Well,
I
haven't
seen
Jim
in
a
while,
but
Jim
is
probably
I
would
say
very
busy
because
it's
the
tax
season
and
I
do
know
that
Jim
is
a
tax
aide
with
AARP,
and
so
that's
one
he's
very
much
involved
in
AARP
activities.
So
Jim
we're
always
happy
to
have
you
here
so
so
I
think
I
got
everyone
and
hopefully
Carlos
will
be
joining
us
sooner
or
later,
but
again
we're
going
to
get
started.
Wendy
I
noticed
you're
still
having
lunch.
Do
you
want
me.
C
B
B
And
and
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
overview
one
of
the
things
that
certainly
since
I
became
chair
and
then
when
Carlos
joined
me
on
the,
as
as
the
other
co-chair,
we
often
would
get
presenters,
which
was
great,
but
we've
never
really
had
an
opportunity
to
hear
about
what
each
of
you
are
doing
in
Greater
detail.
It's
kind
of
like
well
we're
doing
this
and
doing
this,
but
it's
very
abbreviated
because
we
didn't
give
you
very
much
time,
and
so.
B
Instead,
we
wanted
to
focus
on
you
this
time
on
each
of
you.
This
is
January
2023.
You
got
a
whole
year
coming
up,
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
double
purpose.
We
can
all
hear
more
in
detail
of
what
you're
thinking
about.
Even
to
the
point
of
you
know,
goals.
Are
you
going
to
look
for
new
members?
Things
like
this?
That
might
be
helpful
because
I
think
that's
of
interest
and
then
the
other
part
is
the
fact
that
Michelle
McMahon
is
becoming
or
is
involved
now
with
the
senior
ambassador
program.
B
B
So
with
that
said,
I'm
going
to
start
and
I'm
just
again
going
to
move
right
through
the
line
here
and
if
you
don't
have
anything
to
say,
that's
fine
too,
but
if
you
do
that's
the
purpose,
and
the
nice
thing
now
is,
is
that
Michelle
Thomas
is
recording
this.
So
for
those
folks
who
are
not
on
the
in
the
program
today,
we
can
send
this
out
so
that
the
information
can
be
shared
with
them.
So
Wendy
I
will
start
with
you
and
go
for
it.
A
A
I
know
I
thought
I'm
done
so
I'm,
assuming
that
you
guys
can
see
that
a
slide
right
now.
Okay,
yes,
so
I
I,
you
know,
I've
got
a
presentation
that
I
used
I
did
a
presentation
actually
on
Saturday,
so
I
have
a
big
presentation
that
I
did
on
Saturday,
but
this
is
a
slide
from
that
presentation.
That
I
think
is
probably
helpful
to
people.
So
I
think.
All
of
you
know
that
Arlington
neighborhood
Village
is
a
community-based
non-profit.
A
That,
as
we
say,
gives
people
the
extra
help
that
they
need
to
stay
in
their
home
safely
and
independently,
and
that
oftentimes
means
giving
people
rights
to
a
medical
appointment
to
to
the
grocery
store
the
post
office,
the
bank.
It
means
getting
up
on
a
ladder
and
changing
a
light
bulb
and
being
a
friendly
visitor
being
a
walking
Duty,
helping
them
with
tech
or
just
you
know,
going
shopping
for
them
at
the
grocery
store
or
delivering
food
from
the
food
bank.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
our
volunteers
do.
A
They
also
help
run
the
organization,
so
we've
probably
got
50
volunteers
who
are
just
involved
in
what
we
think
of
as
management
roles.
That
includes
our
board
of
directors.
It
includes
people
who
work
on
our
different
committees,
and
it
includes
volunteers
who
work
here
in
our
office,
I
mean
every
day
we
have
two
Volunteers
in
the
office
that
are
answering
the
phones,
updating
our
database
and
making
connections
with
people.
A
So
you
know
overall,
we
think
we
have
about
250
volunteers
involved
in
the
program,
but
those
volunteers
are
supporting
335
members
right
now
and
those
members
are
range
in
age
from
58
years
old
to
102
years
old.
The
majority
of
them
are
female,
73
percent,
they
are
older,
so
42
percent
of
our
members
are
over
80.
A
58
of
our
members
live
alone
and
of
our
members
who
live
alone.
