The intergenerational community center is extremely important to the Lincoln community in order to continue to service,social service, recreational, senior needs and children of all ages. I have seen this COA grow from a very small department in the 1980's to its current state aiding seniors via Shine,Meals on Wheels, health programs, a valuable resource to help seniors stay in their homes, recreational and mental health. The recreation department fills so many needs via exercise programs for young and old. They both do this in deteriorating buildings, which if improvements were made still would not really meet the needs of their programs. As a geriatric social worker at McLeans (20 years), I often relied on COA to help get services for elderly discharges. As a mother of two, there was nothing for my children to do after school once they aged out of Leap. Having a community center combining all these programs is a must in my humble opinion. At least approve Wednesdays vote for the town to approve the first step. Please come and support this vote on Wednesday at 7 at the school. Many thanks to all who read this. Wendy Kusik
