Around a conference table in a small Massachusetts town, the Council on Aging gathers to tackle pressing questions about their community's senior services. With $20,000 in year-end budget funds about to expire and another $120,000 allocated for renovations, the stakes are surprisingly high for this seemingly ordinary meeting.

The conversation quickly reveals the council's dedication to improving the senior center experience. Bathroom renovations are progressing nicely—walls framed, inspections completed—but their vision extends much further. Should they upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting that would make the space "like somebody opened the window to the sun"? Replace the 25-year-old carpet showing visible wear? Or perhaps install a generator that could transform the center into an emergency shelter during power outages?

Between budget discussions, the meeting takes a sobering turn toward senior safety. A local resident nearly lost $20,000 to scammers claiming her computer had a virus, saved only by family intervention at the last moment. Council members share personal stories of near-misses with sophisticated scams targeting seniors, highlighting the critical need for ongoing education and awareness.

Despite temporary relocation during renovations (complete with complaints about potholes in the parking area), the council remains focused on summer programming. From Narcan training sessions to ice cream socials with the newly renamed Bristol Aging and Wellness Network (formerly Bristol Elder Services), they're creating meaningful engagement opportunities while navigating the challenges of aging facilities and limited resources.

The meeting offers a window into the often-overlooked work of small-town volunteers who advocate for senior citizens. Their conversations blend practical facility management with genuine concern for the social, educational, and safety needs of older adults—revealing the complex, vital role these councils play in supporting our aging population.

Speaker 1:

June 3rd meeting of the Consul on Aging at exactly 934. Yep, alright, that's it. Alright, february 4th, take a peek, that's in there.

Speaker 2:

We need to take some orders for for plates and all that stuff. We have extra money, so we'll be posting that order.

Speaker 3:

I bought some of those China-based leg holes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And if you like them, you can order what you're wanting. Okay, it would be a great thing, they don't?

Speaker 2:

collapse on you. I like that yeah so we're going wear the plates and stuff, we'll buy heftier ones. Plates, I guess, yeah, we'll stock up on like the pantry stuff, the ink, the paper.

Speaker 3:

What cards? Cards we need cards. We've been playing with the same cards for over a year. I think we have some new ones over the last one. Ok, anything else for card games or it's been so long since we just used these and these things are fine, but I don't know what's inside. Those still get used very often.

Speaker 1:

The cards I know are sticking together.

Speaker 3:

We have our own decks now that we bring, because sometimes we can't find any decent cards. They get so hard to play we just kind of throw them in. Yeah, I'll buy some more for the couple.

Speaker 2:

I think I bought other ones for you guys too, Really, Because I bring there's like a special one, I think.

Speaker 3:

I forget what it's called. That might be the kind that we bought. Laura had brought some of her own and I liked them, and when she left early then we had to go back to the old one. So I bought some decks too and I just played with 45. It's a regular deck, but it there was a tad bigger, I think, than the regular deck, but they're brand new because we've been just using them for us, or just the printing?

Speaker 3:

the card looks bigger the printing isn't bigger, but the card. In my head it seems a little bit longer. We have the jungle, but then I bought these other ones that just have, like the a with the dynamo up there, the deck, the regular sized decks are fine as far as that goes, but the decks that we bought seem to be a tad long higher.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I'll you know you play with them.

Speaker 3:

so yeah, Charlotte's getting her.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, when I come this afternoon I'll have some.

Speaker 3:

Now I can order a couple, okay, because there's two in a pack.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'll order a couple.

Speaker 1:

Okay, because there's two in a pack. Yeah, yeah, what's the uh?

Speaker 2:

1100 dollars in massachusetts, oh yeah, so that's for um the state. Yeah, the parent dues.

Speaker 3:

It's like a membership, the winners, that money go.

Speaker 1:

Wow dollars to X of us.

