RE: Centre Region Senior Center - 2007 COG Funding Formula
Senior Center Director Barbara Lindenbaum has provided the following Program Attendance Figures which are used to calculate the
municipal funding shares for 2007 at the Centre Region Senior Center. This will be the eighth year where “program visits” are used to
determine COG funding shares rather than “noontime meals served.”

199 of the program visits were by nonresidents of the Centre Region during the 12-month period,. The nonresidents are included in the
counts shown above, but are not included in the funding formula calculations (on the front of this memo). Detailed counts by month are
available upon request.
The “Program Visits” increased by 5.5 % while the “Meal Count” also increased for the first time in many years (largely in response
to improved food quality by the county’s vendor). Of course, not all programs occur at the center. Of the 29,746 program visits (by residents
and nonresidents), 18,443 (62%) were at the senior center and 11,303 were at off-site locations. The increased program visits are due to
expanded Senior Center and PC Learning Lab programs, the State College Senior Social Club that meets at the senior center & CALL
programs (in the State College area only).
