A
You're,
an
outreach
manager
and
she's
got
a
powerpoint
put
together,
based
on
some
of
the
conversations
we've
had
with
melinda
and
christina,
and
then
we're
going
to
be
happy
to
answer
your
questions.
So
it
is
the
floor.
Is
yours.
B
B
Let
me
know
if
it's
not
work
well,
I'll,
probably
notice
it
right
off
the
bat
too,
and
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
both
know
that
we
do
record
our
meetings
for
folks
who,
because
they
are
public
meetings
for
folks
who
just
don't,
have
the
opportunity
to
come
on
in
so.
C
Yay
for
technology
well,
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
jetta,
as
renee
indicated,
I
am
the
volunteer
and
outreach
manager
at
trellis,
and
I
am
also
a
resident
of
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I
live
in
ward
12,
also
in
south
minneapolis
near
you
janet,
but
not
a
little
identical
to
I
used
to
work
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
In
fact,
I
used
to
work
for
reg
services.
C
C
My
goal
this
afternoon
is
to
provide
detailed
information
on
the
senior
linkage
line
and
I
think
your
role
on
the
advisory
committee.
You
might
find
it
especially
helpful
as
you
network,
with
older
adults
and
caregivers
and
different
professionals
in
the
field.
There
are
a
ton
of
resources
that
we
can
share
with
you
and
all
of
them
are
free.
C
So
I
will
get
started
first
off,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
talk
about
the
who,
what
when,
where
and
why
of
the
senior
linkage
line,
as
you
can
see,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
material
that
I'm
going
to
cover,
but
the
most
important
thing
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
the
presentation
is
our
toll-free
number.
We
love
for
folks
to
call
us
it's
normal
business
hours.
C
If
you
have
questions-
and
you
have
assistance,
because
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
the
senior
linkage
line
can
they
can
open
a
lot
of
doors
for
folks.
So
the
senior
linkage
line
kind
of
is
the
definition
it's
a
statewide
service
of
the
minnesota
board
on
aging,
we
work
in
partnership
with
minnesota's
area
agencies
on
aging,
so
trellis
is
one
of
six
throughout
the
state
that
serve
the
the
state
of
minnesota.
There
are
actually
seven
area
agencies
on
aging.
C
So
in
terms
of
what
we
do
really
important,
that
our
services
are
free,
right,
they're,
neutral
and
they're
objective.
So
our
specialists
are
available
to
assist
anyone
of
any
age.
You
could
be
the
granddaughter
of
a
consumer,
you
could
be
a
neighbor,
you
could
be
calling
for
yourself
and
we
help
individuals
consider
care
options.
You
know
we
talk
to
people
about
housing
or
homemaking
services,
chore
services
and
nursing
services,
a
lot
of
different
things
that
we
might
need.
C
As
we
age,
but
again,
everything
we
do
is
free,
we're
neutral,
which
means
we're
not
going
to
recommend
one
service
or
another
to
you.
We're
going
to
hope
that
you
can
make
the
the
choices
based
on
great
information,
and
we
are
objective.
We
are
not
insurance
agents
or
brokers,
so
we
really
don't
have
a
financial
gain
in
anything
that
you
choose.
C
We
just
want
you
to
make
a
great
choice
for
you,
so
when,
when
can
we
help
so
we're
going
to
try
to
keep
older
adults
independent
for
as
long
as
they
want
it's,
our
goal
and
individuals
will
move
as
they
need
to
and
find
resources.
So
our
staff
and
volunteers
can
help
individuals
explore
a
variety
of
different
options
to
support
whatever
type
of
needs
that
you
might
be
looking
for.
C
C
So
the
first
thing
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
transportation,
so
individuals
might
need
rides
to
doctor's
appointments,
they
might
be
going
to
the
grocery
store
or
they
might
need
to
run
errands
and
we're
going
to
try
to
help
find
options
that
are
available
in
a
certain
zip
code
or
certain
neighborhood
individuals
often
call
us
for
housing
options
when
people
are
trying
to
move,
or
maybe
they
determine
that
they
don't
feel
safe
in
their
home
anymore.
We
can
look
at
different
sorts
and
find
a
variety
of
resources
to
help
match
their
needs.
C
C
C
When
we
talk
about
housekeeping,
sometimes
we
understand
that
people
don't
feel
safe
in
their
home,
and
you
might,
you
know,
visit
someone
and
realize
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
in
the
way
there
might
be
places
where
they're
not
able
to
clean-
maybe
it's
in
the
winter,
with
snow
removal
or
in
the
summer
with
regard
to
yard,
or
maybe
it's
just
getting
things
down
from
high
shelves.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
people
are
really
safe,
and
so
we
can
use
a
variety
of
resources
to
help
out
and
the
final
one
I'll
talk
about
is
support
programs
for
us.
You
know
it
might
be
snap,
you
know
specialized
assistance
for
nutrition
programs,
it
might
be
helping
with
filling
out
forms,
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
that
the
senior
linkage
line
can
provide
for
for
families
and
again,
we've
had.
C
You
know
people
in
their
20s
and
30s
call
on
behalf
of
grandparents
or
aunties
we've
had
spouses
call
partners,
paul
or
individuals
who
are
professionals
or
folks,
like
you
on
an
advisory
committee.
Just
wanting
to
find
more
resources
in
the
community.
C
Our
staff
and
volunteers
can
help
a
lot
of
different
areas.
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
say
if
we
were
going
to
brag
just
a
little
bit
is
trellis
is
really
good
on
medicare
eligibility,
eligibility
benefits,
assistance,
programs,
part
d,
a
b,
c
and
d
completing
forms.
If,
if
you
know
of
folks
who
are
interested
and
have
real
questions,
whether
they're,
you
know
late,
50s,
early,
60s
and
they're
going
to
be
eligible
in
a
couple
years,
and
they
want
to
figure
out
what
the
road
ahead
looks
like
or
maybe
you're.
C
You
know
in
your
70s
and
you're
like
I.
I
need
to
do
some
cost
comparison
on
different
things.
We
are
really
good
at
this
work
on
the
senior
linkage
line.
Some
folks
want
information
about
moving.
You
might
have
a
fall.
For
instance,
you
might
have
a
neighbor,
who's
fallen,
went
to
the
hospital,
and
then
they
go
into
rehabilitation,
rehabilitative
services
and
their
whole
goal
is
to
get
back
home.
We
have
different
units
within
trellis
to
help
out.
C
We
have
one
called
the
pre-admission
screening
and
it's
kind
of
a
federally
required
program,
kind
of
intended
to
ensure
individuals
meet
level
of
care,
so
they're
at
an
appropriate
level
of
care.
But
we
also
have
a
really
neat
program
called
return
to
community,
and
this
is
just
an
unsung
hero
of
the
organization
when
individuals
want
to
transition
back.
Let's
say
they
did
fall,
went
into
the
hospital
transitioned
back
to
a
therapeutic.
You
know
award,
maybe,
and
they
want
to
get
back
home.
C
We
can
pair
them
with
one
of
our
community
living
specialists
and
they
can
make
an
individualized
plan
and
it's
free
of
charge.
We
work
with
individuals
for
up
to
five
years.
You
know,
maybe
they
ended
up
with
a
fall
based
on
a
bathroom
and
we
need
to
add
handrails
right.
We
need
to
put
a
shower
chair
in
these
are
easy
things
that
we
can
do
to
kind
of
help.
I
think
I
love
to
talk
a
lot
about
caregiver
support
and
supporting
our
loved
ones.
C
C
In
terms
of
support
programs,
we
help
folks
and
caregivers
connect
with
different
support
groups.
You
know
in
the
family,
we
maybe
we
don't
want
to
vent
it
out,
but
you
might
be
more
safe
and
talking
within
a
group
that
can
meet
your
needs.
Maybe
you
just
need
a
little
sympathy
and
advice
for
someone
who's
actually
going
through
the
same
thing
as
you
and
finally,
with
regard
to
caregivers,
we
we
have
a
network
of
respite.
