Nominating Committee: The board is presently full, and no new members are needed. Bylaws and Policies Committee: Robert commended the committee for their recent work.

John is meeting with him again to go over a few questions. John is confident they are getting closer to a finalized plan. • Kitchen staff update: The pay increase has significantly improved the hiring of new staff members in the kitchen and the driving routes. • Meals on Wheels update (shelf stable meals): the shelf stable meals and the frozen meals are not options for the kitchen to use. The kitchen could make their own meals and freeze them but that's also not a solution. Due to the COVID mandate finally being over the previous approval processes for Meals on Wheels are now in place. Robin has a waitlist of seniors awaiting approval. New Business • Eckstein Grants: The Senior Center received two grant donations from the Eckstein Family Charitable Foundation. This was unexpected and very exciting.

The board discussed using some of the Eckstein grant money to purchase a new oven that can be transported to the new facility when the time comes.
