We are already charging into 2008! I have been through the sickness that has touched almost everyone I know at work as well as my personal life but am well and excited about the 50+ program here at FM. February is animal care and adoption, March is yard and gardens. This program is geared for adults and meets every Friday AM. This is sometimes a challenge to do it weekly but it makes it easier for everyone to remember when we are meeting. We show an approved movie once a month which helps. In all the years I have done adult programing at FM this is the only adult program that has shown reasonable to good attendance. We have had from 3-14 come for movies (9 is average), some programs draw more than othersa we have had from 2-27 for various programs. I have foung that music programs, Lawyers from HBA speaking on subject for seniors, and pets are ones that the most people come out for. We have had good results with Master Gardners coming to speak as well.
Of course I don't do this alone, we have an adult resource council with two staff members and two volunteers as well as Ms. Akkerman that plan,call, setup and provide refreshments for all the program.
If anyone is intrested I will gladly share our contacts and program idea .
