Coordinator's Report -- May 1998
Approximately 5,000 people attended the 10th Annual Senior Celebration Day. Which
surpasses attendance records in past years. A total of 60 exhibitors including health
screenings provided area seniors with a wealth of information. Planning for the 11th
Annual Senior Celebration Day will resume in October.
During the May United Way Board meeting, I was voted in as Secretary. Besides
taking the minutes, the Secretary is a member of the Executive Board which sets the
direction of the United Way of Elk Grove. I have also become actively involved with the
United Way of Suburban Chicago's Needs Assessment Committee. In the past, local
United Ways were required to complete a needs assessment every four year. These
assessments were used to help determine the level of funding an affiliate agency would
receive. However, this data was unreliable and very subjective. Consistency in the
administration and interpretation of data varied between the United Ways. This
Committee is working on overhauling the current process.
Our office maintains the "Where Do I Turn for Help?" section in the Jaycees telephone
directory. The Jaycees are currently in the process of compiling information for the
next edition. We completed the updated version of our section during the month.

Beth Madden, Coordinator
