Los Gatos aims to reimagine senior services
The Town of Los Gatos has put together a committee for Senior Services that has one task: enrich the lives of the senior citizen population by “Re-Imagining Senior Services in Los Gatos.”
The committee is made up of representatives from community service organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Town Council, local senior service groups, county representatives and more.
Spearheaded by the Town Council and the Community Health & Senior Services Commission, the effort will be coordinated by Assistant Town Manager Arn Andrews and Tom Picraux as chair of the committee. The initial plan is to reach out to as many people as possible for ideas and solutions.
The Town of Los Gatos will be conducting a survey that will be targeting seniors and their needs. There will be a concentrated effort to get the word out and do as many in-person meetings and gatherings as possible, according to the committee. These meetings will take place in January. Then, in February, there will be a ‘kickoff’ reception to garner interest about the responses and receive more suggestions from the public.
For information, contact Nancy Pearson (committee member) at ki*************@gm***.com or Arn Andrews (staff liaison) at aa******@lo********.gov .
The Senior Services Committee members are George Rossmann, Arshia Mathur, Matthew Hudes, Rob Rennie, Nancy Pearson, Catherine Somers, Kathy Mlinarich, Lisa Lenoci, Tom Picraux (chair), Maureen Heath (vice-chair), Diana Miller and Grace Benlice.
