that's the
working report that I can give at this
point. I think we've made progress
there's more to do to firm things up but
I think if we have in mind six figures
would probably be
optimal. Um, but we could go online and
if we want to do a panel, then we have
to figure out where exactly to put that
and how to how to work that in. May I
please make a comment?
Um, ma'am, would you respect you're
talking about nine speakers? We haven't
found nine so far and we have very
little time left.
We're not meeting next month and in
August if we decide what if we don't
have these many speakers what is the
backup idea to have the panel to fill in
with the panel the panel would be the
backup well the panel could reserve no
matter what but it would fill in the
time very nicely if there were six
people I see okay thank you for can I
make suggestion also
I would think that six might be enough
to exceed as opposed to something for
and possibly try to exceed. That's
largely because people get saturated.
They
get information overload and we lose attentiveness. So my my feeling is
six is probably not about
so at this point
Sorry about
[Music]
um I have made contact with Linda
Conover who is both uh has a business
uh relating to
caregivers and is giving a
talk there upon
um at the church I go
to she is agreed to be a speaker about
the issue of
caregiving remind me the name of the
young woman who spoke earlier here
Kathleen was a C or K C
and her last name I'll give it to you
later Okay. Um, I think that she might
be also a potential speaker.
Excuse me.
The social the social
isolation in its literal sense is a
killer.
The
[Music]
loneliness is a 30% increased mortality.
So you have the
potential then of healthy aging family
caregivers like the two people who can
give aspects of that and then
[Music]
um loneliness isolation.
So that would if it works out that be
one, two, three, four
speakers plus the two public safety,
right? Plus two. Oh, two public safety.
Thank you. I would imagine that they
would be together
or independent. You will have to talk to
him. Looks like Jane has a comment.
Jane, you're
Yes, it is. Is it my turn to talk? Yes.
You're talking about the caregiving um
possibility for one of the speakers. You
know, the our county, Santa Clara County
is have has a huge initiative about this
and and the people to call to get the
most current people on the topic would
be source-wise who I'm on their advisory
board and also they're going to be one
of our vendors. They're the ones that
are working with that carefully and they
know all the resources for that. So
before we just think of people that we
know, go to the source, which is
source-wise, and find
out, you know, what the initiative is.
It's it's a whole countywide thing, and
they're really working on it. They have
funding for it, too, unless the feds
pull it, but right now they have
funding.
That's it. Thank you. Question.
Um, Dear and I are the couple. We're
talking about the flow of the day and
the structure of it. The structure is
going to be dependent upon the number of
speakers because they need time. And I
would say that um 30 plus minutes
um is a possible again if we okay so we
need to stay on the subject. So that
that's that's another topic. Okay.
Sorry. Thank you.
Okay. So we have
the we got your feedback. Any other
feedback from speakers? I'll have one
more. One more. Okay. One more thing I
wanted to say and that is that we need I
thought we needed to get exercise in
there for movement and I I talked to
Jamie separately about the involving
some of the uh people here who do
classes and that was a very popular part
of this one with the two of them because
they offered that they had Zumba gold
they had chair exercises um I forget the
third one they could they used this
three different time slots and so they
had an exercise or movement component in
each of the time slots and it was very
well received. So, um Jamie I know
contacted a couple of the features here
that that offered movement classes.
Again, I'm sorry I don't have all the
details. I don't think anybody's firmed
up yet. I think it was a matter of did
we have a speaker for that or would it
be better to do demonstrations and her
view or demonstrations would be better
and I would second that based on the
group that she wants to raise. So I
think we have I'd like to be sure we
have exercise in well
I think that's great suggestion. All
right. So any other discussion on the
speaker on the speaker. Okay.
Um just a quick calculation if we have
three hours of time and we have six
speakers that means we having one person
speaking every 30 minutes. That covers
the entire time and we have no time left
for the vendors. They are in they would
be in the three rooms that are available
and the vendors are in a separate room.
