Senior Center News: Community Organizations meet for Lunch re: NEW Senior Center

Yesterday at lunch, members of the many community organizations met at the Senior Center on Fair Street for lunch. The purpose of the lunch was to share the plans for the new Senior Center and specifically the fund raising efforts.

After Mary Libby opened the meeting with a toast, she passed the baton to Janis Ringhand who reviewed the history of the project--much of which is on video on the Observer from the Country Club meeting. Then Doug Zweizig rose to present;

He opened by noting that the many organizations in Evansville have current plans for projects on the table and asked them to list them. They did:

The new Library
The new Fire Station
The New Sewage Plant
The Restoration of Lake Leota
The New Baker Building
The new fire station
The New Senior Center
etc,etc.

Mr. Zweizig then announced that the strategy of the organizations was that they could accomplish all of these projects with fund raising.

    Seems like all but 2.5 of those are city projects. Though taxes are the oldest form of fund raising.
