A. Senior Citizen Project
a. Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis commented that the commission needs to
come up with ideas relative to resources for the Thanksgiving /Christmas
event. Commissioner Della Mazziotti suggested that at these senior
citizen homes not only are there but some are convalescent patients, thus,
so the commission shouldn't focus on the seniors only, but should involve
convalescents also
b Chairperson Mary Sue Lewis suggested that the commission should have
a more organized event; in that way the commission will have a better
profit.
c. Fundraising ideas:

very profitable for the reason that you sell tickets to all family members
and friends that would like to see their mother, grandmother,
greatgrandmother, etc. Phyllis, who deals with the Senior Citizens in
Lynwood, and Wanda from Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke's office
can help the commission in putting the event together The Senior Citizens
participating would be from Lynwood, but the commission can invite Senior
Citizens from surrounding cities Commissioner Marie Sue Lewis
suggested for the Master Ceremonies to be Pat Harvey from Channel 9