People go back and forth. So there's no
Certino. There was a great flow of
people float in and out. So they would
go maybe to hear a talk then they would
go to the baker and then they would do a
chair exercise. So there's a lot of flow
and movement. Nobody's like sat in the
chair for you know three hours till we
call. Okay. Yeah. But then that brings
us to what Bill was talking about.
That will be determined after we have
the speakers set up. Okay.
So let me hand it back to you regarding
refreshments.
Our next item unless any other comments
regarding uh speakers. Okay. Very good.
Thank you. So for refreshments, there is
really no vote needed. Um I spoke with
Losato Hills to provide us refreshments
and they've very kindly said yes. Um
Loato Hills will need us to give them a
number and Jamie has suggested about 200
to 250 people and so they're going to
provide a boxed meal. We've suggested
that it should be not a lunch or a
dinner but a snack. So, they were
thinking about providing a sandwich, a
drink, and
um like a healthy
bar, but um James said that Los Altos
will provide all the
beverages. So, there's no drink in the
box. There's a there's a sandwich,
there's a healthy bar, and perhaps some
fruit. That's it. That will come
directly. You get delivered here at
11:00. Um, they're looking at caterers,
so there's no vote. It's done.
Anybody have questions?
Seems like a good
Perfect. Very
good. Let's see. So, then we move on to
Well, it's the vendor that would be
under our
um
just our reports. Yeah, you should do
the vendor report. Okay. So,
vendors uh there was a list of vendors
that have been contacted you started.
You have I have the list and it was that
spreadsheet. You want me to put it up?
No, it's also been handed out in the
working reports with the vendor. So,
these are folks that we have talked to
and are working on getting confirmation of their ability to
um participate and be there. And I know
I'm meeting
with
a
senior, somebody that is in the industry
who can help us in making
suggestions with contacts within the
county as well as the city. uh and those
that have gone for is what I like to
say. And so I will have a updated and I
can send it to Jamie who then can send
it out to everyone. So that way we're
not just giving you the information in
August.
Question. What are the vendors expected
to do at the fair?
What are the vendors expected to do at
the fair? So they can take up.
So the vendors are expected to man the
table. Um
our community center is providing the
tables. They will get the vendors will
arrive at 11:00 to set up each table
according to their plan. They'll have
brochures and leaflets or maybe some
other visual aids and and giveaways and
there'll be a contact person with whom
we have been in touch and that person
will be available at the table to answer
any questions. So they will have the
table at all hours during the event.
That's it.
[Music]
church. So vendors were the most
exciting part of this whole
thing and you know granted I mean I love
lectures you know I love hearing people
talk and learning these things but all
that but the vendors were kind of the
heart of the matter because there was so
much that I had thought I didn't know
about I was you know the kids say blown
away right by what I didn't know about
what was available in three to four
seniors and how you could them that you
know who who to
contact. They all had giveaways of some
sort. Usually some paper things or
sometimes they had um like first aid
little first aid things you could take
with you or beautiful flyers very
colorful so you had information that you
could put on your fridge you want to
post somewhere at home. Very very
useful. So, I'm really excited that we
have such a good array of vendors.
We have Columbus. Oh, I have that. Okay.
So, then we've talked about vendors.
[Music]
Um, marketing. I think that's that will
start up now that we've got the city
able to move forward.
And any discussion on getting suggest
Oh, I know we have the Tom Prior having
an opinion on piece and
I'm supposed to be writing that and
giving that I will do that immediately.
Okay,
fantastic. And any other suggestions? I
mean we do social media but we can also
do our own um next door and help support
and then even
when we get posters and flyers we can
put them up on telephone calls. Do you
know when those now that we have do you
know when they will be available? I do
not because we have to get that and then
create it. So I don't have an exact
time. So would that be something that
could be sent out to everybody so we
could pick them up?
So what you're asking is once the flyer
is completed, we can make copies and
then you can pick them up as a group and
distribute. Yes. And I will say from
another organization when putting out
flyers many times you do two weeks,
three weeks in advance, not any sooner,
not any right more in advance because
they get torn down and they just get
forgotten. So maybe even August was not
it's not too late to get them to us
either because then we have an
opportunity to get that. Okay. But if we
could have it maybe
online, then we could send it out to our
friends and such and sort.
