Intergenerational-Claire Floyd The school year at Fireside has ended and we will resume in the Fall. Three volunteers attended the tea for volunteers at Fireside.

Carol handed out a package and referred to the group's goal, given at the end of the package. The Square Dance night, with a professional caller, was well received. We are still playing wii on Fridays. The Bloomin' Seniors garden club is going strong. We will be planting containers on May 27. We have a plot at the community garden and people are committed to it. We are going to plant bulbs outside the Senior Center. There is a dedicated core of participants. The group leader, Richard Cohen, is doing a great job. Touch a Truck Bake Sale Update Last year, we made enough money to buy tee shirts for senior volunteers. This year, no one is willing to head the group, so we will not participate. Plus, Panera Bread is donating baked good (bagels, muffins, etc.) at the event. Discussion items for the next meeting Rosalie asked what we are expected to do for the Council's July 14 study session. Connie reminded all focus group leaders to prepare their reports, which should include the group's goals for 2009 and Claudine asked us to give them to her by the end of June. Connie will talk about the awards the seniors have won this year. Rosalie asked what happens at the annual Ice Cream Social. Claudine explained that Louisville Senior Services invites seniors to this event, at which volunteers are recognized. The city has added funds for volunteer appreciation back into their budget this year. Larry requested that $500 be spent for this. Claudine reminded that at the July meeting we need to talk about who we want to start recruiting for next year's Board. Claudine will do an update on the Foundation. The Senior Foundation is meeting in June to create a Board Development Committee. Adjourn-Carol moved and Larry seconded, and it was unanimously voted that the meeting be adjourned.
