The “meal count” continues to decrease as the “program
visits” increase at the senior center. The increased program
visits are due to expanded senior center & CALL programs,
computer learning lab programs, and the State College Area Senior
Citizen Club that meets at the senior center. With regard to
nonresident services during the 12-month period, 134 (0.5%) of
the program visits were by nonresidents and 86 (2.5%) of the
meals were to nonresidents. Those individuals may have been Centre
County residents. Detailed counts by month are available upon
request.
