2006 will be the 7th year where “program
visits” are used to determine COG funding shares
rather than “noontime
meals served.”

Prior Year Comparisons:
149
of the program visits were by nonresidents during the 12-month
period,. The nonresidents are not
included in the counts shown above, and are not included
in the funding formula calculations. These individuals were
all Centre County residents, but not Centre Region residents.
Detailed counts by month are available upon request. The “Program
Visits” increased by 6.1% while the “Meal Count” continued
with a decrease of 2.5%. The increased program visits are due
to expanded senior center & CALL programs, PC Learning Lab
programs, and the State College Senior Social Club that meets
at the senior center. Of course, not all programs occur at the
center. Visits at the center include all of our regular programs
plus CALL classes that occur on-site, and visits offsite are
the CALL classes that are held elsewhere in the Centre Region.
Of the 28,327 program visits (by residents and nonresidents),
16,968 (60%) were at the senior center and 11,359 were at off-site
locations.
