Dear Pat Abbey Bridge Club players/supporters,
I am heartened to have received 26 replies to my question (even after
removing the 3 or so duplicate votes)
1. Strongly prefer to stay at Senior Center -- *13*
2. Prefer to stay at Senior Center -* 3*
3. Undecided - *1*
4. Prefer to return to YMCA - *2*
5. Strongly prefer return to YMCA - *2*
Additionally 6 people expressed their support and planned attendance, but
did not express a preference.
There were several comments, one of which stands out . . . that Senior
Center's tend to be a good source of referrals.
I think we have a majority. For those of you who wonder, my vote was "*2*".
I think we have our plan. So let's do our best to make our new home work!
Thank you all for participating! Thank you all for playing bridge at our
club!
- Adam
Dear Regency Bridge Club friends and family,
We have completed 10 of our 12 weeks at the Glendale Senior Center. In two
weeks, we may be eligible to return to the YMCA.
*Please indicate 1 through 5.*
*1. Strongly prefer remain at Senior Center.*
*2. Remain at Senior Center*
*3. Undecided*
*4. Return to YMCA*
*5. Strongly prefer return to YMCA.*
You may also make comments. I will then circulate an anonymous summary of
replies to this who voted.
*I think most of us have an opinion on this, I simply want to seek your
input, "for the record."*
First a few points:
1. Card fees will be slightly higher at the YMCA ($8-9). However at the
Senior Center we may have to pay $2 for parking over 3 hours if the Senior
Center fixes their machine.
2. Parking may be easier now at the Y. (They have been keeping the back
gate to the parking garage open, so parking may be free and simpler).
3. The Y does not yet have a working elevator, which will be needed for
2 or 3 of our wheel chair dependent clients.
4. If we go back to the Y in mid August, we will have to leave again in
June, until mid August. We then have no assurance the Senior Center will
take us back.
5. The Y has not decided if they will have us back, in 2 weeks, though I
hope to know soon.
You are aware of other issues relating to air conditioning, room acoustics,
smoking, bathrooms, kitchen, etc., natural sunlight, ease of setting up,
fresh air.
Please note, this question will not be decided by a majority vote, but your
input is valuable.
Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Adam Barron
Club Manager