C
Sometimes
you
just
need
an
hour
away
to
take
a
walk
or
to
take
a
nap,
and
we
can
connect
folks
with
that.
So
and
we
do
a
lot
in
terms
of
caregiver
support.
C
Two
more
on
this
slide
prescription
needs.
You
know
we
know
that
prescription
drugs,
the
part
d
plan-
is
really
expensive
and
you
could
meet
with
us
on
the
phone
on
the
senior
linkage
line
or
you
could
schedule
an
appointment
to
meet
with
our
folks
they're
volunteers
and
they
can
do
cost
comparisons
and
they
can
look
at
different
drugs
and
and
you
could
give
them
a
list
of
the
drugs
that
you
happen
to
take,
and
we
can
kind
of
figure
out
well.
C
And
finally,
I
would
say
we
do
a
sorry,
a
similar
presentation
on
fraud,
medical
issues
and
waste
and
abuse,
and
if
you
knew
of
anyone
or
maybe
yourself
that
felt
like
you-
had
concerns
with
medicare
billing
or
errors,
you
just
want
to
talk
to
someone
kind
of
you
know
impartial.
We
can
talk
to
you
about
that.
You
can
attend
a
class
for
free
to
learn
about
it.
But
if
you
feel
like
you've
been
had
a
fraud
against
you,
we
can
help.
C
You
actually
fill
out
the
paperwork
to
the
federal
level
to
see
if
we
can
make
a
difference
in
that
of
your
life.
So
the
senior
linkage
line
has
a
lot
of
different
places
where
we
can
help
you
fill
out
applications
if
you're
interested
for
us
fuel
assistance.
Energy
assistance
is
so
important
in
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
C
We
can
also,
we
know
the
third
one
and
the
fourth
one
on
there,
the
medicare
savings
program
and
the
low
income
subsidy.
We
have
a
lot
of
minnesotans
and
we
actually
identify
the
different
zip
codes
where
people
live,
where
people
are
probably
eligible
to
have
help
with
prescription
drugs,
and
they
have
the
premiums
that
we
can
use
federal
programs
and
state
programs
and
county
programs
to
lower
those
costs,
and,
I
have
to
say
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
across
the
state.
C
Don't
take
advantage
of
it,
and
so
we
we
love
to
get
the
message
out.
But
you
know
maybe
folks
want
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
the
the
programs
that
we
help
with
prescriptions.
So
there's
a
lot
of
assistance
if
people
just
call
and
ask
for
assistance.
So
if
you
happen
to
need
us
anytime
again
we're
kind
of
a
monday
through
friday,
during
the
normal
weekdays
8
to
4
30.
folks,
can
call
us
during
a
normal
year.
That's
not
covered
we're
going
in
person,
but
there's
online
opportunities.
C
There's
chat
opportunities
all
folks
have
to
do
is
reach
out.
If
you
happen
to
be
in
a
location
where
you
maybe
you're
a
block
club
leader
or
maybe
you're
part
of
an
organization,
maybe
you're
a
rotary
member
or
kiwanis
member
or
something-
and
you
might
have
need
for
some
of
the
literature
that
we
offer.
We
can
send
that
out
to
you
free
of
charge,
just
I'll
show
in
a
couple
slides
somewhere,
you
might
be
able
to
help,
but
this
is
the
number
you
know
if
you
want
to
jot
that
one
down
800-333-2433.
C
Help
us,
you
know
just
a
phone
call
away,
and
you
know
we
know
that
during
certain
times
of
the
year,
it's
really
busy.
You
know
we're
coming
up
on
open
enrollment,
it's
kind
of
like
our
our
high
time
for
the
the
senior
linkage
line
just
a
couple
insider
tips,
the
best
time
to
call
is
friday
afternoon.
C
So
I
would
just
you
know,
take
a
break
on
that
day,
but
you
can
reach
out
to
us
and
we'll
try
to
get
back
to
you
whenever
you
know
when
it's,
when
we
can
do
it
the
the
best.
Sometimes
people
just
reach
out
on
the
on
the
side
and
email
us
and
we
get
back.
C
I
wanted
to
focus
on
one
thing
here.
I
don't
know
if
people
are
interested,
some
people
love
to
call
the
senior
linkage
line
and
we'll
just
do
all
the
research
for
you
right,
but
this
is
the
website
we
go
to,
and
so
I
like
to
show
it
to
folks.
It's
minnesota
minnesotahelp.info,
it's
not
a
resource.
That's
just
focused
on
seniors,
it's
a
resource
where
anyone
in
the
state
of
minnesota
can
turn
for
resources,
whether
you're
a
veteran,
maybe
someone
living
with
disabilities.
C
Maybe
what
have
questions
about
transportation
or
veteran
status?
We
have
families
with
little
children,
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
here
for
those.
But
if
you
look
at
our
services,
there's
more
than
43
000
services
in
this
database,
more
than
12
000
providers,
we
have
more
than
25
000
sites
throughout
the
state
of
minnesota
and
the
neat
thing
is
at
the
top.
If
you
go
to
the
website
up
here,
you
can
actually
change
the
language.
So
let's
say
you
have
a
neighbor
that
is
a
primary
spanish
speaker
or
hmong
or
russian.
C
We
can
work
in
a
number
of
different
languages.
I
think
like
over
100
language
options
and
I'm
going
to
pull
a
list.
For
instance,
I'm
going
to
go
up
and
I'm
going
to
do
a
search
for
pca.
I
did
this
for
my
grandparents
a
couple
weeks
ago
were
looking
for
a
pca
service
in
their
area
and
services
to
come
into
their
home,
and
so
I
did
a
search
for
the
service
that
I
wanted
and
I
searched
by
their
zip
code
and
it
came
in
the
english
language
and
then
we
switched
it
over.
C
My
grandparents
speak
arabic,
and
so
we
translated
it
on
the
fly
to
arabic.
So
there's
a
lot
of
resources
that
people
wouldn't
know
they
just
have
to
kind
of
play
around
with
the
services
for
a
little
bit,
but
you
might
be
again
someone
who
wants
to
do
their
own
google
search
and
go
get
in
there
and
play
in
the
in
the
sandbox
go
for
it
minnesota
help
info.
C
If
you'd
like
someone
to
wrap
it
up
with
a
bow
and
send
it
to
you,
the
list
that
you
want,
you
can
give
us
a
call
on
the
senior
linkage
line,
so
we
can
also
help
you
with
some
publications
that
we
have
available
this
one.
The
healthcare
choices
is
one
that
we
put
out
every
year.
It's
all
of
the
plans
for
for
medicare
programs.
It's
a
thick
book
and
you
can
download
it
at
any
time
at
mnhealthcarechoices.com.
C
And
it's
just
it's
a
neat
guide
to
use
the
planning
ahead
guide
is
one
that
we
use
for
folks
that
provide
information
on
things
to
consider.
As
you
age,
we
have
a
presentation
specifically
on
folks
who
are
new
to
medicare.
Anyone
at
any
age
can
attend,
but
typically
folks,
you
know,
as
they
approach
that
magic
age
of
65.
They
attend
that
that
workshop.
C
We
have
all
of
our
literature.
Like
I
said
if
you
wanted
a
stack
of
things
related
to
the
senior
linkage
line
mailed
to
you,
we
have
this
particular
one
in
seven
different
languages,
but
we
have
cards
related
to
fraud
and
medicare
and
long-term
care,
and
just
the
list
goes
on
and
on
and
finally
I'll
just
put
a
plug
out
there.
C
We
have
two
sister
organizations
that
we
work
so
closely
with
and
if
you
wanted
to
have
a
magnet,
we
could
send
it
out
if
we're
on
the
senior
linkage
line
and
we're
having
a
conversation
with
someone
and
they,
you
know
in
the
conversation
mentioned
they're
a
veteran
and
there's
a
service
that
we
don't
know
about
we're
going
to
do
a
warm
transfer
and
wait
to
someone
on
the
veterans.
Linkage
line
gets
on
board
and
then
we'll
drop
off
the
car.
C
If
they
want
us
and
then
the
folks
at
the
the
veterans
line
will
take
over.