The
vast
majority
are
female
and
when
I
say
the
vast
majority
of
female,
that's
84
percent,
so
of
the
58
percent
of
members
who
live
alone,
most
of
them
are
female.
So
you
know
women
who
are
aging
by
themselves,
33
of
our
members
right
now,
108
of
them
received
some
help
with
their
membership
fees.
A
31
of
them
have
mobility.
Issues
are
using
a
can
of
Walker
a
wheelchair,
perhaps
or
have
eyesight
or
hearing
loss
and
15
of
them
today
represent
diverse
backgrounds,
and
we,
of
course
want
to
see
that
number
go
up,
but
that's
who
our
members
are
and
what
they
look
like.
You
know,
I
mentioned
that
we
have
a
membership
fee
and
that
speaks
to
you
know.
Why
do
we
need
to
raise
money
if
we're
volunteers?
A
A
A
So,
when
you're,
looking
at
what
our
expenses
are,
what
makes
up
that
500
000.
Well
like
any
organization,
the
bulk
of
that
expense
is
the
paid
Personnel,
the
people
that
I
described
the
very
beginning,
but
we
also
rent
space
in
church
of
the
Covenant.
We've
got
two
floors
here.
We
have
computers,
we
have
Internet,
we
have
telephone
service.
All
of
our
volunteers
go
through
a
background
check
for
both
a
criminal
history
and
a
driving
record.
We
have
insurance
coverage,
we
do
events
and
and
need
money
to
pay
for
those
events.
A
We
have
a
bookkeeper.
We
have
some
Technology
support
this
year,
we'll
be
having
a
financial
review
conducted
of
our
books.
You
know,
as
we
get
bigger,
the
sort
of
administrative
requirements
become
greater.
Obviously
we
have
a
website,
and
this
past
year
we
built
a
new
website.
There
are
expenses
associated
with
that,
so
all
said
and
done.
We
have
expenses
and
we
have
to
raise
money
for
those
expenses
and
one
of
of
the
ways
we
raise
money
is
through
this
membership
fee.
A
I
think
you
know,
you
guys
know
the
fact
that
we
operated
all
through
covid,
but
one
of
the
things
that
covid
did
was
help
us
expand
our
services
to
more
seniors
in
Arlington,
so
that,
as
I
mentioned
a
minute
ago,
a
third
of
our
members
are
low
income
and
again
you
know
just
as
a
reminder.
We
do
have
a
membership
fee,
but
for
members
whose
income
is
under
forty
seven
thousand
dollars,
our
membership
fee
is
dropped
to
a
hundred
dollars.
A
A
We
are
really
looking
to
strengthen
our
financial
aid
funds,
so
we
can
continue
to
grow
and
not
have
income,
be
a
barrier
to
participating
in
AR
in
AMV
and
we're
looking
to
diversify
our
income
streams.
I
mean
it's
hard
to
find
grants,
so
we
need
to,
you,
know,
be
on
the
lookout
for
more
grants.
Perhaps
more
corporate
sponsors
and
more
support.
I
mentioned
that
we
launched
a
new
website.
If
you
need
to
go
visit,
you
haven't
seen
it
it's
anvarlington.org.
A
You
can
imagine
that
we've
got
folks
who
are
appreciative
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
and,
and
we
hear
from
them
all
the
time
from
our
members
and
volunteers-
and
you
know,
one
of
my
favorite
pictures
is
one
that
we
took
at
Christmas
time.
So
we
had
a
Christmas
get
together.
We
had
I
think
about
80
people
that
attended
that
Christmas
get-together
and
I.
Didn't
let
people
leave
without
us
being
able
to
take
a
big
picture
of
everybody.
A
B
Okay,
well,
then,
we
will
go
on
and
and
thank
you
Wendy
for
keeping
it
to
about
five
minutes
or
so
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
gets
a
chance
to
to
chat
as
well.
So
five
six
seven
minutes
is
is
good.
So,
let's
see
looking
at
my
screen
now,
the
next
I
see
is
Patricia.
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
the
center
and
kind
of
give
us
a
summary
of?
What's
what's
expected
because
we've
had
you
on
before,
which
was
very,
very
helpful
but
kind
of
what's
coming
up,
yeah.
H
We
are
now
advancing
the
initial
framework
of
our
health
passport,
which
is
like
to
create
that
Comprehensive
Health
Assessment
program
that
will
not
only
evaluate
test
some
of
those
key
areas
that
are
important.
