The center’s third annual car-and-motorcycle show ran despite poor weather and organizers said sponsorships and local business partnerships were positive. Staff are holding a post-event review to capture lessons for next year.

Baxter Curran’s leaders outlined recurring activities including painting classes, “Far” (a dice game) on Wednesday evenings, line dancing, pool tournaments and walks. Two multi-day trips were promoted: a seven-day Mount Rushmore trip (priced at $839 per person, double occupancy) and an 11-day Mackinac Island trip later in the year (priced at $1,515). Organizers said sign-up deadlines are approaching for Mount Rushmore.

The center is also planning a June murder-mystery dinner (ticketed, $15 per plate) and other social fundraising events. Leaders described the programming as a mix of volunteer-run and staff-supported activities and asked committee members to help promote trips and events; no formal action was taken by the committee.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Clovis - Senior Services Committee - Apr 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Baxter Curran reported a successful car-and-motorcycle show, continuing weekly programming, two upcoming multi-day trips and a June murder-mystery fundraiser.","taxTitle","Clovis, Curry County, New Mexico","taxId",52795,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6583457,"Clovis volunteer programs report: 72 RSVP volunteers, foster grandparents and senior companions supporting seniors",688,2564000,3252000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3113401-9e2f516b8b5a1fbb80b5a86819e7e2c0&start=2564&end=3252","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3113401-9e2f516b8b5a1fbb80b5a86819e7e2c0/thumbnail_2564000.jpg","/articles/6583457/Clovis/Curry-County/New-Mexico/Clovis-volunteer-programs-report-72-RSVP-volunteers-foster-grandparents-and-senior-companions-supporting-seniors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583457-2b747ff205013f30f447599a88f01381/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138143&Signature=TESwsHyH-n2yxPLDSysa-HQSiXIUNIUuG7wHEl2LZMArl8dI16Cje~qs495-G-lJz9f7evo1E91Z4ATxKQbA-rkmsSNuzJd7uLJPyNy4crbN8e7GBpA-KvmyPlxjgvxMrQQGghKaShq9AzpgrFGSUXvVQFh058ftkmDtgmPhtzg8TgfOMcIdctUj43rE0ZGp0hV3t-43Q8yKLD055kBvYPWJAMatpyVetTNARfsPG7cSbLrQWf2ubTWQWygQcll1w1mwLSM6vQWUmiffbBtwabWSHfixE-hY5Oa2xAtY-cwlqDZsHirYOV9RBCrAWlvkI~8LJ2eAqOtiKs8qAqk0Cg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City volunteers and volunteer programs were the focus of a large portion of the Senior Services Committee meeting, with staff describing outreach, service hours and several new and continuing activities.

Diana (last name not specified) reported that RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) currently has 72 volunteers who logged 1,269 hours in the reporting month. Staff also said foster-grandparent and senior-companion programs are active: 14 foster grandparents completed recent on-site visits in classrooms and 15 senior companions were serving in 22 homes providing companionship and transport for errands and medical appointments.

Shelley Wynne reported on the AARP tax-assistance effort: the program prepared 1,833 tax returns this season, producing refunds totaling $1,778,353. Organizers noted many returns served older adults and nursing-home residents and that volunteers provided the service free to clients.

RSVP volunteers also contributed to community projects: crocheters and knitters donated lap blankets and hats to shelters and other local agencies; volunteers will help staff an upcoming county conference by assembling 600–700 information bags; and volunteers are partnering on a community garden expected to begin producing by June. Staff said recruitment and pre-service training are planned for May to expand volunteer capacity.

Committee members thanked volunteers and noted the programs are a major source of community service; no formal committee action was taken.","Senior volunteer programs reported 72 RSVP volunteers logging 1,269 hours in the month, 14 foster grandparents and 15 senior companions active, and AARP tax-assistance volunteers filing 1,833 returns with $1.78 million in refunds.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6583463,"Clovis meal program served thousands; staff report delivery drivers hired and rising participation",144,974000,1118000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3113401-9e2f516b8b5a1fbb80b5a86819e7e2c0&start=974&end=1118","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3113401-9e2f516b8b5a1fbb80b5a86819e7e2c0/thumbnail_974000.jpg","/articles/6583463/Clovis/Curry-County/New-Mexico/Clovis-meal-program-served-thousands-staff-report-delivery-drivers-hired-and-rising-participation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583463-5935ae69b226d72ff59348646e4f7483/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138143&Signature=gFcA6KxJYupwcLago3vwK-TfPd3kLZ5B4c5XSE3JrebLhqO5TJT2zQnrjGBXfKZDpEV5AD9E1pYovnk60n28iXu5qNM8AiaeQNBoCc~91BuJ3pNtXecUouu-2a9sY9iqf-pVTaPhPTtPBPAXNX2hCEg99qQgguSYPmi4EZwLBWPkIazgMKxuVdJEqXcO7C3BmSEsYMokk8x1mQgBEN82Ev7GH9S1KHpQN4y-XseXz9ndB3l~Q-ENQotEPfo2j0MwxHmO4QSYrJOHp9akEy0Iq1MG1yYOL5F-NXPE2EPJSnMhOiG2UTF0s7T9er5lQ~QS0QzlcVp-UraoR6Wq58KDrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Senior Services Committee that the Hillcrest meal program has grown since it began in December, with total meals and participants rising.

