Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, September 18, 2023 Page 4 to as the Mayor spoke of, the Senior Resource Fair coming up. Down the road, we are going to have a resource fair with a senior section. We want all of the residents to come and enjoy this and get information on a regular basis. We have had a lot of support from University Hospitals and Governor's Village. They will be there with information for the community. Also, this Wednesday we have 5 O'clock Somewhere, a Jimmy Buffet event. For anyone who would like to attend, it's $5.00 for snacks and mocktail drinks available for the people there. Another one coming up that I wanted to speak about that turned out really well is a senior self-defense program. It's a free program for 65 and over. We had 15 spots. We are down to 3 spots in the first session. It's basically to help the seniors with identifying situations and how to protect themselves as they go about their lives. The Parks Board met during the daytime on Thursday. We reviewed the summer. They were all very happy with the progress of the pool and the swim lessons. They would like to see the pool open a little longer. We cut the hours back a little bit. They would like to see the pool open a little longer a couple of times during the week which we said we would look into. They are also happy with the Grove and the Gazebo. They had all positive things to say about the events overall. I told everyone at the concert last Thursday; they are my summer friends. All summer long I have my summer friends and I don't get to see a lot of them until next summer. I have my winter friends year-round. Andy takes all the pictures for free for the Village. He just donates his time all summer long. Kristen is another one who helped me work the table on Thursday. There's a nice group of people who come down to the Grove, residents or non-residents. They are just very nice people. Also, if you would like to volunteer for the Trick or Treat Trail, we still need some volunteers. I don't have the sign-up sheet but everyone knows my e-mail. We can use workers from 11:00-1:30. We are doing hay wagons, games and activities. It's on the 14`h. If you want to write that down and drop me an e-mail if you are available to give me a hand, I would appreciate it very much. With that, I'll pass.
