environment/community improvement
The SCOTS Board objective is to share information on health, education, and social services through planning with the Senior Center Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator. They also provide an outlet for leadership, creativity, and services for older adults. In addition, they solicit, collect, and raise funds to be used to support the Senior Center and its activities. The SCOTS Board continues to support the older adult population through expanding programs and improving the exterior atmosphere.
The funds will be used for the enhancement of our outdoor patio to include
a garden area with raised beds. This will allow for less weeds, a friendlier
esthetic look, keep out critters, reduce soil contamination, offers
early planting, great for beginners and reduces debilitating back and
joint pain. In addition to the raised beds, we would like to further
develop the area by adding brick pavers, shaded areas, and benches.
To begin our venture included in our request would be rakes, shovels,
wheelbarrows, trowel, watering can, hose, and digging fork. Also, to
provide a shed to store our equipment. Volunteers through the SCOTS
Board and recruitments will oversee the projects' purchasing and development.
