Development of a Senior Center Information
Booklet
Description:
The West Newton Senior Community Center Computer Club comprised of
members of the initial computer class has developed a center information
booklet. The booklet contains information on available programming activities,
special events, historical information, center garnered digital photos of
seniors in action, Rails to Trails hi-lites, and various services and volunteer
opportunities offered to participants of the Center. The Computer Club planned
the booklet, wrote the text, took pictures of the seniors and put the whole book
together. After review and editing, the booklet was printed. It is distributed
at the local library and various doctors’ offices throughout the community.
Target Audience:
Members of the community, especially anyone 60 years of age and older
Organizations Involved:
West Newton Senior Community Center Computer Club
Budget:
Members of the computer club donated supplies for the project, including
paper, ink, film, and card stock.
Impact:
The booklet makes older adults in the community aware of programs and
services available at the center. It also introduces the general public to the
center’s activities.
Problems:
The main issues the club cited were dealing with digital photo design,
developing the page layout and print set-up. The opinion of the club members,
though, was that the experience was worth the effort.
