Senior Affairs Commission Page 4 Minutes of Thursday,May 10,2001 M/S Grove/Borgens: To have the June 21 luncheon at Harry's Hofbrau. Commissioner M. Walsh stated that at previous downtown locations, people had problems hearing the guest speakers. She also felt that luncheon attendance has doubled since being moved to the Senior Center. Commissioner Carpe expressed her disappointment with the service at the Senior Center and felt the room used for the guest speaker portion of the luncheon was not very appealing. Commissioner L. Walsh stated in the past four years of organizing the luncheons, only 30 to 45 people regularly attend. He felt the most critical part of the luncheon program is getting an audience. Commissioner Moran stated that the Interservice Coordinating Council moved their regular meetings from Harry's Hofbrau because of the bad acoustics and noise issues. Chairperson Harrison said she was also concerned with attendance. Manager Griffith checked the Senior Center schedule and determined that the theater was available for the guest speaker portion of the luncheon. Commissioner Carpe felt the Commissioners should be the "hosts" of the luncheon and should act that way at the luncheons. Motion failed.
