Acushnet’s Council on Aging Secures Funding for Critical Heating Repairs Amid Winter Weather Concerns
- Meeting Overview:
The Acushnet Council on Aging recently held a meeting where the primary focus was on securing funds for urgent repairs to the heating system in their large function room. The board successfully obtained a reserve fund transfer approval from the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee to address the issue.
During the meeting, the council emphasized the importance of being cautious with heating appliances and outdoor activities in the cold weather, encouraging residents to seek help when needed. The director expressed gratitude for the approval of funds, which will allow repairs to commence promptly.
In addition to discussing heating repairs, the council announced ongoing interviews for a new outreach specialist, with promising candidates being considered. They also introduced Mark Sylvia as the new representative replacing Paul Schmid, who will be available for community discussions on the first Monday of each month. The council highlighted upcoming events, including a nutrition demonstration and a Valentine’s Bingo, both requiring prior registration due to limited space. They also promoted their travel program, with several trips planned for the upcoming months.
