Johnsburg forms standing senior committee and approves nomination for Senior Day grant
Summary
The board formalized a standing Senior Committee, listed members and approved submitting a grant nomination for a Senior Day community event, referencing the Adirondack Foundation 'Kindling' awards as a potential $1,000 funding source.
The board established a standing Senior Committee and read the list of members into the record; the committee's first formal meeting was scheduled for Jan. 8 at 10 a.m. Arnold Stevens introduced the resolution to formalize the committee and named the members the board approved.
Art Webb (speaker labeled 9) described the idea of a Senior Day and identified the Adirondack Foundation Kindling Awards as a potential source of up to $1,000 for community initiatives. "So Kindling, allows it up 1000 dollars for an organization to do something kinda unique in their community," Webb said while describing the grant program and how the senior committee could coordinate organizations and outreach.
The board voted to move the committee resolution and approved submitting the nomination for funding. Pete was identified as the town contact for organizing the event and coordinating partners and the committee will use the town’s long‑range planning process to align senior needs with county initiatives.