And
similarly
if
we
have
someone
who's
working
with
a
disability
and
we
need
more
information.
These
are
just
sister
organizations
that
do
extraordinary
work
and
they
refer
to
us
and
we
refer
to
them.
So
these
are
just
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
available
that
can
be
sent
out
or
you
can
download
them
yourself,
and
I
guess
I
would
be
remiss
I
mentioned
earlier
at
the
beginning
that
I'm
the
manager
of
volunteers
outreach
and
we
love
volunteers.
C
If
you
or
anyone
else,
you
know
knew
of
someone
who
might
be
interested
in
giving
back
to
the
community,
we
would
love
to
talk.
We
have
volunteers
who
do
the
medicare
counseling
like
incredible,
left
brain
thinkers,
but
we
also
have
people
writing
articles
on
social
media
and
we
have
folks
who
give
presentations
like
I'm
doing
today
and
our
newest
role
might
be
of
interest
to
you.
C
We
are
rolling
out
a
role
called
volunteer
ambassador,
so
I'm
thinking
about
individuals
who
live
in
a
senior
living
residence
or
they're,
a
member
of
the
kiwanis
club
or
the
member
of
the
auto
club
or
the
flower
club
and
they're,
just
that
you
know
person
with
all
the
information
they
know
everyone's
name:
they
they
call
them
by
name
what
we're
looking
for
is
a
volunteer
ambassador
to
to
kind
of
provide
information
about
trellis
and
then
they
in
turn
come
back
to
us
and
say
hey.
We
got
a
problem.
We
need
to
fix
this.
C
So
before
I
move
on
and
talk
more
specifically
about
trellis,
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
put
out
a
frame
of
reference
and
kind
of
show
some
of
our
key
performance
data
that
we
use
to
keep
ourselves
on
track
at
trellis
right.
So
you'll
notice
here
that
nearly
30
000
calls
were
made
into
the
senior
linkage
line
last
year
that
we
handled
about
20,
29
000
calls
were
made
for
pre-admission
screenings
again,
that's
when
people
are
going
into
skilled,
nursing
or
assisting
living,
and
they
need
to
have
that
code.
C
That's
required
by
federal
law,
state
law,
you
know
about
45
4
600
clients
served
in
our
community
when
we
were
actually
going
face
to
face
about
2
600,
volunteer
hours
and
1700
presentations.
So
these
are
the
things
in
terms
of
our
key
data
that
keeps
us
kind
of
knowing
where
we're
doing
and
a
lot
of
great
work
was
done
last
year.
I
know
it
was
a
pandemic
and
we
suffered
significantly,
but
we
still
tried
to
plod
through
and
do
the
things
we
needed
to
do.
So.
C
If
you
have
further
questions
this
is
that
number
to
to
to
contact,
but
now
what
I'm
going
to
do?
If
it's?
Okay
with
you,
is
I'm
going
to
kind
of
now
that
you
have
this
basic
understanding
of
senior
linkage
line.
I
wanted
to
take
a
couple
minutes
and
talk
about
trellis
as
the
organization,
because
that's
who
employs
me
and
and
the
rest
of
the
team
we're
about
100,
strong
at
trellis
and
here
at
the
organization.
C
Our
mission
is
to
assist
individuals
to
age
well
and
to
develop
the
capacity
of
communities
to
care
for
an
aging
population,
and
we
support
our
mission
by
providing
services
and
information
and
innovations
to
help
people
optimize
their
well-being
as
their
age.
So
a
little
bit
about
what
we
do.
Trellis
brings
people
and
organizations
together
in
community-wide
efforts,
and
we
do
this
by
connecting
people
with
services
and
resources.
C
We
do
this
by
funding
community
organizations
that
provide
services
to
our
older
adults
through
our
title
iii
funding,
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
that
in
a
couple
slides,
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
and
work
our
work
through
bringing
networks
together
in
a
collaborative
way
kind
of
like
the
relationship,
we're
trying
to
form
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
trellis
now,
and
we
also
connect
health
and
social
care
in
an
ever-changing
world.
C
C
According
to
2019
data,
there
are
about
900
000,
older
adults
in
the
state
of
minnesota,
who
are
65
or
older,
so
72
percent
of
those
older
adults
are
actually
living
in
the
twin
cities
area
so
that
642
000
number
is
on
your
screen.
That
represents
just
over
70
percent
in
the
twin
cities.
It's
just
over
11
of
our
our
population
are
folks
who
are
native
aboriginal
or
identifying
a
minority
population.
C
So
you
can
kind
of
see
from
the
the
chart
that
when
we
look
at
hennepin,
county
and
ramsey
county,
a
majority
of
our
folks
of
color
minority
status
are
in
our
two.
You
know
st
paul
and
minneapolis.
Basically
in
those
counties-
and
I
guess
it
really
isn't
too
much
a
surprise
for
those
of
us
who
live
in
minneapolis,
that
these
two
counties
are
holding
our
largest
ethnic
communities.
C
East
african
somali
karen
language
hmong
community.
So
I
guess
we're
kind
of
proud
of
that
and
the
the
folks
that
are
in
our
inner
network
and
as
we
support
them.
So
I
think
you
know
for
all
of
us
who
work
in
this
field-
and
you
know
with
your
work
on
the
committee.
C
You
know
aging
is
a
really
crucial
topic
and,
as
we
move
forward
into
the
near
future,
the
number
of
older
adults
is
just
going
to
increase,
and
that's
why
it's
just
incredibly
crucial
that
we
bridge
that
gap
between
healthcare
and
social
care
services
and
at
trellis.
We
try
to
do
this
by
partnering,
with
healthcare
organizations
to
fund
services
for
a
growing
older
population.
C
We
try
to
do
this
by
using
a
network
approach
that
pulls
people
together,
we're
also
fostering
a
person-centered
approach
to
well-being,
and
we,
we
really
are
laser,
focused
on
disparities
in
the
health
care
realm
and
it
kind
of
helps
ground
us
in
the
work
that
we
do.
So
if
I
step
back
just
a
minute,
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
30
000
foot
of
kind
of
trellis.
As
an
organization,
we
talked
a
little
bit
earlier
about
our
relationship
with
the
senior
linkage
line,
and
this
is
our
main
logo
for
the
organization.
C
But
you
may
recognize
some
of
these
logos.
They
all
fall
within
the
umbrella
of
trellis
and
if
you
take
them
as
a
whole,
we're
kind
of
a
powerhouse
because,
as
I
said
earlier,
trellis
trellis
is
focused
on
on
optimizing
well-being
of
an
aging
population
through
innovations
and
the
programs
that
you
see
on
the
screen.
The
remember
project
act
on
alzheimer's
juniper
and
dementia
friends
of
minnesota
they're,
all
programs
of
trellis
and,
like
I
said,
the
senior
linkage
line,
is
a
partner
of
ours
with
the
board
on
aging.
C
So
I'll
stop
here
and
mention
that
if
anyone
has
an
interest
in
learning
more
about
dementia
friendly
communities
in
our
state,
I
invite
you
to
learn
more
about
becoming
a
dementia
friend,
I'm
a
dementia
friend
and
on
september
7th.
We
are
hosting
a
statewide
summit
at
trellis
for
activities
happening
in
communities
throughout
minnesota,
neighborhood
to
neighborhood
community
to
community.
I'm
on
the
planning
committee
and
the
agenda
is
really
coming
together.
C
You
know
if
you
go
to
the
website,
it's
just
trellis
connects
dot
org
and
if
you
do
a
slash
sign
up
that
will
send
us
right
to
the
e-newsletter,
and
I
think
that's
probably
one
of
the
first
steps
is,
you
know,
becoming
really
more
familiar
with
the
senior
linkage
line
and
things
that
we
do
at
trellis
is
kind
of
keeping
in
the
know
of
what
the
major
policy
pieces
are
legislative
pieces,
the
programs
that
we
sponsor
and
the
innovative
programs
that
we
work
with
so
wanted
to
spend
just
a
couple
slides
just
talking
about
the
various
programs
within
the
organization
we
host
an
incredible
program,
called
pension
and
retirement
rights
would
provide
free
assistance
to
individuals
that
have
legal
questions
related
to
their
pensions
or
other
retirement
benefits.
