Welcome: MaryAnn’s Hearing Speaker on Friday, 7/31 11:00 Introduction to their new satellite office at the Painesville Center. Opening in August.

From the director: I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the over 75 center members who

were in attendance when the MCS Consulting Group facilitated a site review. This was

the final component of a several month process in substantiating our validity and

mission to the Lake County senior community as well as the Painesville area. What an

honor it was to answer their question “What are all these people here for?” with the

response “They are here for you.” Your presence spoke volumes for this organization!

I also wish to acknowledge Board Member Carol Fleck’s effort in lobbying

attendees and compiling a collection of member statements voicing their personal

support of the Painesville Center, as well as the members who contributed to it.

That booklet was presented to the consultants as well as Painesville City Council, The

County Commissioners and Painesville Township Trustees. Let’s continue this patronage!
