<br />Memorandum <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />From: Jeff Shelby, Parks and Recreation Manager <br /> <br />Date: November 12, 2025 <br /> <br />Subject: Parks and Recreation Staff Report <br />Senior Activity Center <br />As of November 4, a total of 40 memberships have been sold for 2026. At least 20 of these are first-time <br />members. <br />Our next Senior Activity Center assistant is pending hire by the city council on November 17 and has a <br />tentative start date of November 24. We’re excited for this position to be filled as it has been vacant since <br />September 12. <br />Larry Macgruder recently joined as a volunteer greeter on Thursday mornings. The Senior Activity Center <br />now has four greeters and a total of 19 volunteers serving in various roles. <br />On October 15, the Senior Center partnered with Thryve (a branch of Guardian Angels Senior Services) to <br />host a Vendor and Expert Fair. The event was well attended and received very positive feedback from <br />participants. <br />The October trip to Osceola for a train ride and visit to an apple orchard was another success, quickly <br />filling to capacity and generating a waitlist. <br />On November 4, the Center hosted Coffee and Conversation with Crime Prevention Specialist Officer Jeff <br />Garcia. The event was very well received, and this program will now be offered on the first Tuesday of <br />each month going forward. <br />Our membership drive and open house will be held on Monday December 8 from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. <br />The Annual Holiday Music and Luncheon Event will be held Monday December 15. This year’s <br />entertainment will take place in the Flex Space at the FT Center, with lunch served in the Senior Center, <br />catered by Overlook Catering. <br /> <br />Page 32 of 34