C
Not
only
do
we
serve
minnesota
but
wisconsin
iowa,
north
dakota,
south
dakota
and
nebraska,
and
the
neat
thing
is
that
in
the
last
10
years,
we've
assisted
more
than
1500
individuals
recover
more
than
eight
million
dollars.
Eight
million
dollars
in
benefits
it's
staffed
by
two
incredible
attorneys,
the
nicest
guys
ever
and
we
bring
on
law,
clerks
and
attorneys
that
happen
to
be
volunteers.
C
It's
just
a
really
neat
organization.
Within
the
organization
we
primarily
serve
low-income
residents
seniors.
The
average
age
is
about
68,
with
an
income
of
just
less
than
50
000.
So
neat
program,
if
you
know
of
anyone
who
needs
assistance,
because
you
know
you're
looking
at
someone,
maybe
who
worked
for
mobile
back
in
the
day
right
doesn't
exist
anymore,
but
if
you
paid
in
and
you
earned
that
pension
we
can
help
you
recover
it.
So
another
program
I'll
talk
about
is
juniper.
You
know
it's
a
it's
a
network,
a
self-managed
healthcare
and
well-being
in
minnesota.
C
It's
a
network
of
these
community-based
organizations
and
health
systems
that
offer
evidence-based
health
promotion
programs
to
help
people
throughout
the
state.
Again,
this
one
is
a
statewide
program,
not
just
in
the
twin
cities
together
we're
trying
to
help
people
live,
healthier,
lives,
more
fulfilling
lives
and
more
connected
lives.
C
So
the
organizations
that
that
are
part
of
juniper
include
community
centers
and
social
service
organizations
and
senior
housing,
health
systems,
block
nurse
programs,
for
instance,
and
since
2018
we
serve
so
many
people
in
about
12
000
people
in
over
1
300
classes
and,
if
you're
wondering
about
what
type
of
classes.
If
we
look
at
the
type
of,
I
call
them
buckets
right,
we
have
types
of
classes
that
fit
in
to
live.
Well,
you
know,
you've
got
chronic
conditions
and
diabetes
and
chronic
pain
right.
C
You've
got
classes
that
are
like
get
fit,
so
the
authorities
foundation
have
exercise
programs,
and
we
have
this
really
neat.
One
that
came
through
the
pandemic
called
walk
for
ease.
They
did
it
socially
distance
out
in
the
neighborhood.
It
was
really
creative
right
and
then
we
have
fall.
Prevention
fall
prevention
week.
Every
year
is
september
this
year.
It's
the
20th
through
the
24th.
C
My
unit,
which
is
volunteers,
outreach
is
going
to
be
partnering
with
the
juniper
program
to
put
on
the
series
of
prevention,
fall,
prevention
classes,
so
kind
of
exciting.
The
type
of
work
that
we're
doing-
and
the
neat
thing
is
that
these
programs,
for
the
most
part,
are
free
right.
You
might
have
a
program,
let's
say
the
diabetes
program,
that
there's
a
booklet
that
might
be
ten
dollars,
but
the
actual
class
is
free,
it's
just
the
material.
C
So
I
encourage
everyone
to
to
reach
out
to
the
website
to
learn
more,
and
if
you
wanted
a
presentation
to
learn
more
about,
you
know
partnering,
maybe
with
your
local
community
center
or
if
you
feel
like
there's
gaps
in
services
in
your
ward
of
the
city.
We
certainly
would
love
to
meet.
Sarah
is
our
director
of
that
program
and
she
is
a
sharp
cookie
really
like
working
with
her.
C
I
mentioned
earlier
that
trellis
is
an
area
agency
on
aging
for
the
seventh
county
metro
area,
that
that
means
that
we're
just
one
of
the
seven
agencies
that
are
federally
designated
by
the
older
americans
act
in
the
entire
state
of
minnesota,
and
what
this
means
is
that
we
can
funnel
federal
dollars
to
community
organizations
that
directly
touch
the
lives
of
seniors
across
the
twin
cities.
C
So
our
seniors
from
really
diverse
cultures
also
found
it
extremely
difficult
to
find
appropriate
meals,
culturally,
appropriate
meals
because
congregate,
dining
sites
and
their
neighborhoods
were
closed.
So
at
this
point,
our
networks
of
incredible
community
organizations
stepped
up
to
the
plate
with
one
of
our
organizations
and
and
tried
to
step
into
that
gap.
C
As
a
member
of
you
know
the
city's
advisory
committee,
you
might
be
interested
in
some
of
the
organizations
that
trellis
funds
through
our
title
three.
I
mentioned
that
a
little
bit
earlier.
Title
three
is
that
pipeline
of
dollars
from
the
older
americans
act
that
we
use.
I
asked
a
colleague
from
the
other
side
of
the
organization
that
I
work
with
to
pull
a
list
of
different
social
service
agencies
that
serve
minneapolis
residents.
C
They
may
also
serve
saint
paul,
for
instance,
in
other
places,
but
they
definitely
serve
the
folks
where
we
live.
We
found
12
such
organizations,
organizations
like
centoro
tyron,
guzman,
primarily
in
the
spanish-speaking
population,
common
bond
communities,
east
side,
neighborhood
services,
long
fellow
seward,
healthy
seniors,
a
group
called
mid
minnesota
legal
aid,
pillsbury
united
communities
at
the
bryant
coil
center
in
seat
of
riverside.
C
Now,
while
we
know
that
funding
is
never
enough,
there
were
incredible
strides
made
with
the
federal
cares
dollars,
in
addition
to
the
title
three
dollars
that
we
had
available
and
right
now.
Actually
this
week
we'll
we
opened
up
an
rfp
to
ask
other
organizations
throughout
the
city
and
the
metro
area
to
apply
for
dollars,
and
I
think
it's
either
this
friday
or
monday
next
monday.
C
I
think
it's
monday
that
the
rfp
closes
and
we
tried
an
extra
extenuous
recruiting
of
organizations
that
have
never
applied
to
us,
primarily
individuals
and
organizations
representing
the
communities
that
had
a
hard
time
coming
forward,
whether
they
be
geographically
isolated
communities
of
poverty,
communities
of
color,
rural
parts
of
the
metro.
So
who
knows
in
another
couple
of
months
we
might
find
another
list
of
organizations
that
we
work
with.
So
you
know
just
to
conclude,
I
look
forward
to
collaboration
with
the
city.
Like
I
said
I
live
here.
I
work
for
the
city.
C
I
have
a
great
deal
of
compassion
in
my
heart
for
the
work
that
you
guys
are
doing,
I'm
open
to
questions
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
turn
off
the
presentation
in
just
a
second,
but
you
know
I'm
open
to
questions
that
you
might
have.
I
may
not
be
able
to
answer
them,
but
I
may
be
able
to
just
pipe
in
so
I
am
trying
to
not
share
trying
to
get
back
christina.
I.
D
C
B
Back
all
right,
great
okay,
great
thank
you.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions?
Hi
paulette?
I
see
that
you've
joined
us.
Welcome.

Ernie
lewis,
ward
13.,
I
have
a
family
in
texas.
If
I
call
the
linkage
line,
can
someone
help
connect
me
with
information
in
texas.
C
You
know
what
ernie
you
can
email
me.
I
can
by
the
time
we're
done.
With
this
conversation,
I
will
find
it's
called
ship,
the
state
health
insurance
program
for
each
state.
Now
every
one
of
them
is
different,
but
if
I
can
get
your
email
address
and
you
can
drop
it
in
the
chat,
if
you
want
to-
or
I
can
get
it
through
christina,
I
can
find
texas's
location.
So
we
do
this
all
the
time.
So
yes,
absolutely!
Oh.
D
And
my
question:
thank
you
for
the
information
and
the
wealth
of
information.
