Based on the Community Center discussions I’ve read on LT, I think there are two related, but distinct visions:
1. *Optimize space needs for COA activities*: We have a schedule of COA activities that attract x attendees/y session. Regrettably, Bemis Hall falls short of adequately accommodating these needs. We should come up with cost-effective space management to better host these activities. That means spaces can be distributed. For instance, consider hosting movies at Bemis, podiatry sessions at Pearce House, and Tai chi at a new venue. At its essence, this challenge revolves around effective facilities management. 2. *Create a modern–day village square: *Our town is spread out and that makes it hard to connect with fellow residents – not only for our aging demographic, but individuals across all generations. It would be great if we had a building that serves as the focal point for town residents for a wide range of activities accompanied by serendipitous encounters and conversations. This vision can only be realized if we pool as many activities as possible in one central location to attain critical mass. I think we may be talking past each other because it may not be clear which one we’re trying to solve for. Best, Fuat Koro Sweet Bay Ln.
