REPORT OF THE SENIOR CENTER COMMITTEE A subcommittee of the Council on Aging Board, the Senior Center Committee was formed in 1998. The development of a Senior Center is its mission. We are planning a 5,980 sq. ft. Senior Center on Pattison Street. As with any municipal project, there have been peaks and valleys during the year. Fundraising has been both exciting and successful! A second recipe book was produced and sold, several unique raffles were held (masterpiece quilt, 150 gallons heating oil), a new event was unfolded, "A Taste of Abington". The 2nd annual yard sale was a smashing success and there were many, many more fundraisers sending the donation thermometer through the $185,000 mark. Upon learning that we were not awarded a grant for $100,000, it was suggested that we use some of the money raised to further our objectives. A sampling of some positive steps taken towards development of the Senior Center: • The committee was and is circulating bumper stickers "Support Abington Senior Center". • Doug Ulwick of Ulwick Affiliates was retained to produce more in- depth architectural land documents and cost estimates for this project. • A Building Committee formed and began meeting in November '05, working closely with the Architect and Town Planner Dan Crane (will submit to Town Report '06) • The Committee was granted permission by Board of Selectmen to erect a sign on Plymouth Street, Route 58, "Coming Soon Abington Senior Center". Stay tuned. There is always breaking news with regard to this important project and of course continual fundraising! The Senior Center Committee.