Speaker 2:

That's my senior center. For the whole system, is that a once a year? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

As well as the dues Once year end of the year. Yeah, so we still have the wish list and the cumbering funds. This is the last month of the year. The last month, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So we have quite a bit left. We have a lot in our renovation budget because we haven't really used it, because right now we're using the other money for the bathrooms and stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

Is that included in this 32? No, okay, right, oh the renovation, not the renovation budget.

Speaker 2:

Okay, the renovation budget.

Speaker 1:

Well, you have to cover that because.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's not in here. That's a whole separate thing. How much do you think we're going to have left For the year? Just a guess on that.

Speaker 1:

What other else is on the wish list? Yeah, not left. Probably not like 20 left. You've got to encumber money. By what date?

Speaker 3:

So we're probably at like 20. I'm going to need money for Oz and for those wrappers, so we're probably at like 20 or so you can find Ozans for those wrappers. Excuse me, things that don't come under construction Towels, towels, yeah, and Bibles yeah, that'll cost something. Yeah, I can talk to Alan this week.

Speaker 2:

There's another thing on here too about lights to change all the lights, stuff like the led, you know like changing and stuff. So that's further down which I have to talk to alan and see what we want to spend for fixtures and stuff right type into that. I can use that and changing the lights.

Speaker 1:

Is that for the area that's been, uh, done, or the whole place? Uh, we're doing the whole place. Remember he says me right this overall $500,000, or whatever it turned out to be we're going to have. Remember he says about $100,000?. Is that the right number? There's a large amount that's left over that we're not using. I would say it's like $120,000. $120,000?.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, I think it's around that, so I know Greg wanted to look next at the lights, make them all the LED. And then he wanted to look at the. Well, we're gonna look at this with the carpet, which wasn't in the original, but you can't match it. And it's yeah, it's on your face, it's 20 years old. So the carpet, the lights, and then the heating and the AC system. Carpet's 25 years old, yeah, and it's 20 years old. So the carpet, the lights, and then the heating and the AC system.

Speaker 1:

The carpet's 25 years old.

Speaker 2:

So those are kind of on-touch items of what to use that other money for. So if you guys have any opinions on what you guys think, that's needed, or I don't have any idea what they cost.

Speaker 1:

if you recall some of the uh or at least I remember it was lakeville or a sonic they had bought a unit. It was a building like a room that they put on the side into the building and they cut a door in it and they had another room for activities. I have no idea what that cost. I mean it'd be more than 120 000, I don't.

Speaker 1:

I don't think so, but yeah, it might be something that we look at after we get through all this here. See what the final number is that we have left yes look and see what we want to do, and look and see what we want to do. That's a possibility.

Speaker 3:

This might be a time to think about a generator too, if you wanted to generate. You want to be a number of businesses.

Speaker 1:

That's an excellent idea. I've been talking about that.

Speaker 3:

It might take a long time. It's expensive. We have the money now.

Speaker 1:

That might be something Well out of that 20 grand left over, that goes back to the town.

Speaker 3:

It's not spent. Yes, well, I don't know. My house place put a place this side for a house they're about 15, 15 grand.

Speaker 1:

Let me tell you, before I left the food pantry, I put the proposal together for the generator for that building and I think it was fourteen thousand dollars and that included, uh, you know, the equipment and the electricians to hook it up. Right, that was what about five years ago. Uh, yeah, young electric is what we did it with over there.

Speaker 3:

Young Electric is who we did it with over there. Excuse me, if you want to give them a call, yeah, I'll give you their name too, because we looked into it for our house.

Speaker 1:

We really didn't want to spend $15,000.

Speaker 3:

But, as you said, that would qualify us for being an emergency center.

Speaker 1:

Yeah and it would also be good just to keep the lights on. Yeah, and what's good about it about it? Fortunately, over at the food pantry also is there's gas on the street, so nobody has to go out with a gallon of gasoline. It's fed by natural gas. It will go on automatically when the power goes off, as opposed to some of the homes. It's gas generated and somebody's got to start it up. You may have to fill the tank with gas, but this will be automatic. That's the way it is over. There's gas on this street. I know this guy's son street is because they cook across the street.