Yeah, I've given J some ideas to patch
for example.
Yes, exactly. Like next door.
Very sorry I forgot to say that I wanted
to pray about the vendors because I
didn't see it on your list. Maybe you
wouldn't think of it normally as a
vendor, but I was thinking about the
library. I think the library here is
amazing. And the library system in Santa
Clara Valley Library system is amazing.
Any book you want, they'll order it for
you. They'll bring it, you know, they'll
practically bring it to your house. Um,
no cost. Uh, they have they tell you
about films, canopy, there's all kinds
of um it's not just books anymore, as
you all know. there's a lot of love in
the win. So, I thought maybe if the
library had an opportunity to show their
wares that would be helpful to a lot of
cleaning again is something I had no
idea. I've learned gradually over the
years how to use it and what all the
detail.
Love that. Thank you. Thank you for that
question. All right.
Uh so then we're moving on to our work
plan.
The
event flow. Okay. So we have 14 minutes
before we go to work plan. Did we talk
about
the right
um the flow is that I mentioned it's
going to depend upon the
time that the speakers um have and how
we want the portions of
time for transition between talks.
There are three rooms for speakers and
then the large room is is it this room?
We have this
um for the but the speaker this room the
one across and which is the third group
Africa
sequoia apricot and sequoia are the
three groups
that's only activities or best lectures,
just the speakers. The speakers. Okay.
And if we do the demos, if there's
actually demonstrations that move, then
they will be on. Yeah. Hopefully get
that. Yeah.
[Music]
I still don't really have an
idea of how much time we have to allow
for people moving
around and I don't know whether we want
some kind of social
uh connection to
um to for people to network
Let me pass the mic.
Thank you. That's that's that's nice. So
I need three things that we need to
discuss. The first is when people come
in, they'll be coming in from this door
and that door. Do we want to have
registration desks uh or do does
everybody come to the information room?
Where how does it work? cuz one of us I
would like to be present at the
registration desk so that I can register
people in hand them all whatever bag or
keychain that they're supposed to have
give them the agenda.
How does it work? Well, I think that's
up to the commission to decide, but I
can give an example. When we had our
open house, we did have the registration
table, but we also had greeters. So, one
person was at the south entrance here,
then one person was over here just
handing out bags and guiding people to
the front desk which was kind of the
centralized area. Will we have staff
doing that or does one of us I think you
know that' probably be a discussion to talk with Jamie about in terms of how
you so I think you're trying to figure
out the flow and you haven't figured
that out yet. So that's what we're
trying to do right now. So we will need
registration. So whether a staff does
that or one of us has to give time that
we need to find out. Second, uh where do
we locate the refreshments? That's going
to be important because there'll have to
be a table where the v the the caterer
comes and delivers and u where we send
people to keep going and getting their
refreshments. The third thing is are we
getting any a separate room where people
will be able to sit and have their
refreshment or
um talk with each
other. This is something that we need
from the from the staff. I don't have
the answer right now but I know we do
have outside areas where people can sit
and that's how we had it as well. open
house, people are kind of coming and go
most likely. So, they're gonna grab
something, check out the vendor, and
we've got all these areas that can be
utilized. Do you intend to use the uh
the senior facility as a as a possible
area of lounging and getting together?
It's a potential, but I think it goes
back to the commission. My sense is if
she at least discuss it with them
because that that's really a wonderful
idea. Yeah.
So another and you're talking with Jamie
I believe was set up for food. So
depending on how many speakers that are
[Music]
actually set up that could be the food
area and then it could flow out because
you have a number of tables that are
sitting here too. It's not as if people
would be coming and
um staying and they eat and then other
people.
Yeah.
I think it's useful to have registration
at both
doors particularly since we want to have
a list of people who are attending so
that we can stay in touch with them for
future events. Can I comment on that
one? My feeling is that I think the
staff has this abund abundance of
experience with this particular issue.