You
keep
someone
independent
mobile
and
with
good
quality
of
life,
but
also
support
that
through
a
health
recommendation.
So
we're
gonna
use
that
assessment
to
provide
personalized
Health
recommendations
that
the
our
participants
can
take
to
their
doctors
can
use
with
their
family
in
their
caregiving
environment
and
create
some
goals
to
attain
to
Wellness.
H
So
those
are
the
three
Mains
for
today
that
there's
lots
of
other
projects
and
activities
going
on
also
I
think
with
Wendy.
We
are
looking
as
once.
We
prepare
the
protocol
when
we
have
all
the
players
that
involved
at
the
MU.
So
we
are
collaborating
with
several
different
health
professionals
in
terms
of
those
Health
outcomes
and
to
help
us
to
do
the
oversight
of
those
different
areas
of
Health.
H
But
once
we
have
that
program
and
the
protocol
more
developed,
we
are
interested
in
looking
for
funding
and
the
funding
will
rely
on
collaboration.
So
probably
could
be
something
that
we
could
also
work
with
EU
in
terms
of
going
or
having
a
standing
program
where
we
can
provide
those
key
assessments
that
are
very
simple
but
very
powerful
in
providing
information
for
people
to
take
over
their
health
and
create
some
sort
of
bridging
with
what
you
are
doing.
And
some
of
those
initiatives
and
looking
for
funding
to
support
that.
B
B
So
I'm
happy
to
facilitate
that
as
well.
But
yeah
I
mean
in
terms
of
looking
more
at.
What
is
the
community
needs
here
would
certainly
help
in
terms
of
for
the
center
to
be
addressing
those
same
needs
so,
and
and
and
also
providing
your
input
from
what
you're
learning,
as
well
in
terms
of
research
and
education,
and
this
kind
of
thing
so.
H
B
H
That
Community
Center
is
like
this
assessment
of
community
center,
usually
a
community
health.
Is
there
like
a
by
providing
a
space
where
they're
going
to
be
extending
some
of
those
Services?
They
usually
are
not
part
of
the
healthcare
system,
or
this
is
just
like
where
they
evaluated
by
bringing
stakeholders
and
evaluating
some
of
the
local
clinics
and
having
more
of
input
feedback
from
the
community
itself.
B
I
think
what
it
is
Patricia
is
is
that
they
kind
of
have
to
determine
what
the
priorities
are
and
once
they
gather
the
data
from
all
of
the
different
organizations.
They
look
at
it
kind
of
prioritize.
It
determine
what
sort
of
resources
the
hospital
has
already
and
then
they
make
a
presentation
to
the
board
of
directors,
and
then
the
hospital
board
determines.
What
are
we
going
to
do
next?
You
know
what
do
we
have
here
and
and
and
what
do
we
need
to
do?
Some
may
be
expanding
a
particular
Department.
B
Some
may
be,
you
know,
building
a
new
building,
I
mean
the
hospital
apparently
and
I
didn't
know.
This
has
been
around
for
75
years,
and
so
even
some
of
the
buildings
are,
you
know,
getting
old
and
need
to
be
renovated,
and
this
kind
of
thing
so
obviously
Mr
Stanton
was
only
there
for
about.
You
know
half
an
hour,
but.
J
B
B
D
Yes,
of
course,
thank
you,
the
positive
aging
inclusion
and
enrichment
committee.
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
now
we
can
now
you
can
if
I
get
close
enough
to
the
computer.
Our
our
committee
has
a
focus
on
programs
and
services
in
our
community.
It
encourages
active,
healthy
engaged,
older
adults
in
the
community
that
values
their
presence
and
participation.
We
work
with
Community
Partners
at
schools,
local
businesses,
and
encourage
participation
of
older
adults
in
our
community,
our
core
World
Health,
Organization
domains.
Our
social
participation.
D
Making
sure
that
our
55
Center
community
centers
are
are
well
used.
Specific
participation
involving
businesses,
nonprofits
intergenerational
activities
such
as
the
walking
School
Bus,
which
we
piloted
last
year
with
great
success
and
is
now
beginning
to
move
throughout
the
county,
outdoor
spaces
and
buildings,
making
sure
that
we
counsel
the
County,
Board
and
County
Manager
on
having
our
buildings
Elder
friendly,
we're
adding
another
one.