Barbara Reagan reported the program has served 4,688 total meals last month across congregate and home-delivered services. Since the program’s start in December the committee heard that 434 distinct seniors have used congregate services; last month alone 282 seniors used the congregate meal site. Reagan said about 90 homebound seniors continue to receive meals on a steady basis.

The committee also heard that drivers proved difficult to hire early in the program but that three drivers have now been hired and will begin learning routes in the coming week. Reagan said staff continue to evaluate and optimize routes after the move from the old senior center to Hillcrest.

On donations and finances, staff reported typical daily donations range from about $250 to $300 and that the non metro area agency on aging is working on next year’s budget. For meals, the center serves lunch 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; suggested donation for those 60 and older is $4, and a flat cost of $8 applies for those under 60.

Committee members asked for and received counts of meals and participants; no formal policy changes were taken.","Senior Services reported 4,688 total meals served last month, growth in congregate attendance and three new drivers hired for the meal-delivery (MILL) program.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6583467,"Clovis advances Hillcrest Senior Life Center projects and launches senior support volunteer program",3372,283000,3655000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3113401-9e2f516b8b5a1fbb80b5a86819e7e2c0&start=283&end=3655","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3113401-9e2f516b8b5a1fbb80b5a86819e7e2c0/thumbnail_283000.jpg","/articles/6583467/Clovis/Curry-County/New-Mexico/Clovis-advances-Hillcrest-Senior-Life-Center-projects-and-launches-senior-support-volunteer-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583467-9bc7a817eaa104790d191da7f51951b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138143&Signature=d3GmW5liirOqVGv9dFq2EPMAPXyvqZZ1X2p3~nPNMyposY-lIYSD~zP6zDhYnccZIiZ3NcminoocKbN-EJ6VrqxyHWabREIkPJ8ORY-tmCNl9OiPFLpw~zs0in2gM4Wgi2dZUgjeonZ28qlitOPUVvjfesXdQonqZXj7wz1-jaFOOAjPKa3i5jo-dkTRG~3CpD4UgZXHA0Dk59oq~EJlZ4aj~hzEWKVjgO3C5137DXS8n6lYdJmtUndpEx67pyzOaBKg~HTTVqFZ4TQtz6xfYtmiCZCrL8mtUxawGZxcLlAAL~OYwwEREfhVnhXU3xI7wdxi9kmEaWDJK1-dYpUqIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clovis Senior Services Committee heard updates on planned capital improvements to the Hillcrest Senior Life Center and approved a new Senior Support Volunteer program to increase safety and floor coverage at the center.

The Hillcrest items remain on the city’s Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP), including a parking-lot project, a covered patio and a phase 2 plan-and-design request that staff said carries a $905,000 design estimate. Barbara Reagan, who presented the report, said the city has been awarded some vehicles and project funding but has not yet received the corresponding grant agreements. \"The city of Clovis and really our community, runs on volunteerism,\" Mayor Morris said when recognizing committee members and volunteers.

Reagan told the committee that the parking-lot and covered-patio requests are part of a larger state capital-outlay request administered through Aging and Long Term Services; the city is waiting for bond sales and for the Legislature’s allocation timelines, which could push grant execution into next year. Committee members said Hillcrest is at or near daily capacity and that the lack of parking is a pressing operational constraint; Reagan said the projects have been approved but are waiting on state funding to be released.

Separately, staff described a new Senior Support Volunteer program for Hillcrest. Volunteers will carry two-way radios while on the floor to summon staff in the event of spills, falls, suspicious persons or other incidents, and will receive training on first aid, the center’s emergency action plan and food-safety protocols. Reagan announced volunteer training scheduled for May 5, an introductory session in early May, and a May 19 session on food safety with Summit Food Services, the center’s meal contractor.

The committee also heard that the center’s one-year anniversary open house is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, beginning at 10 a.m., with vendors, tours and a noon food service. Mayor Morris asked staff to continue pursuing state capital-outlay funding and to report back; no formal action was taken at the meeting.

Looking ahead, the Senior Services Committee’s next scheduled meeting is July 10 at 1:30 p.m.","City staff reported progress on Hillcrest Senior Life Center capital projects, said some grants are awarded but agreements are pending, and announced a new Senior Support Volunteer program with training in early May.","actionData","errors"]