Speaker 3:

Oh right, okay, and we pay to think for it. Yes, that's right, we pay to think for it. We have a meter, we don't need gas.

Speaker 1:

But that's a good time to bring that up. I feel bad. We didn't think of it a month earlier or so because it might be tight, but any time. No, that's the fun, I said the electric company was yeah yeah, thank you. They'll give you a quote pretty quick. It was a general act. It's over there. Okay, that's good. Other than things we already talked about, anything special come up in expenses this month.

Speaker 2:

No, no. So we'll use some of the money on extra fixtures and things that we need before we get it done.

Speaker 1:

Changing the lights is a big deal. I was at one of the production areas that I ran and we had all the fluorescent lights in there and we went to and changed everything. It was like somebody opened the window to the sun. It was unbelievable what a difference it made. Okay, any uh questions on the uh hearing, none I will entertain. A motion to accept the treasurer's report is okay, discussion hearing.

Speaker 2:

None all in favor, aye, aye, okay, director's report. Let's see what she's got to say. All right, so we're hoping that there is. Our negotiations are done by end of june. Um, that's what the contract has been said, since it's in the contract, so they're looking to hopefully begin in June. And then some upcoming events we have. Today we have a luncheon with Lindsay, the public health, max and the fire department. They're doing like a Narcan learning and training luncheon. If you wanna know about the Narcan for the overdosing, that's at 11.30. June 11th we have another presentation with Collect Travel. We have a couple trips. June 18th we have Bristol Aging and Wellness coming. They were formerly Bristol Elder Services. They changed their name. That's all they have. We bring in Ice Cream Social and then talk about their programs such as the Meals on Wheels, the home care, um, what else they have going on?

Speaker 2:

so they'll be here, yes and then bristol aging and wellness. Now, well, you know, we decided to that.

Speaker 3:

Are you old age, are you elder? Yeah, elder sounds terrible. Yeah, that elder does. Old age sounds better, it does. A lot of people are trying to change the names.

Speaker 2:

You go to the senior centers to get things.

Speaker 1:

It's incredible the stuff we worry about With all the problems in the world.

Speaker 2:

But if people are wondering, it's the same program we're still aging. But if people are wondering, it's the same company, the same program Bristol Elder Services but it's Bristol Aging and Wellness Network. So July we're hoping to get our movies and breakfast back. To start our first breakfast back, we're going to have a waffle bar sponsored by All-American Assisted Living and, yeah, no pancakes that one and then, um, they have the records.

Speaker 2:

Also, they have bristol county um district attorney, tom clinton, here to help with elder abuse prevention. Yeah, yeah, and they get the fraud um scams and they get the fraud scams.

Speaker 3:

Did you hear what just happened? They saved $20,000. That was incredible. Oh, she was being scammed.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, she was at the bank.

Speaker 3:

She was already ready to send the money to them when her family caught up.

Speaker 2:

She was going to Colletti's right. Yeah, she was at.

Speaker 3:

Colletti. Yeah, I guess how did it start. Her family called the police in Lakeville because they suspected somebody was trying to scam her and the people wanted $20,000. And I forget what the reason was. Oh, her computer had a scammer. Yeah, that's a good question. That's how it sounds.

Speaker 1:

It's not a phone call. They called her.

Speaker 3:

They called her and said her computer had a virus. Yeah, I never want to fix it, but she had to bring $20,000 and not to call her family or tell them.

Speaker 1:

Ding ding, ding ding ding.

Speaker 3:

That doesn't work, I know some people are stupid when it comes to that. And a computer you can buy how many computers for $20,000 a month.

Speaker 1:

It's being naive. I don't know if stupid is the right term.

Speaker 3:

I remember a number of years.