This
year,
spams
and
elder
abuse
we're
seeing
more
and
more
of
that.
D
If
I
just
think
about
the
National
legislation,
it
was
reported
that
800
billion
dollars
were
fraudulently
taken
out
of
the
several
billion
a
trillion
dollars
of
budgets.
Locally
Elders
seniors
are
the
most
likely
targets
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
prevention,
programs
and
and
help
those
who
are
attacked.
B
You,
okay,
yes,
links
committee
is
always
the
one
that
is
the
most
diverse
in
terms
of
aging
and
inclusion
and
enrichment
and
so
on
any
particular
meeting.
He
always
has
exciting
guests.
So
thank
you
link
for
your
your
good
work
and
you
know,
let's
make
sure
that
if
we're
all
attending
your
meetings
as
well,
so
that
you
know
we
can
learn
more.
So
thank
you.
Brenda.
Do
you
have
anything
that
you
would
like
to
add
about
what
you
do
at
Lomax
church
and
what
your
plans
are
for
this
year?
B
C
We
have
partnered
the
county,
the
we
moved
to
another
point
this
year
with
intergenerational
meetings,
and
so
the
heads
of
four
agencies
approached
our
church
and
St
Michael's
and
we've
been
having
these
Community
meetings.
So
we're
going
to
have
a
meeting
this
Saturday
on
really
building
the
connection
recognizing
the
services
that
are
available
to
them.
B
So
Brenda
one
thing
I
was
going
to
ask
you,
and
this
is
also
giving
a
heads
up
to
Michelle
McMahon
in
terms
of
of
you,
know,
learning
more
about
where
potential
ambassadors
are.
Are
there
other
churches
in
Arlington
that
are
as
active
as
yours
and
do
they
provide
the
same
kind
of
programs
that
you
do
once
a
month?
Can
you
tell
us
anything
about
you
just
mentioned
about
a
sister
Church
St
Michael's?
Are
there
others
I
mean?
Have
you
interacted?
C
Well,
to
be
honest,
I
really
don't
know
when
I
started
I
had
I
had
a
committee.
My
goal,
when
I
started,
was
to
inform
the
members
of
our
black
community
about
the
resources
that
are
available
to
them
through
human
resources
and
I.
Did
that
as
a
result
of
having
to
take
care
of
my
mom
I
took
care
of
my
mother,
the
last
12
years
of
her
life
and
she
started
to
slow
down
and
I
found
out
that.
C
C
I
did
not
know,
I
was
still
working
and
just
the
support
that
I
was
able
to
get
from
that
and
I
figured
that
if
I
did
not
know
that
this
resource
was
available
to
me
as
a
resident
of
Arlington
that
a
lot
of
people
didn't
know,
and
so
our
Minister,
not
knowing
the
type
of
person
I.
Am
he
allowed
me
to
stand
up
in
church
and
give
him
and
and
just
share
what
I
was
doing
and
I
told
the
people
in
my
community
that
you
know
your
tax
dollars
and
paying
for
this?
C
It's
not
welfare
and,
first
and
foremost,
our
members
did
not
want
to
acknowledge
that
they
were
getting
old.
I
said
if
I
needed
you
needed.
I
was
very
blunt
and
I
promised
I
just
said,
for
whatever
reason,
I
decided
that
we
would
have
a
monthly
meeting
in
my
former
life.
I
was
a
librarian
and
essentially
what
I
did
in
the
public
library
I
brought
to
the
church,
and
it's
it's
really
a
no-brainer.
C
It's
not
common
knowledge
that
the
resources
that
you
all
are
providing
and
people
need
to
know
not
just
seniors
but
as
I
when
I
started
working
with
the
Agency
on
Aging
and
I
was
on
the
commission.
I
was
going
around
and
giving
presentations
to
the
Civic
associations
in
the
county,
and
invariably
it
wasn't
the
seniors
that
approached
me.
After
the
meeting
it
was
their
children,
the
caretakers
that
needed
to
know
so
I
had
been
trying
to
work
with
the
caretakers,
and
just
through
the
years
we've
been
doing
this
every
month.
C
For
the
last
21
years,
we
have
had
a
meeting
of
the
senior
Ministry
at
Lomax
church.
If
it
a
holiday,
fell
on
the
fourth
Saturday.