I
hope
it's
recorded
if
you
can
get
some
copy
of
it,
but
my
concern
is
that
when
I
I've
never
been
successful
in
getting
through
on
senior
linkage
line,
so
that's
my
biggest
concern.
So
you
have
limited
number
of
people
that
answer
the
phone.
D
I
guess
my
suggestion
is
that
they
need
more
people
online
because
it
doesn't
matter
what
time
of
day
morning
afternoon,
whatever
I
don't
know,
if
I
try
it
on
a
friday
afternoon,
but
I
have
not
been
successful
in
the
senior
lincoln
line,
so
I
stopped
referring
people
to
seeing
because
I
had
trouble
and
everybody's
not
going
to
have
time
to
sit
on
the
phone
for
45
minutes.
I
mean
if
we're
seniors,
but
that's
not
me.
That's
all
we
have
time
to
do
is
sit
and
wait.
C
I
I
hear
you
I
hear
you
in
the
cities
we
have
25
individuals
who
are
on
the
call
line.
Typically
at
any
given
time
we
might
have
10
volunteers
they're,
just
like
staff,
they
don't
get
paid.
This
is
how
they
donate
their
time
to
the
community
throughout
the
state
of
minnesota.
Typically
between
45
and
55,
any
given
day
folks
are
taking
calls.
So
when
the
call
load
is
is
very
high,
it's
it's
difficult.
C
One
suggestion
is
that
friday
afternoon,
spot
is
a
little
bit
better.
Another
suggestion
is
in
case
it
happens
to
work.
We
have
a
program
called
health
insurance
counseling
and
I'm
not
sure
why
you're
calling,
but
if
it
had
to
do
anything
related
to
medicare,
you
can
make
an
appointment
online
for
a
specific
time
and
then
we
call
you
or
you
know
we
dial
into
the
same
link
and
then
you
can
actually
say
I
want
to
talk
to
larry.
C
I
go
online
and
set
it
up
and
you
can
you
know
it's
something
that
no
one
likes
to
wait
online
and
we
I
I
totally
hear
you
hazel.
I
hate
to
wait
online
too.
Sometimes
I
just
put
my
phone
on
on
you
know.
I
carry
it
around
with
me
and
wait
for
the
person
to
show
up
it's
maddening,
and
so
I
have
a
lot
of
empathy.
I
know
that
it
comes
down
to
budgets
with
the
state
of
minnesota
and
the
contracts
that
we
have,
but
the
twin
cities
has
the
most
throughout
the
state.
C
We
have
25
that
at
any
given
time
and
during
the
open,
enrollment
that
october
15th
through
december
7th,
we
actually
take
a
lot
of
our
managers
off
their
normal
job
and
put
them
on
the
lines
to
make
sure.
So
I
I
guess
I
can
apologize
for
that.
I
know
that
the
frustration
is
there,
but
maybe
if
we
can
find
some
ways
around
the
edges
to
get
you
some
the
information,
maybe
we
can
get
some
appointments
for
you.
D
C
C
C
Ma'am,
I
will
grab
an
email
or
you
can
put
it
in
the
chat
right
now.
No
problem
and
I'll
see.
If
there's
a
call
back,
I
tell
you
one.
Last
week
I
was
meeting
with
a
virtually
with
a
group
and
they
were
serving
native
american
elders
and
they
gave
a
problem
and
they
said
jetta
we
can't
get
through.
We
have
no
idea
how
to
get
through,
and
I
said
all
right,
so
I
took
it
to
my
manager
or
a
co-manager
equal
to
me.
I
said
becky.
I
need
help
with
this.
C
She
went
up,
she
pulled
the
list,
she
gave
it
back
and
I
emailed
it
to
the
person.
We
can't
do
that
all
the
time,
but
sometimes
when
you're
really
in
a
desperate
place,
we
can
certainly
try
to
help.
So,
let's
talk
offline
about,
maybe
you
have
a
question
and
I
can
find
the
answer
and
get
it
back
to
you.
C
That
because
it's
frustrating-
but
you
know
when
you
talk
budgets,
it's
difficult,
so
I
just
hate
it
hurts
my
heart
that
you
don't
want
to
talk
refer
to
the
senior
linkage
line.
So,
let's
see
if
we
can't
be
better
partners
and
and
do
better
job.
So
let's.
B
D
C
B
Okay,
I
know
janet
had
her
hand
up
and
jenna
I
I
did
see
that
ernie
did
put
his
email
in
the
chat
and
I
can
put
it
in
for
you
hazel.
If
you
want
me
to
or
feel
free
to
do,
that
you
can
do
it
sure
yep
and
my
last
experience
with
the
senior
luggage
line
that
there
was
not
that
opportunity
to
provide
a
callback
number,
so
that
might
be
something
to
bring
back
to
the
powers
that
be.
B
I
think
that's
a
great
suggestion,
hazel
I
that
would
that
could
really
solve
a
lot
of
things.
Thanks.
C
F
C
Ernie,
I'm
writing
down
your
email,
I'm
looking
at.
Is
it
paulette's
question
because
the
new
infrastructure
bill
just
passed?
The
senate
includes
vast
changes
in
medicare
benefits
to
allow
medicare,
including
dental
benefits.
C
How
are
you
anticipating
answering
those
questions
when
the
final
bill
is
enacted?
Well,
first,
we
have
to
have
the
final
bill.
It's
got
to
go
through
the
house
and
then
it's
got
to
get
pieces
and
then
all
of
the
information
wandered
down,
so
we
meet
weekly
every
thursday
supervisors
across
the
state
of
minnesota
meet
and
all
of
these
questions
come
up
so
the
state
as
soon
as
they
grab
the
information
and
whittle
it
down
for
us,
then
we
provide
it
to
you
know
to
the
powers
that
be
so.
C
We
will
come
out
with
legislative
updates
and
programmatic
updates
and
we
have
been
waiting
for
the
vision
and
the
dental
to
to
happen.
This
is
just
I
mean
why
not
right.
So
if
you
wanted
to
sign
up
for
the
e-news,
I
will
drop
it
in
the
chat
and
I
will
also
forward
it
to
christina
so
that
she
can
forward
both
the
powerpoint
presentation
and
then
some
of
the
resources
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about.
Okay,
oh
hazel,
thank
you
for
your
email
address.
Let
me
write
that
down.
B
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
remind
because
of
our
public
meeting
laws.
We
have
to
keep
the
chat
room
to
something
as
simple
as
exchanging
so
jeddah.
I
really
appreciate
you
reading
the
question
of
paulette's
out
loud.
B
They
are
really
ensuring
that
we
are
following
our
open
meeting
law
processes.
So
janet
did
you
still
have
a
question.
G
Yeah,
well,
it's
not
really
a
question.
I
just
wanted
to
report
that
shortly
before
our
meeting
I
called
in
to
the
senior
linkage
line
and
with
a
question
similar
to
what
you
had
earlier
hazel
about
what
I
might
be
able
to
get
in
terms
of
help
with
my
house,
and
I
got
through
really
quite
quickly
and
after
a
short.
G
Yes,
after
short
time
of
things
that
I'm
sure
that
are
legally
required
of
you,
I
had
a
few
options,
but
the
major
option
was
to
stay
on
the
line
and
somebody
would-
and
I
got
somebody
almost
immediately
and
within
10
minutes
they
returned
with
to
the
referrals
of
two
chore
groups
that
would
be
able
to
help
me
within
my
area
and
possibly
even
be
paid
for
with
my
elderly
waivers
so
yeah
so
so
success.
G
A
B
G
D
Class,
I
think,
about
health,
navigating
your
health
or
something
like
that.
Yes,
yes,
yeah,
so
because
I
was
gonna,
ask
you
about
like
when
you
showed
those
other
partners
and
the
one
you
had
on
demand
shows
just
wondering
if
you
had
partnered
with
voa,
because
they
do
have
a
well-known
dementia
program
through
voa
with
dorothya
harris.
B
H
Hi,
so
I'm
I'm
so
sorry
that
my
my
camera
has
been
disabled
by
a
firewall.