Speaker 1:

back in town one of the police chiefs back telling me about a woman who came into the police station here in Right Ham saying that she had been taken for $2,500. They called her on the phone and we talk about naive. They got her to stay on the phone while she drove to Walmart and bought a gift card, to get a master card and read them their numbers. Then she went to Target or some other and did the same thing Up to $2,500. After she did it it she went into the police station and said I think I've been had nothing to do at that point they're out there talks was that every year we do a couple our age group, our demographics, is a prime conference.

Speaker 1:

We're the prime thing, we're the prime topics. I've had them call my mother saying that it was my oldest son, her grandson, who was in jail in North Carolina and she needed to send $500 to get him out of jail.

Speaker 2:

Well, I had one.

Speaker 1:

It was an email from Best Buy. It looked absolutely crazy. It was saying I was owed a refund, all this number. So I called and then I realized wait a minute, this has gone too far, it was a scam. But I had to change my bank numbers and all I got pretty far into it because they hooked me emotionally.

Speaker 1:

I was so pissed off about the whole thing. That was okay, we'll help you. Blah, blah, blah. And when they ask you questions, even if it's something that's you know common never say yes, never say the word yes, because they record that and they use it as a yes on something else. But anyway, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so that one, and then what else? July 22nd we're going to have our annual summer cookout with the fire department. They'll be cooking hamburgers and cheeseburgers for us and we'll have music that day with light piggies. Also in July we're going to bring back the monthly lunches On Tuesdays. The first Tuesday of the month we're going to start July 1st with chicken pot pie and August 5th with American Chops Zoo. We do limit those lunches to 20 people. Laurie is going to be doing rock painting classes July and August, so we have those dates in there, Not this one, not Laurie.

Speaker 1:

Not this one. Yeah, it was so much fun.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you have to try it. It was so much fun, yeah, so have to try.

Speaker 2:

It was so much fun, yeah, so she was going to do those.

Speaker 1:

Tough, tough bodies. Well, you got your own rocks.

Speaker 2:

We have. Thanks to Cheryl, we have rocks. Thanks to Cheryl we have rocks and we're hoping. We were hoping for Bocce to start today or yesterday, actually at 10. Courts have now been weeded. I'm sure you guys see that. I looked at it.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure, yeah, so I talked to him again last week and I'm going to really try for this fall and Monday.

Speaker 3:

So hopefully this Monday coming up we'll have B.

Speaker 1:

I still think we should think about.

Speaker 3:

Ucran like the library, because this is ridiculous. If you can't do it, it's a budget goal. That's a problem, because we don't have it yet, you can't go out there and play it.

Speaker 2:

Maybe I can use some of the extra money in my budget and get new projects for a long time.

Speaker 3:

Wow, Well, you could. But they can get on your list if they don't cut our loans Right.

Speaker 2:

Okay, that's it Okay, can I?

Speaker 3:

ask one thing what stage are they at with the bathrooms? I can't see them. What have they done so far? So, the walls are up.

Speaker 2:

Well, the framing of the walls.

Speaker 1:

So, they put the drywall in this week.

Speaker 2:

They were waiting for the plumbing, electrical and building inspection and I guess yesterday the building one signed off. It was the last one to sign off after the plumbing and electrical and building inspection and I guess yesterday the building one signed off. He's the last one to sign off after the plumbing and electrical, so all of them are signed off. So hopefully they're here this week.

Speaker 3:

Actually they're at the floor. The floor, I assume, is in because of the concrete. The concrete's in, but not the flooring.

Speaker 1:

Yes. Reason because the concrete, concrete, yes, okay. Motion to accept the director's report. Sign your second. Any further discussion. Hearing none all in favor. Hearing none all in favor. Aye, correspondents, aye.

Change that, don't worry about it. They don't have to change it. They're in again, are they? Well, buggers are wondering.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 3:

We're going to go back to the highway department. Yeah, I'm asking if they back just a second here. Where's the highway?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I asked you if they could fill in some of these potholes in this road so that you don't go out here.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's so bad, it's terrible yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all of this is stone they must have stone?