You have done this many times. So I
would I would defer to the staff but I
think one of the scenarios that you
mentioned would be retailers followed by
leading people to a one central
registration place where we could do
work work yourself. just essentially
take information down, hand stuff out to
them and if you want to have their
contact information, we register all
that in one central place as opposed to
multimate. So again, a retail plus one
central registration in my viewpoint
would would work pretty well. But yeah,
pretty good sounds.
And that sounds like what you've done in
the past.
The one thing is for the the event. We
had we didn't have registration. We were
having people register for classes. So
people just showed up. So we were just
guiding people. So that's if that's the
question that you would need to decide.
Are people going to show up or are they
going to register? No, that I need I
would really recommend that we register
even if we have uh readers from the
staff that's great. We need that. If we
don't have anybody, I volunteer to man
the registration table. No, I think the
staff can do that. I don't know. They
might be busy with other things. If so,
I want
done a lot of that that kind of stuff
going on here because I'm very obsessed.
So, a vice chair. I think you're talking
about two different things. I think
we're talking about pre-registration in
advance, weren't you? So, we're talking
about registration. I know there are,
but you were kind of like you were
talking about a different thing. I was
basically trying to figure out with
events you could do a pre-registration
or for example most of our events we
don't do that. People just come because
then you run the risk of well I didn't
sign up so I'm not going to come. Yeah.
We don't want any previous to. Yeah. So
that simplifies things I think if you
don't have a registration. So basically
on the commission when you're going over
your layout where the public's going to
be coming in and out you're having
potentially greeters
who are just welcoming you know are they
handing out the bags that you purchase
is there a raffle those kind of I'm
sorry this is just I'm just giving an
example. Yeah. So if you say there is no
registration, there's no
pre-registration, right? You don't need
that. There is a registration when
people are coming in to the event, not
before on the day of. Why? Because we
want to keep their email addresses for
the future. That's why. Oh, there's
multiple reasons. That's that's one
reason. There are other reasons. I think
what we want to do is co use that
opportunity as a means of coordinating
people. And if you have half people
registering before, half people who are
not registering before, I think it's all
getting a little bit compled. I think
what we need to do is have the greeters
more or less hurt the people toward the
registration said and then we can we can
do the registration handing out the
whatever tet and trash we're going to
hand out to them and then go have them
go to the and guide them to where they
need to go. I think so too. I would call
it maybe instead of maybe we're getting
hung up on the word registration, maybe
call it a sign in sheet that people sign
in when they come
over the door. They sign in and they get
their name on their
email. I mean, I don't think that and we
can give them a printed agenda so you
know all the speakers where they are.
And I also think we need to give them
the option of not getting their name
emailed because I've seen I think we
need to because as a senior I'm not
going to trust email. I'm not I went to
this one and I didn't have to register.
I got a bag and I went around and it was
information gathering. I didn't need to
register.
I don't read any more emails.
So that is all part of the discussion in
the
I have another reason why we might want
to have sign in and that is because we
might want to get their feedback. So if
perhaps if we gave people a reading, you
know, we'd like you to sign in because
we're going to do a survey.
[Music]
Jamie, what do you have to say?
particularly inviting them to suggest
topics that they would like to see for
the next
special
literature literature.
I do have one option. Um, so I've seen
flyers where they have a QR code that
says, "Please give us your feedback."
And you could have a QR code and that
could be like your opportunity drawing
like, "Hey, give us your feedback that
it would be a registration." And then
they could win prizes if they register.
So that could be another way to an
incentive to fill out the feedback form
and get numbered.
Um, yeah, it's a good thought. I have
one more question. We have a bunch of
things that we are going to need
printed. Um, we're going to need our
marketing materials printed. We're going
to need our agenda printed. Yeah. We're
going to need, you know, things that we
will place like here is the room for
speakers put outside that this is the
time the speaker will speak. This is the
time the demo will happen. Do we have
since we're not going to have a July
meeting, do we have any specifications
for when this has to be done and how?