So
that's
why
you
are
not
seeing
me
with
that
being
said,
everyone
here
is
being
so
lovely
and
so
nice
and
understanding
today
in
response
to
the
frustration
regarding
calling
in
to
the
senior
linkage
line,
but
this
has
been
an
experience
for
several
people
that
I
know-
and
I
understand
that
you
do
have
volunteers
just
so.
C
C
C
I
worked
for
the
state,
I
worked
for
the
legislature,
but
for
the
last
15
years
my
heart
has
been
a
non-profit
and
I'm
an
advocate,
and
so
I
think,
as
we
sit
in
community,
it's
a
matter
of
advocating
to
the
state
board
on
aging
that
we
need
more
individuals
and
the
state
will
advocate
to
the
federal
right
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
piece.
So
whether
we
set
up
some
time
for
focus
groups,
because
I'm
not
sure
if
the
state
board
and
aging
actually
hears
the
voices.
H
C
Of
of
of
of
our
folks
on
the
ground
right,
they
just
know
that
wow,
it's
a
42,
it's
a
42
minute!
Wait
right
now
get
some
get
some
people
off
whatever
they're
doing
and
get
them
on
the
line.
That's
usually
the
message
we
see
because
we
watch
it
really
carefully,
because
no
one
wants
to
be
on
the
line
and
wait
it's
a
waste
of
time
right.
C
I
would
say
that
that
being
creative
about
our
voices
and
having
an
audience
with
you
know
the
state
or
creating
opportunities
for
a
focus
group,
because
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
some
power
right.
You're
you've
got
a
great
name
behind
you
in
terms
of
our
advocacy,
I
think
christina.
If
we
could
work
through
networks
to
see,
if
we
could,
you
know
help
set
up
some
time
to
just
have
those
voices
heard.
You
know
I
mean
you.
C
Chat
is
good.
Adding
an
email
is
good,
adding
a
callback
option
right.
I
try.
When
I
call
in
I,
I
we've
been
advocating
on
communities
that
have
they
don't
speak
english
as
their
first
language.
They
speak
spanish.
They
speak
russian
and
we've
heard
from
our
indian
folks
from
india,
immigrants
who
are
now
citizens
saying
the
prompts
are
too
fast.
C
Can
you
I
understand
english?
Can
you
slow
it
down,
and
so
I
immediately
sent
it
up
to
the
line
of
command
and
karen
britain
who's.
Our
director
said
we'll
take
a
look
at
that
they're
they're
doing
that
right
now
and-
and
you
know,
if
we
don't
tell
them
the
problem,
they
can't
fix
it.
So
we
just
keep
you
know,
I
don't
it
doesn't
matter
how
hard
it
is
for
me
to
hear.
I
want
you
to
keep
telling
us
the
program
problems,
so
we
can
keep
fixing
them
okay,
but.
F
D
G
D
It's
not
quite
just
these
people
who
speak
a
different
language,
but
for
us.
D
B
I
Oh
all,
right
yeah.
What
capacity
do
you
have
for
people
who
are
hearing
impaired?
Because
that
is
a
difficult
situation
for
anybody
that
needs
to
communicate.
C
Absolutely
in
our
presentations
when
we
go
to
the
community,
I
have
the
ability
to
contract
with
someone
to
come
with,
who
might
be
able
to
sign.
We
have
the
ability
on
our
presentations
to
have
a
contract
for
sign
language,
and
then
we
have
one
of
our
volunteers
works
for
deaf
hard
of
hearing
pieces,
and
so
we
have,
in
the
past,
work
with
folks
to
come
in
to
sit
alongside
when
we
do
a
presentation
or
when
we
go
in
person.
C
For
that
I
have
to
admit
it's
not
my
wheelhouse.
If,
if
you
have
suggestions
paulette,
I
would
be
glad
to
hear
to
hear
them,
but
I
know
that
the
woman
who
worked
before
me
she-
they
had
opened
contracts
with
different
organizations
that
were
advocacy
groups
that
came
along
and
only
because
john
one
of
our
volunteers
works
in
that
community
and
and
whether
it's
personal
connection
or
just
a
professional
love.
He
was
working
with
individuals
that
were
hearing
impaired
and
and
opened
some
doors
for
us.
I
I
just
okay,
if
there's
a
42-minute
leg
in
and
waiting
for
people
who
aren't
hearing
impaired,
can
you
imagine
how
frustrating
it
would
be
for
somebody
that
is
hearing
impaired?
Are
you
do
you
have
the
capacity
to
text
for
people
that
are
hearing
impaired?
Can
somebody
get
onto
the
senior
linkage
line
by
texting
rather
than
sitting
and
waiting
for
42
minutes
and
then
finding
out
there
there's
nobody
there
that
can
handle
a
call
for
somebody.
That's
hearing
impaired.
C
Right,
we
do
have
a
a
chat
function
on
the
website
that
folks
can
come
in
and
so
folks
who
are
more
adept
and
they
want
to
have
the
written
text.
So
they
can
read
it.
That
is
an
option
available.
Currently.
A
And
we
also
non-kovid
this.
This
is
renee,
we
have
office
hours
and
our
folks
are
welcome
to
come
in
and
we'll
sit
down
with
people
and
again
have
us
somebody
to
sign
with
us.
If
we
need
to
help
people,
you
know
review
policies,
answer
questions,
and
so
we
we
welcome
people
to
come
to
our
office
out
in
arden
hills
as
well.
C
They
have
a
facebook
link
that
I
didn't
included,
but
it's
just
the
you
know,
state
of
of
texas
and
I
put
their
email
or
their
website
in
there,
but
christine,
I
think,
that's
a
great
reminder
of
the
tty.
I
will
find
that
right
now
as
we
I
will
google
search
and
I
will
find
it
for
us.
B
And
can
I
touch
again
on
angelique's,
and
forgive
me
if
I
didn't
take
it
correctly,
angelique,
but
historic
or
part
of
our
previous
conversations
is:
what
can
we,
as
a
committee,
do
to
support
you
and
your
efforts
and
advocating
for
the
resources
you
need,
such
as
a
letter
of
recommendation
to
you
know
the
board
on
aging
or
you
know
what?
What
does
that
look?
What
can
we
do
to
support
you
and
your
efforts
in
advocating
for
the
resources
you
need
certainly.
A
A
letter
to
the
board
and
aging
is
appropriate.
You
know,
senior
linkage
line
is
jet,
attacked
about
pass-through
is
federally
funded,
and
so
we
can
certainly
talk
to
senator.
You
know
write
a
letter
on
behalf
of
tatina
smith
or
amy
klobuchar.
A
You
know
saying
I
would
like
to
support
increased
funding
for
senior
services
and
and
the
senior
linkage
line,
and
they
both
have
offices
here
in
the
in
the
state
and
are
very
responsive
and
getting
back
to
you.
So
that's
another
way
to
jetta's
point
about,
advocacy
is
advocate
for
funding
and
particularly
as
we
look
at
the
the
human
infrastructure
bill
because
and
community
based
services
were
in
that.
H
C
Look
like
yeah
this
summer.
I
was
part
of
a
congressional
town
hall
for
another
district
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
That's
not
to
say
that
we
might
be
able
to
put
something
together
with
smith's
office
or
klobuchar's
office
to
bring
together
the
voices
of
individuals
who
are
seniors
or
support
and
advocate
for
seniors
to
have
the
ear.
C
I
know
that
senator
smith
has
been
very
open
to
these
issues
in
the
past,
not
to
say
that
amy
hasn't,
but
tina
smith
has
has
been
really
open
to
seniors
pieces,
and
so
maybe
it's
a
letter
from
this
group.
Maybe
it's
a
conversation,
maybe
when
she
has
a
congressional
town
hall
we
advocate
for
the
topic.
C
The
topic
just
happened
to
be
seniors,
and
so,
of
course
they
invited
the
senior
linkage
line,
but
I
think
any
opportunity
we
have
to
elevate
these
issues
because
it's
a
funding
issue
and
it's
a
priority
and
quite
frankly,
as
you
know
it,
the
squeaky
wheel
gets
the
oil,
and
so
if
we
have
enough
advocates
out
there
who
are
squeaky
and
are
asking
for
this,
then
you
know
we
have
a
better
chance
at
at
succeeding.