Speaker 2:

We're just finishing up. Oh okay, come in. You can come in and listen, chelsea, baby yeah.

Speaker 3:

There's a bunch of those over there, yeah, countless. Oh, oh, oh. No, lady, I don't know who she was. All right, stop stealing, stop stealing.

Speaker 1:

Huh, why are you taking my favorites? I love this. I don't know this. I wasn't at town meeting. I'm assuming I got it in the online account. Yeah, did I know that? Yeah, I think everything passed at town meeting. Yeah, other than wasn't that one they took off.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, the night chicken open night.

Speaker 1:

Everything was there, yeah other than wasn't that one? They took off a lot of questions long.

Speaker 3:

There was one gentleman should have spent that last week before the meeting looking up things in the bylaws.

Speaker 1:

Wow, okay, are you finished reviewing? Okay, uh, I'll make the motion to accept the uh minutes. Any discussion changes all in favor. Okay, old business renovation update. I've done it already but nonetheless, as she said, all these studs are up and so forth. It's all wide open. On the subject of renovation maybe we should come under new business, but do we have some kind of ribbon-cutting ceremony First person to use the bathroom. Do we have some kind of ribbon-cutting ceremony or something?

Speaker 3:

Really Sure First person to use the bathroom. Can I go to the bathroom Because you laid the toilet paper? There you go. That would be appropriate.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, Eh, for good use? Seriously, no, maybe some kind of little. You know coffee and cookies or something, but the regular have to remember this time because I don't even know that rather very disappointed. We didn't I tell her when we did the dedication of the plaque. So what we're going to call Pat, if we do a ribbon cutting ceremony, I think she's the only one that's available during the day. If you have a word.

Speaker 3:

I don't think we need a ribbon, but I think coffee and pretty serious.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, I need to try to get an eight. Probably maybe an eight.

Speaker 1:

No, we can be after somebody's used the bathroom.

Speaker 3:

Well, well we can pass on that. Okay, all right. All right, I think we can pass on that All right.

Speaker 2:

Somebody's used to that, well, well renovate a reorganization that we did that just because wasn't here. But she's still not here, so I don't know. I don't assume she'll take it out. Yeah, so that was going to be like she was vice chair, right?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so to me there's nothing to do unless I don't show up, right yeah?

Speaker 3:

I'm not sure that she would be in the morning too, yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's the only reason I put the water on. I can put it back on in September If I would know her.

Speaker 3:

I can talk to her outside of the meeting.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. So, that was the only reason why.

Speaker 1:

Did all of you get an email from Debbie who? Debbie at the town hall.

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

I got an email that had a list of all the different appointed positions in town. We were on it as well at least I was and who else I think you might have been on it they wanted to know if we still wanted to be in that position. I had this and I had the Law of Appeals and the SAVE program going on, but I wanted to stay on it. I asked a guest back to her. You guys didn't get it.

Speaker 2:

No, there's a few of you that are up this journey.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what I was surprised is that mine was like I thought that was next year that it came up, that was a good one.

Speaker 3:

I just came across my paperwork, and this is the reason you're here.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember. I think so, but I haven't heard from her. Yeah, I think you're up this year.

Speaker 3:

I think so when?

Speaker 2:

is she Pat Sharon John? I think it's been a day.

Speaker 1:

No, I should have called her but I didn't. But here it is Annual appointments. Let me read you her email first. Dear commission members, kindly take a look at the attached list and let me know if these members wish to be reappointed. Thank you, debbie.

Speaker 2:

Maybe she only sent it to you because you're the chair do you have them listed on? There I have myself for a board of appeals.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm sorry. No, that's great, that's great. What's that Council on the Asian Carol Cheryl Peggy? Yeah, that wasn't on there. What I don't understand is, I guess the date is there must be what the appointment is until, like it's 2028 for those, for the three, the Carol Sherwin baby sounds like she always think it to you.

