Vote unanimous 5-0 <br />OUTREACH COORDINATOR REPORT <br />Darlene Perkins distributed her report for the month of July. She reported the new <br />program "The Mail Box Sticker Program" is starting. They sent out letters to citizens <br />who are on the civil defense list for a test run. The program is in partnership with the <br />Mashpee Post Office. The mail carrier will report to the Senior Center when they see a <br />five day buildup of mail in the mail box. We will try and contact the resident and if <br />unable the police department will make a well call. The Outreach coordinator and the <br />Director toured the new memory care assisted facility, Bridges. Darlene is a member of <br />the Elder Services Board of Directors nutrition subcommittee and attended two site visits <br />with the Elder Services nutrition program to review the companies who submitted bids <br />for the upcoming three years. <br />The Outreach Coordinator highlighted the home visits and office visits which included <br />meeting with residents of Mashpee to review, policies and procedures for the use of our <br />van and volunteer transportation. Many of our fragile elders who are middle income are <br />in need of services but can't afford to pay for the amount of services they need which <br />leads to many referrals made to Elder Services and other agencies.