It
was
a
third
Saturday
and
our
goal
is
to
just
inform
people
of
the
resources
that
are
available,
that
1-800
number
that's
available.
The
federal
government
changes
every
four
years
and
people
come
here
to
work,
but
they
have
relatives
in
other
parts
of
the
country
and
that
really
struck
me
that
people
will
cut
that
approach.
C
Me,
the
younger
people
in
the
civic
association,
so
I'm
thinking
that,
with
this
ambassador
program,
you
need
to
reach
out
not
a
senior
fair.
Just
senior
fair
is
too
much
at
one
time,
and
people
do
not
get
the
gist
of
what
they
need
for
their
particular
thing,
but
I'm
a
you
know
how
to
eat
a
elephant.
One
bite
at
a
time
and
I
just
told
them
we'd
take
one
topic
a
month
and
just
make
sure
you
understand
that,
and
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding.
C
I
will
never
know
the
full
extent
of
what
this
program
has
done.
One
of
our
seniors,
who
is
now
she's
in
a
in
a
home,
now
she's
gone
into
dementia,
but
12
years
ago
she
told
me
she
just
came
up
to
me
after
one
meeting
she
said
Brenda,
you
know
when
I
leave
this
meeting,
I
call
home
and
call
my
cousin
in
South
Carolina
and
let
her
know
what
we're
doing,
and
so
you
know
the
Lord
has
my
back:
it's
in
the
church
and
giving
credit
to
the
congregation
they
have
accepted
it.
C
B
D
J
C
C
B
B
F
F
So
our
goal
as
an
office
with
everything
that's
been
going
on
the
last
few
years.
It's
you
know.
Our
office
has
been
changing
a
lot,
but
first
our
goal
is
to
kind
of
really
come
back
fully
and
also
to
I
know
we're
going
to
look
a
little
different,
because
the
exciting
part
of
us
is
that
we
also
still
continue
to
do
our
virtual
or
hybrid.
So
we
do
our
in
persons
we
do
our
Outdoors.
F
We
do
virtual,
we
do
hybrids
of
all
those,
so
that's
been
a
really
exciting
for
our
office,
because
we've
been
able
to
partner
with
other
local
jurisdictions
and
it's
kind
of
interesting
because
of
the
relationships
we
have
built
with
our
55
plus
population.
That
transition
for
us
wasn't
as
difficult
as
we
first
expected
and
I
also
loved
it
because
it
broke
the
barrier
of
people.
Thinking
seniors,
don't
know
how
to
be
on
the
computer
or
how
to
work
a
computer,
and
it's
just
I
love
that
whole
concept
of
the
change.
F
But
for
me
my
personal
goal
is
just
like
Brenda
I
met
Brenda
many
many
wonderful
years
ago,
and
it
was
we
were
just
in
tune
about.
Let's
get
the
information
and
the
resources
easily
to
the
55
plus
population
to
the
community,
and
especially
especially
seniors
people
of
color
or
people
who
are
more
homebound
or
who
may
be
living
on
their
own.
So
that
has
is
something
that
I
truly
would
love
to
get
back
to
with
our
office.
But
currently
our
office,
we
work,
you
know
we
don't
do
it
alone.
F
We
work
through
other
organizations,
specific
Alliance
for
Arlington
senior
programs,
who's,
a
501,
3501
c3s
and,
of
course,
their
goal
is
also
to
maintain
active
and
Healthy
Lifestyles
for
seniors.
So
they
help
us
with
fundraiser
events
which
we're
going
to
be
doing
quite
a
few
still.
They
allow
us
to
do
certain
programming
that
we
might
not
be
able
to
do
on
our
own,
but
they're
able
to
assist,
or
sometimes
even
provide
financial
assistance
in
some
way
to
members,
so
that
has
been
expanding.
So
that's
something
we're
going
to
be
growing
in
this
year.
F
We're
going
to
continue
with
like
the
affordable
connectivity
Fair,
which
is
that
the
U.S
government
program
they
run
like
the
Federal
Communications
Commission,
the
FCC,
to
help
low-income
households,
pay
for
Internet
service
and
connected
devices
like
laptops
and
tablets,
and
so
we
have
vendors
come
and
be
able
to
provide
questions
and
answer
information.