Speaker 1:

My answer to it was yes. I wanted to continue. I should have called her. Things get hectic in my house these days, but anyway. The other one was where is it Save committee? That was myself, jessica Aaron and AJ Andrews. Who's?

Speaker 2:

Jessica? She is Jessica Thomas. Yeah, the collective treass. Who's Jessica? She is Jessica Thomas. Yeah, the collector treasurer. What's that? She's the collector treasurer at town oh. And.

Speaker 1:

AJ Andrews.

Speaker 2:

He's on the board of assessors, okay.

Speaker 1:

All right, so I'll resend it to her.

Speaker 3:

Why would those names come to you?

Speaker 1:

Well, I, you don't have any. The answer is yeah, you, we said it to her. Why would those names come to you? Well, I can understand maybe the consulate a few, but I have the chair of anything. Well, actually, I know I'm an alternate on the board of appeals also, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

that's why I said it was confusing, that's why I answered every place.

Speaker 3:

I saw my name.

Speaker 1:

I answered for it, but the rest of the council on ages that I mentioned, everybody still wants to be on it, right? Nobody's looking to bail out, okay? So we'll check out the organization when we talk to Susan. Anything else on the whole business, okay. New business summer events.

Speaker 2:

I think I mentioned some of them. Yeah, but they all have a bucket list and stuff. Okay, and the lights? Yeah, the lights. So we had the town electrician come, let me guess, last Thursday with Fred, and so they think they can use the town electrician to change all the lights. It can work after hours.

Speaker 1:

Who is the town electrician?

Speaker 3:

I think his name works with the sewer department over he works in the sewer department.

Speaker 2:

He's an electrician so we're hoping to use him. He was roughly stating that it would be around $10,000 to replace the lights.

Speaker 1:

They're replacing the whole light fixture, not just the box. Yeah, and the whole thing, Unless those fixtures don't handle LCD LED.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so it is roughly 10,000. So, greg, why don't you just mention it? He's on vacation this week, but he can come back to a meeting from your owner.

Speaker 1:

Well, is it possible to get to 10 from the 20 that's left over this year, so we don't have to touch the other ones? Yeah, I'm going to talk to him about that. We've got Thursday. I'll report back from here. Anything else, I have to touch the other one. Yeah, I'm going to talk to him about that. We've got Thursday. I'll report back from here. Anything else, you guys have a new business. Anybody want to talk about it, or not? Do I have to go out to bid? No, if it's Under 10,000. It's special, it's quote should be 9,999. 999. 99 cents. So that's what we're trying to shoot for. You know that can't be. The prices can't be $1.69 or $1.59 anymore because there's not going to be any more pennies. It would be interesting. Yeah, I would like to use the rest of our budget for it. Gas is probably since the beginning of time. Gas has always been, you know something, 99. Like we don't realize that it's really $20.

Speaker 2:

It just sounds better. It sounds better, all right, anything else?

Speaker 1:

Okay, Okay, I uh because before we sign off here, I'd like to commend you on performing your job and being placed in different locations all over the universe, I know right While, you're trying to do it. You never know where she's going to peek out from.

Speaker 2:

At least the weather's been pretty decent so we can walk around instead, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Just as general information. I know it's posted on the wall over there. It said breakfast across the street the Lions on Saturday. Every first Saturday they're going to remind me to do a breakfast and if you read the flyer on it, it's freaking breakfast. Yeah, I think, and I plan on going this month. I've never been before. But they cook the eggs so hard. It's not like a buffet when you grab a scoop of scrambled eggs. I think they're taking them up in July off Double check. I think June they're still serving, but July I think it was on this month. But we can support it because they're a big supporter of us.

Speaker 3:

It should be. Is this from wood box lighting here?

Speaker 1:
