A budget check turned into a blueprint for winter: we moved quickly from routine reports to the urgent questions seniors are asking right now—How do I get fuel help when funding is unclear? Where can I set up a will without paying thousands? Which programs can I count on through the holidays? We lay out what’s working, what’s delayed, and the practical steps you can take this month to stay safe, informed, and connected.
We share a major win: a new partnership with South Coast Legal Services bringing free estate planning and will preparation to income-qualified seniors. It starts with a December info session, then rolls into a January clinic with scheduled time slots. We also preview a full slate of seasonal programming—luncheons, a stroke-awareness talk with our public health nurse, and a festive holiday party—plus a push for Cultural Council grants to fund a 2024 music lineup that lifts spirits and fills the room.
Behind the scenes, we’re tightening the safety net. A one-page resource guide will point you to fuel assistance, vaccinations, Meals on Wheels, SNAP, elder watch protocols, transportation, and veterans’ services—designed to live on your fridge for fast decisions. Facility lighting upgrades are underway to brighten common areas during the shortest days of the year. We address scam calls targeting landlines, offer trip ideas that avoid long bus rides, and weigh how to keep the Friends group alive for fundraising and community momentum. The meeting closes with both continuity and change: an associate member steps into a voting role, and our chair retires after 15 years of service with gratitude and resolve.