You
know
items
and
then
also
assist
if
you
want
to
enroll
and-
and
we
started
to
sometimes
be
able
to
open
certain
programs
to
all
communities.
F
So
it's
not
just
for
seniors,
while
other
things
we
want
to
just
keep
for
seniors.
A
majority
of
our
stuff
right
because
people
get
the
55
plus
pass,
but
like
basic
computer
classes,
that
you
know
just
learning
how
to
do
emails
and
internet
and
that's
all
done
in
partnership
with
like
Community
Arlington,
Community
Learning
other
Partnerships
that
we
do
is
like
Virginia
Cooperative
Extension,
the
libraries
Northern
Virginia,
Falls
prevention,
Alliance,
my
Pap
with
Michelle
here
Department
of
Human
Service,
our
internal
unit.
F
The
word
to
our
members
and
partner
with
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
we
work
very
closely
with
the
advisor
committees
that
we
do
have
at
our
five
senior
centers
and
I
would
love
to
do
a
shout
out
for
them,
because
they
are
always
looking
out
for
new
members
or
for
volunteers
to
assist
with
projects,
and
it
consists
of
like
monthly
meetings
and
thinking
of
things
to
do
for
the
center
and
projects,
and
it
can
be
community
service
projects.
It
could
be
a
party.
F
It
could
be
a
class
that
they're
bringing
in
it
could
be
just
volunteer
work.
So
things
that
you
know
I,
think
somebody
put
in
the
chat.
I
didn't
see
who
it
was,
but
they
had
mentioned
the
spring-length
fashion,
show
and
silent
auction
and
that's
going
to
be
held
on
March
31st
1
to
3
P.M
at
lover
run
and
again.
F
That
is
something
that
the
lover-run
advisor
committee
has
worked
with
the
Lions
or
has
worked
them
and
then
have
included
the
alliance
on
be
able
to
provide
you
know
great
program
and
so
we're
doing
the
55
plus
barbecue
fundraiser
at
Rockland
again
on
Tuesday
June
13th.
They
you
know,
some
of
the
proceeds
will
go
to
help
with
the
with
the
programs
themselves
dine
in
and
take
out.
F
We
are
exploring
more
and
more
our
nights
and
evenings
we
have
set
days
like
Tuesdays
are
for
Walter,
read,
evenings
Wednesdays
are
falling
to
Middle
evenings
Thursdays
are
lumber,
run
we
and
we
also
have
weekends,
so
we're
continuing
to
explore
that
as
well,
and
that
is
more
for
the
population
we
haven't
reach.
Maybe
the
Boomers
who
are
still
working
but
I
would
like
to
say
that
we're
also
looking
to
explore
to
reach
the
population.
We
don't
even
know
exist
because
they
don't
know
we
exist.
F
So
therefore
we
don't
know
they
exist,
and
how
do
we
do
that?
That's
that's,
really
the
difficult
piece,
and
so
recently
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
advisory
committee
like
a
work
session
to
kind
of
think
of
everything
we
can
think
like.
Why
are
we
not
reaching
them?
How
do
we
find
find
out
information?
How
do
we
use
maybe
the
census
information,
the
current
information?
Maybe
somebody
in
this
committee,
like
Wendy,
just,
did
a
great
presentation
like
that's
great,
how
she
got
all
that
data
and
then
what
does
that
mean?
F
Maybe
for
us,
how
do
we
connect?
So
that
is
one
of
our
goals
for
this
year,
including
maybe
bringing
some
bilingual
programs
in.
Maybe
that's
something,
and
then
finally
I'd
like
to
say
one
thing
that
we've
also
been
doing
a
lot.
This
last
year
has
been
like
Family
Programs,
intergenerational
programs.
F
One
thing
this
year
is
I
wanna
and
rebuild
my
family
again
because,
with
the
pandemic,
everybody
kind
of
got
a
little
lost
in
the
way,
and
so
it's
kind
of
like
bringing
that
family
Unity
that
community
that
piece
back
in
and
then
one
final
thing
is:
please
do
not
forget
to
share
with
your
neighbors
and
friends
and
loved
ones
and
your
caregivers
that
we
do
have
something
called
the
reduction.
So
if
you
know
programs
have
cost
and
Parks
and
Recreation
it's
just
not
a
senior
office.
