Message from the Senior Coordinator

First let me say 'thank you' for a great turn out at the Health Fair at Mall of the Mainland on October 19. Our seniors did a great job in showing off their crafts and talents. We are certain proof that we are COM's Positive, Active, Successful, Seniors...COMPASS!

We would like for all of you to fill out the survey that has been inserted into this publication. Our program is growing and we need to search for new ways to help fund it.

Volunteers are needed in the office and at the events. If you have some time to spare, please contact the Senior Office.

Enjoy the semester and see you at the many different functions planned for this spring!

Sincerely,

Eva R. Neinas, Coordinator