And
you
know
it's
inch
at
a
time
right.
C
B
Even
with
the
congregate
living
situations,
which
is
where
our
highest
death
rates
were
so.
B
Yeah
is
there
any
other
questions?
I
know
we're
at
two
o'clock
and
angelique
and
paulette
you
are
on
now.
We
shifted
the
agenda,
so
we
could
respect
our
presenters
time,
and
so
we
will
just
do
our
business
at
the
end,
such
as
adopting
the
agenda
we
already
moved
kind
of
through
and
the
acceptance
of
minutes,
etc.
B
And
then
any
committee
updates
or
check-ins
or
talking
about
moving
forward
ernie
has
an
announcement
for
those
who
weren't
here
earlier.
So
is
there
any
other
questions
or
comments,
and
I
will
connect
with
jeddah
and
renee
to
get
the
information
they
talked
about
out
to
all
the
committee
members.
B
B
It
can
be
really
riveting
at
times.
We.
We
appreciate
your
time
and
energy
and
a
lot
of
information,
and
thank
you
too,
for
being
open
to
this
conversation
and
talking
about
not
only
the
great
work
that
you're
all
taking
on,
but
where
we
as
a
committee,
have
had
some
concerns
with
where
the
gaps
and
the
challenges
that
you
have
in
trying
to
address
those
gaps.
So,
thank
you
again.
Thank
you.
A
F
B
F
E
B
H
G
This
is
janet
I'll.
Second,
if
if
we
still
need
a
second.
E
Okay,
so
we
have
the
accepted
acceptance
of
the
minutes
from
july.
The
8th,
I
hope,
you've
had
a
chance
to
read
them.
Are
there
any
additions
or
corrections
before
we
accept
them?
I
have.
B
Although
I
don't
know
how
we
can
officially
do
this,
because
flo
did
not
call
in
but
flo
called
me
up
and
mentioned
that
she
was
present
at
the
last
meeting
and
it
doesn't
list
flow,
so
I
said
I
would
make
that
adjustment
otherwise
yep
for
july.
B
E
D
E
Does
anyone
have
any
announcements?
Besides
me.
E
I
would
like
I'm
sorry
to
let
you
know
that
I
am
leaving
this
group.
I
am
going
to
go
more
local
in
my
efforts
as
I
age
in
my
house,
and
I'm
going
to
work
with
the
fulton
neighborhood
association
in
my
neighborhood.
It
meets
half
a
block
down
the
street
and
we're
able
to
meet
so
I
don't
even
have
to
drive.
So
this
is
my
last
meeting.
E
I
will
send
you
all
an
email
and
I
can
step
I
still
can
later
in
the
week,
giving
you
my
name
and
my
mailing
address
and
my
phone
number
and
wishing
you
all
well.
So
thank
you
much
for
allowing
me
to
be
a
part
of
this,
for
I
think
about
a
year
and
almost
three
quarters.
I
think,
but
I
don't
remember
anyway,
that's
about.
D
E
E
I've
given
my
city
council
member
notice
since
november
of
2020,
so
if
you
know
anybody
in
ward
13
that
you
would
like
on
this
committee,
please
send
it
to
christina
or
myself
and
we
will
forward
it
to
lennae
pomazero.
B
We
actually
have
a
lot
of
vacancies
right
now,
as
you
can
see,
and
I
just
sent
an
email
to
my
colleagues
in
who
work
with
a
variety
of
different,
diverse
communities
throughout
the
city,
letting
them
know
where
the
vacancies
are,
and
so
I
will
be
doing
a
robust
effort
and
anyone.
You
know
who
is
interested.
B
Please
share
my
contact
information
freely
and
I
will
have
a
conversation
with
folks
who
would
be
interested
to
participate
on
the
committee,
but
I
will
send
out
all
of
the
vacant
and
I'm
also
in
touch
with
the
council
members
to
let
them
know
that
they
do
not
have
currently
have
a
representative
on
this
committee.
So.
E
Minneapolis
linden
hills,
bolton
from
uptown
to
over
to
france
and
to
along
edina
on
france
until
I
think
54th
or
56th,
where
it
goes
into
armageddon.
E
B
Yep,
I
also
sent
out
a
notice
not
only
for
our
name,
our
department
newsletter,
but
also
for
the
neighborhood
organization's
newsletter,
so.
B
E
Well,
I
see,
I
see
a
meeting
is
the
last.
I
I
don't
have
a
question.
I
just
have
an
announcement.
If
anybody
is
interested
in
baseball
today
at
6
00
pm
on
fox
there,
there
is
a
very
unique
major
league
baseball
game
being
broadcast
from
dyersville
iowa.
I
I
Both
teams
are
wearing
vintage
uniforms
like
the
uniforms
from
the
film
and
the
baseball.
The
the
scoreboard.
I
I
I
Nobody
in
waverly
seems
to
remember
that,
with
the
exception
of
a
few
people,
I
was
11
years
old
when
it
happens,
but
the
unique
thing
that
happened
to
that
town
when,
when
I
was
11
years
old,
is
the
word
got
out
through
the
des
moines
register
and
the
lutheran
senate,
the
lutheran
city,
the
lutheran
missouri
synod
to
make
a
long
story
short
waverly
was
rewarded.
I
The
citizens
of
waverly
received
a
ten
thousand
dollar
grant
and
that
grant
was
designated
to
be
awarded
to
deserving
high
school
seniors
who
wanted
to
pursue
civil
rights
and
human
liberties.
Now
this
is
1955
before
the
voter
rights
act
and
hadn't
passed,
the
no
civil
liberties
legislation
had
passed.
I
So
I
was
invited
to
testify
and
they're
interested
in
the
family
of
captain
virgil
daniels,
who,
incidentally,
was
the
brother
of
billy
daniels,
the
famed
jazz
singer
and
the
family
moved
in
next
door
to
me
and
their
children
were
my
playmates
in
the
course
of
my
in
the
course
of
my
research.
I
I
I
found
out
that
the
ten
thousand
dollar
funds
were
awarded
to
four
separate
high
school
seniors,
but
that
stopped
in
1960
and
it
was
the
waverly
chamber
of
commerce
that
has
the
fiduciary
responsibility
and
the
oversight
for
the
ten
thousand
dollars.
How,
however,
the
ten
thousand
dollars
is
now
currently
unaccounted
for,
and
ten
thousand
dollars
in
a
bank
in
a
bank
or
an
account
that
was
there
from
1960
until
today
is
worth
a
lot
more
money
than
ten
thousand
dollars.
I
They
have
a
pretty
dismal
human
rights
record
in
that
small
town,
but
the
city
council
members
were
very
intrigued
about
where
the
ten
thousand
dollars
is,
and
I
received
a
call
from
the
local
newspaper.
So
that's
what
I
was
doing
in
the
middle
of
july
and
then
when
I
turned
around
and
left
waverly,
I
had
to
outrun
a
tornado
because
the
town
was
hit
by
a
tornado
on
the
next
day.
But
all
the
paperwork.
I
No,
no
but
I've.
I've
heard
I've
heard
that
from
the
look
several
local
banks
and
I've
stopped
doing
research.
Now
it's
up
to
the
city
council.
Now
they
get
to
do
the
research.
But
let
me
tell
you:
it
was
much
easier
making
my
report
to
them
then,
and
they
were
amazed
that
at
the
amount
of
research
that
I
that
I
had
put
into
it
was
a
13-page
document
and
I
pray.
I
praise
them
for
being
volunteers,
because
you
know
the
the
commission
is
all
volunteer.
I
With
the
exception
of
somebody
on
the
city,
council
and
the
story,
it
was
a
lot
of
fun,
but
I
I
still
there
still
hasn't
been
a
newspaper
article.
I'm
still
waiting
to
hear
what
the
city
council
is
doing
with
the
information.