Yeah, that's that's that's a logistics
that staff usually works on. I mean,
tell me if I'm wrong, but staff should
be guiding us through how that that
takes place because that's a support
mechanism that needs to be in place.
She's right. Okay.
So, what generally happens is um we
either read the flyer or not sure if it
is creating a problem it and then um we
get it approved and then we can find the
links for you and your sub can give us
feedback to so now we have a name of of
the event date and stuff will you be
able to create the flyer now
independently or do you need us to do
any
I think we can go ahead and move forward
with creating drafts and then um I guess
that the discussion would be what drafts
do you want us to create? So if you want
us to create something that has the
agenda on the back and then um we can
work with your marketing sub commmittee
to just make sure we get everything we
need or that could come from the
marketing sub committee too. And how
will we work since we are not meeting in
July? It's going to be by email now in
the month of June with all of you. Who
is the marketing subcommittee?
YouTube.
I think somebody needs to work on a
format. So, let's make sure they don't
let that's the rules. You know, somebody
needs to work on a format of what shape
the flyer is going to look like. I mean,
like this one, right? And that's what
the staff. Okay. Exactly.
Do we need uh do we need commission
involved or one of his team of two
involved? The email doing it. Okay.
Got it. Thank you. That's good.
All right. Any other comments?
All right. So then we are on to flyers
working work plan. You have item three.
What the agenda? So senior healthare is
item two. Oh. So that's
just the next meeting because this
course
5:00. Exactly. Five is there. All right.
So move the item number three to
discussion for next
our next meeting.
So then staff oral reports staff reports. So does uh the town of
Los Altos have any oral updates they'd
like to share?
They just Oh.
I'm the only one here. I can tell you.
We just have Amina has something. Okay.
Yeah. Um we just have our Fourth of July
parade uh coming up for the Fourth of
July. Um it's the same parade we do
every year starting at Town Hall and
then we walk over to Gardener Bulis
where we just have some fun activities.
And then in August we have our um annual
movie night. Um the movie we're playing
this year is Moana 2. So feel free to
bring your family out and don't forget
to register.
Okay. And then from Los Altos, Chris.
Yeah. Adult 50 plus program brochure is
updated and available. You'll find us
all sorts of highlights, upcoming
lunches, upcoming after lunches. Yeah.
And more activities and gatherings. So
that's at the desk perhaps. Yeah.
Vice Chair, may I add something on the
list? I'll testify. Um, so I just want
to clarify what one of the public
speakers had said, Art Whipple. Um, so
what we talked about at council briefly
um was about one of the council members
had asked for um go bags for seniors.
And what the what the city manager
explained is that Brazilian Los Altos
actually has a budget for that already.
um that they would uh and I also
mentioned and this is the spoiler alert
that uh we've talked with uh aligning
the commission's goals next year with
council priority of um emergency
preparedness and focus and this
commission focusing on senior emergency
preparedness and and goat. So um so that
all came up at council last week so I
kind of spilled the beans.
Um anyway, so that's actually being
addressed, but I just wanted to let you
all know that that was mentioned. And so
if you hear it in a roundabout way, I've
now disclosed. So I think that's for
next year though. We're not going to
talk about that today.
We have coming attraction.
Yes.
Okay.
So flyers. Okay. Now we have the flyers.
So, um, for flyers, we've got our
upcoming family funday that the next one
is June 21st. We also have our camp
starting actually June 16th to August
8th, our summer concert with the
Peninsula Sipity Kickoff concerts going
to be happening this Saturday, June 7th
at Grant Park. And then after that, um,
on Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:00, uh,
we'll be having concerts. We will have
three at Grant and then three at
Hillview. We have our flyer that has all
the wonderful details. Um information
about becoming a volunteer. Anyone

plus is going to be doing the summer

really fun. These are also in your in
your packets. Is that adult 50? Adult 50
plus. Yes. Is that also reflected in
that flyer that you have? Correct. All
