Intergenerational Programming Report
This past June a senior committee was formed to explore ideas and options for intergenerational
activities timt could be sponsored by the Chanhassen Senior Center. Contacts were made to all
the youth ministry programs in Chanhassen, 4-H Club representatives, Cub Scouts and Girl
Scouts groups, and the Youth Commission with ISD #I 12. I have complied a tentative schedule
of activities w,here youth will be interacting with seniors in some form or another once a month.
Often times seniors can form the same negative attitude children form towards seniors. I hope
with the various activities that are planned we can create a positive experience where both the
senior and the child learn fi'om each other.

SUB J: Monthly and daily activity report averages for 1995 - 1997
Attached to this memo is three reports regarding daily attendance averages, monthly attendance
averages, and daily activity averages. I have collected data from January 1995 to the currcm date
of October 22, 1997. The numbers for the monthly attendance report were collected from a book
where seniors sign in at the greeters desk in the Senior Center. Therefore these numbers could be
a slight bit off considering some people forget to sign in when thev arrive. The numbers for the
daily activities report were collected by myself. 1 make a point to count the number of people we
have daily fbr each activity and then take the weekly numbers and average them quarterly. The
last report is the daily attendance report. The data for this report was collected fi'om the daily
activities report averages. Each day there are specific activities taking place. For instance,
Bridge, Men's Club and Women's Club meet on Mondays. I took the Bridge averages and the
Men's and Women's Club combined averages and totaled them together to come tip wifl~ a final
total. The days I have included in this report are Monday - Saturday. The only activity taking
place on Saturdays is our once a month catered meal and entertainment. I felt it was important to
include dais day considering the rate of attendance we receive for this activity.