But
does
anybody
remember
billy
daniels
that
old
black
magic,
oh
yeah,
yeah?
So
that
was
that
that's
who
the
that's
who
the
daniel
family
was,
and
he
was
a
tuskegee
airman.
I
mean
you
know
he
was
treated
very
badly.
E
I
B
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that.
Are
there
any
other
announcements
there's
nothing
wrong
with
ending
a
meeting
early,
nothing.
D
Else,
but
on
the
housing
thing
is
still
a
bust,
but
I
did
get
and
I
keep
forgetting
to
email
it
to
you.
Come
christina.
Look
everybody
else.
There
is
a
resource,
a
senior
resource
to
have
a
lot
of
good
information
in
it.
It's
about
a
44
page
thing,
so
they
sent
me
a
hard
copy,
but
I
also
got
it
on
an
email
so
I'll
give
it
to
christina.
D
So
she
can
mail
it
out
to
you
guys,
but
but
the
lady,
jean,
I
think,
is
jean
heyer
that
I
got
it
from,
but
anyway
she
said
some
of
the
numbers
might
be
old,
so
you
got
to
check
on
some
of
the
numbers
because
they
hadn't
been
updated,
but.
G
D
B
Anyone
else
I
did
not
hear
back
from
lisa
smeested,
who
hopefully
is
able
to
share
some
information
on
where
those
dollars
that
we
were
mentioned
by
renee
and
jeddah
from
the
federal
funding
wins
as
far
as
housing
and
home
repair.
So,
hopefully,
we'll
get
her
to
participate,
and
another
thing
that
we
had
talked
about
that
hasn't
been
established.
Yet
is
our
bylaws
and
are
our.
E
B
F
D
B
You
know
they're,
you
can
do
bylaws
when
they
when
it
when
it
needs
to
happen
right,
and
we
definitely
have
had
a
huge
change,
especially
now
with
the
pandemic
and
things
going
virtual
stuff,
like
that,
I
had
a
situation
today
about
a
committee
member
who
did
not
hasn't
been
participating
and
trying
to
get
that
person
removed
due
to
the
attendance-
and
I
didn't
quite
understand
if
it
was
my
bylaws
that
prevented
me
from
removing
that
person
or
if
it's
a
sweeping
thing
across
all
boards
and
commissions,
that
the
only
way
to
remove
that
person
would
be
going
through
a
full
council
rigamarole,
which
seems
not
a
good
use
of
anybody's
time
right,
including
council.
B
So
so
you
know
just
looking
at
things
like
that.
Also,
I
remember
that
in
looking
at
the
bylaws
there
were
a
lot
of
things
that
weren't
clear.
So
maybe
what
I
can
do
is
send
out
a
draft,
because
I
know
where
the
clarifications
were
pointed
out
and
a
lot
of
it
had
to
do
with
terms
and
stuff
like
that.
B
B
And
if
anybody
else
has
agenda
items,
just
please
let
me
know
angelique
is
our
now
interim
chair
welcome
angelique.
Thank
you.
H
I
guess
I
would
like
to
share
that
I'll
be
joining
the
minnesota
gerontology
research
committee.
I
was
encouraged
to
apply
for
that.
So
I'll
have
my
first
meeting
with
that
committee
this
month
and
just
hoping
to
you
know
bring
committees
together
and
sharing
information
and
just
again
like
breaking
down
the
silos.
H
Yes,
this
would
be
my
first
experience
really
in
that
in
this
realm
of
being
with
a
lot
of
students
and
educators.
Just
a
you
know,
regular
gal
from
the
north
side
here
so
we'll
see
how
this
goes.
E
I
Christina,
are
you
taking
nominations
for
people
for
the
13th
ward,
or
do
you
have
a
lot
of
people
good.
B
I
And
do
you
say,
do
you
anticipate
anything
changing
that
after
the
election
in
terms
of
the
structure
of
the
committee
or
not
these.
B
I
So
I
know
somebody
that's
a
retired
hennepin
county
pediatric
physician
in
the
13th
ward,
and
you
know
she
may
have
time
to
do
it.
I
I've
asked
her
before,
but
it's
I
know
for
sure,
she's
in
the
13th
ward.
I.
B
B
Sure
she
could
do
that
now.
I
can
answer
any
questions.
She
would
have
send
her
the
application,
etc.
B
B
Yep,
it
should
I'll
have
to
look
at
that,
because
now
we
officially
received
ron
jenkins
resignation,
so
I
will
definitely
have
to
look
at
that
right.
I
know
ron
hasn't
been
able
to
attend
in
over
a
year
and
that
again
is
the
issue
of
I
couldn't
reply.
I
couldn't
you
know,
I
mean
it
was
just
a
thing.
H
You
know
it
just
popped
in
my
head
and
I
know
we
probably
want
to
go,
but
this
just
occurred
to
me
so
really
the
the
feedback
that
we
got
or
the
response
that
we
received
from
the
senior
linkage
line
is
we
could
either
support
through
being
a
part
of
a
focus
group
that
we
don't
know
when
that's
going
to
occur.
H
You
know
when
how
we
would
be
invited
to
that
or
we
could
write
a
letter
to
our
elected
officials.
What
do
you
all
think
about
writing
a
letter?
Do
you
think
recommending?
Is
it
something
or
maybe
we
can
table
that
conversation?
We
have
maybe
eight
minutes
left,
but
is
that
something
that
would
be
impactful
or
you
know
what
you
know?
Otherwise,
I
don't
know.
What
do
you
think?
H
D
B
Staff,
or,
and
and
or
like
yes,
and
upgrade
on
their
technology,
to
be
able
to
send
text
messages
or
to
have
a
call
back.
You
know
like
sign
up
for
a
callback,
number,
etc,
etc.
Regardless
of
what
your
need
is
and-
and
I
feel
like
it
could
be.
B
An
all-encompassing
letter
to
both
both
bobachar
and
smith's
office,
as
well
as
the
board
on
aging
melinda,
had
shared
some
very
interesting
information
on
the
board
on
aging
and
and
their
authority
over
the
linkage
line
and
stuff
like
that,
and
some
challenges
due
to
some
restructuring
that
the
board
has
decided
to
go
through.
So.
F
I
Can
we
even
I
hate
to
bring
this
up,
but
in
terms
of
our
our
jurisdiction
and
our
ability
to
actually
communicate
outside
of
our
immediate?
You
know
advisory
capacity
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
Can
we
in
fact
communicate
as
a
body
to
other
elected
public
officials.
B
I
will
confirm
that
we
can,
but
I
don't
believe
it
would
be
an
issue
because
we've
already
done
that
in
collaboration
with
community,
when
we
were
lobbying
hennepin
county
to
not
remove
funding
from
our
our
black
nurse
programs.
B
I
If
I
don't
know,
if
you're
gonna
do
a
draft
letter,
I
I
would
point
out
one
really
salient
piece
of
information
that
came
out
in
the
last
month,
and
that
is
the
projected
population
in
the
twin
cities.
That's
just
in
the
twin
cities
by
2040
is
it's
going
to
be
major
shifts
from
it's
going
to
be
an
aging
population
and
also
a
bipolar,
not
bipolar?
I
H
So
this
is
something
maybe
we
can
continue
the
conversation
with
in
our
next
meeting.
Once
we
have
melinda's
input
as
well,
is
that.
B
Yes,
I
think
that
would
probably
be
helpful,
because
melinda
has
some
insight
and
it
may
influence
what
how
we
communicate
with
the
board
on
eugene.
Does
that
make
sense,
yeah.
B
B
Yeah
I'll
be
excited
to
have
you
report
more
to
angelique,
with
your
experience
on
the
research
committee
you're
participating
on,
I
love
stats
and
data
and
research.
B
All
right,
well,
I
think,
go
ahead,
go
ahead
and
I'm
sorry.
H
No,
I
was
saying
alrighty
then
sounds
like
we
were
wrapping
it
up
here.
Bye,
ernie,
ernie,
I'm
you
know,
I'm
mute,
sir
bye.