F
There
is
something
called
fee
reduction
you
do
have
to
apply,
but
then
it
applies
for
one
year
and
everybody
in
that
household,
so
I
do
not
want
Financial
limitations
to
be
a
barrier
for
families,
so
we're
kind
of
doing
a
little
bit
of
everything
as
usual,
but
I'm
very
excited
about
the
Partnerships,
because
ultimately,
I
want
seniors
in
Arlington
County
to
find
an
easy
way
to
get
resources.
If
it's
not
through
us,
then
it's
through
somebody
else
or
in
this
committee.
So
that's
just
the
little
gist
of
it
and.
F
So
that's
been
a
little
bit
of
a
topic.
A
recent
discussion
topic
that
we've
been
kind
of
exploring
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about.
So
yes,
online
is
the
guide,
but
we've
also
been
talking
about
like
QR
codes
like
now
that
people
are
doing
less
paper,
you
know
if
somebody
really
needs
a
guide.
Of
course
we
can
always
print
it
out,
but
truly
online
has
been
the
way
people
have
gotten
it.
They
get
it
through
our
e-news.
They
can
look
online
at
the
Arlington
va.us
and
then
search
55
plus
guide.
F
They
can
pull
it
up
on
their
phone,
but
when
I
go
to
outreach
events,
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
it.
Like
QR
codes,
where
you
just
scan
your
phone
I
remember
going
to
arrest
and
I'm
like
what
is
this
now
I
know
how
to
use
them,
but
thinking
of
new
ways,
if
anybody
has
anything
that
has
worked
for
them,
please
let
us
know
because
I
know,
accessibility
is
a
very
big
piece
for
us.
We
want
to
make
sure
everybody
gets
the
information,
not
just
those
who
have
phones
or
can
afford
a
phone.
A
A
You
know
this
is
all
of
our
issue,
that
the
people
who
know
about
us
know
that
we're
a
Hidden
Gem
and
they
take
advantage
of
it
and
the
bulk
of
people
don't
know,
and
that's
that's
the
that's
the
challenge
that
we're
all
facing,
and
there
are
things
we
can
do
and
you
know
we're
I,
don't
think
we're
going
in
the
right
direction.
I
think
we're
going
in
the
wrong
direction
in
terms
of
getting
information
out
to
people.
B
B
Steve
I
did
see
what
you
had
written
already
in
the
meeting
chat,
but
let's
hear
more
about
it
because
we
talk
a
lot
about.
You
know
certain
programs
that
are
more
focused
on
older
adults,
but
yours
is
a
little
bit
broader
talk
about
the
David
M,
Brown,
Planetarium
and
other
things
that
you're
involved
with
perfect.
B
B
Well
and
again:
that's
why
Michelle
is
here.
I
know:
she's
taking
copious
notes,
Michelle
McMahon,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
Michelle
you're
picking
up
everything
that
everybody
is
saying
here
and
we
already
talked
a
little
bit
about
Laura
and
Encore
learning,
and
that
is
a
really
popular
major
program
in
this
area.
So
I
would
assume
eventually
Michelle
you'll
be
in
touch
with
her.
I
also
noticed
that
Jim
Morris
did
indicate,
in
fact
somebody
else
alluded
to
it
about
the
the
oh
Jessica.
B
F
It
over
to
Michelle
could
I
quickly
just
because
I'm
working
on
the
guide
and
I
could
quickly
mention
the
lubber
run.
Sprinkling
is
back,
it
helps
us
raise.
Funds
for
lover,
runs
programs
with
a
silent
auction
and
a
fashion
show
featuring
clothes
provided
by
blossoms,
Boutique
and
modeled
by
actual
55
participant
they'll
be
refreshments
and
prizes,
and
donations
such
as
jewelry
and
other
items
can
be
dropped
off.
B
I
Absolutely
so,
in
addition
to
the
Medicare
counseling
that
our
program
provides,
we
are
looking
at
ways
to
continue
to
reach
and
serve
the
underserved
communities.
Looking
at
program,
expansion,
I'm
honing
in
on
and
and
we'll
find
a
bilingual
team
member,
specifically
in
Spanish,
to
help
with
counseling
and
Outreach
roles
that
we
have
I'm,
also
really
honing.
In
and
looking
on
at
ways
to
Target
retired
employees.
