REPORTS Mayor Musial: 1) Announced that the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging at their November board meeting approved the City of North Olmsted's grant application for the development of a new nutrition site program. This program is made possible by a grant from the Ohio Department of Aging, through the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging. The funding is provided by the Older Americans Act, Title 3C, and will provide a hot lunch for up to 95 persons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This program will start in January 2003 and will be funded for two years. The meals will be served in the main activity room at the North Olmsted Senior Center, located at 28114 Lorain Road. The meals will be nutritionally balanced and served at Noon and a donation of 75 cents is requested. This is a huge step forward in providing meals to senior citizens at a very reasonable suggested donation. The North Olmsted Division of Aging, administered by Deborah Bock will be hiring two part-time nutrition aides to assist with this program. Utilizing the partnership model of the North Olmsted Commission of Paratransit Inc., the program will provide outreach to older persons residing in North Olmsted, Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township. However, all older persons, regardless of residency, are welcome to participate in the program. Thank you to the Springvale Ballroom and staff for providing wonderful meals on an emergency basis until we were able to secure funding from this grant. Congratulations to Deborah Bock on her grant writing skills and her administration of the North Olmsted Division of Aging Senior Center.