I
We
get
a
lot
of
calls
from
federal
retirees
as
well
as
individual
individuals
who
are
retiring
from
Arlington
County
government
and
Arlington
County
Public
Schools,
and
they
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
Mary
of
the
their
health
insurance,
their
employer,
health
insurance
and,
of
course,
Medicare.
How
the
two
work
together.
I
I
You
know
link
mentioned
some
stats
that
he
came
across
earlier
and
I
work
very
closely
with
the
senior
Medicare
Patrol,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
work
around
that
already.
But
you
know
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
expand.
We
actually
have
a
program
schedule.
Thank
you,
Jessica
who's
here
and
also
Nick
in
his
absence.
I
Who's
helped
me
to
schedule
a
March
program
whereby
we're
going
to
have
a
representative
from
the
senior
Medicare
Patrol,
the
Federal,
Trade
Commission,
and
then,
of
course,
my
office
and
then
JP
from
the
Arlington
County
Police
Department,
and
so
that
is
going
to
be
the
kickoff.
But
again,
Lincoln
are
working
very
closely
so
that
we
can
formulate
some
type
of
work
group
or
program
specifically
targeted
towards
seniors
and
the
Arlington
Community,
who
are
being
scammed.
Helen
King
has
mentioned
I
think,
along
with
Rachel
many
times
that
the
AAA
funding
is
being
hit
very
hard.
I
I
just
want
to
pose
that
to
those
individuals
who
are
here.
That
may
not
be
aware
the
aaa's
are
losing
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
funding
and
there
are
two
out
of
the
11
programs
here
in
the
northern
Virginia
area
that
are
being
impacted,
Arlington
County
AAA
is
one
of
them.
So
there's
a
lot
of
messaging
that's
been
coming
out.
Helen
has
provided
talking
points
for
anyone
who's
interested
in
contacting
their
local
legislator
so
that
we
can
get.
I
You
know
more
support
rally
more
support
around
this
very
critical
issue,
because
when
funding
is
cut
from
the
AAA,
which
vicap
is
part
of
the
AAA,
but
when
funding
is
cut
from
the
AAA,
it's
going
to
start
impacting
things
like
home,
delivered,
meals,
congregate,
meals,
Home,
Care,
support
for
caregivers
and
many
other
areas.
So
if
you
want
the
talking
points,
please
do
connect
directly
with
Helen.
I
B
B
Force
meeting.
So
it's
nice
to
know
that
we
are
still
part
of
an
age-friendly
community
and
all
the
things
that
you
guys
are
doing.
I
also
want
to
welcome.
Carlos
Carlos
is
on
voice
rest
today,
and
so
he,
while
he
is
not
talking,
he
is
listening
to
what
we
have
to
say
and
so
Carlos
we're
glad
that
you're
here,
but
I
promise.
You
I
won't
ask
you
any
questions
right
now,
because
I
don't
want
to
in
any
way
injure
your
voice.
You
need
to
definitely
voice.
B
B
If
that's
the
case,
then
then
our
next
meeting
will
be
on
Mar
in
March.
This
committee
meets
every
other
month
and
again.
I
know
that
some
you,
some
of
you,
had
concern.
One
thing
I
would
just
quickly
add
Michelle
McMahon,
for
you
is,
is
that
two
groups
that
were
not
here
that
are
sometimes
join
us.
Are
the
Arlington,
Public
Library
and
also
Virginia
Hospital
Center.
B
Okay,
that'd
be
great
yeah
both
have
excellent
programs
and
to
that
point
Michelle,
if
you
haven't
already,
you
might
want
to
put
your
contact
information
in
the
chat
or
you
can
send
it
I.
Have
it
too,
and
I
can
send
it
out
when,
when
we
send
the
recording
of
this
meeting
so
that
if
people
think
of
somebody
else
that
you
should
be
talking
to,
you
can
be
in
touch
with
them
as
well.
Okay,.
B
Okay,
so
unless
I
hear
differently
again,
the
Pio
meeting
will
the
next
one
will
be
March
27th,
which
is
on
a
Monday
at
two
o'clock
and
we'll
send
you
more
information
as
to
who
we'll
be
presenting
at
that
time.
But
thank
you
so
much
I
think
this
was
really
helpful.
I
think
it
taught
us
all
a
lot
about.
What's
going
on
and
Kudos
on,
all
of
your
good
work,
helping
older
adults
in
Arlington
and
have
a
good
year.
