This membership has included various perks and discounts while visiting the senior center and participation in its programs. In November 2023 the Board formed an Ad Hoc Committee and presented an updated membership format, which was approved at the March 2024 meeting. Staff implemented the new membership structure January 1, 2025 with the theme “Living Life Vibrantly,” utilizing the Ad Hoc Committee’s recommendations and program structure, which includes the expiration of all memberships on December 31 each year. DISCUSSION: To foster more community input and impact, staff would like to involve current senior center membership holders in the selection of the 2026 Membership Theme. In this way seniors have direct input in what theme best speaks to their own community and be proud to be part of the San Bruno Community Center’s Community of Care that we are fostering, in addition to the other benefits membership provides. Items that will need to be identified: • Theme, for example- o Living Life Vibrantly o Timeless Together o Joyful Journeys o Life is a Beautiful Journey • Commemorative item • Potential logo ideas, for example- o The turtle and stars o Color • Card Design • Additional membership theme ideas as needed Item 6c Page 11 of 18 In addition, a timeline will need to be outlined and followed to allow for presentation and finalization of ideas with enough time to order supplies and setup the system for renewals. Based on the needs outline above, City staff is recommending the formation of an ad-hoc subcommittee comprising of no more than three board members to work collaboratively with staff to create and implement a program for current senior membership holders to select the 2026 Senior Center Membership theme. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is associated with this report. RECOMMENDATION: Form an ad-hoc subcommittee comprising of no more than three board members to work collaboratively with staff to create and implement a program for current senior membership holders to select the 2026 Senior Center Membership theme. ALTERNATIVES: Do not form an ad-hoc subcommittee, and staff will create and implement a program for 2026 Senior Center Membership theme. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Their hard work encompasses a wide range of activities, from organizing social events and educational programs to providing essential support for patrons. These dedicated individuals contribute countless hours, fostering a warm and inclusive environment that helps seniors engage with one another and feel connected. The COVID-19 pandemic and other challenges have prevented the center from hosting a volunteer appreciation event for the past few years. This absence has made it difficult to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions. Acknowledging and celebrating their efforts through a dedicated event shows gratitude, strengthens the sense of community, and encourages volunteerism in the future. DISCUSSION: Historically this event has been held at the Senior Center in the Assembly Room. At the November 19, 2024 meeting it was voted to hold this event on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Based on informal discussion and feedback, plus Staff capacity, postponing the event to a later date allows for more volunteers to attend, and the event to be better staffed. We seek the Senior Advisory Board’s input into which future date works best. We welcome a discussion on dates listed below. A. Date & Time: Saturday, February 22, 2025 Saturday, March 22, 2025 B. Attendance: All Current Senior Center Volunteers C. Catering: Sit down meal D. Entertainment: MC, interactive games, live show E. Other: Other components that the Senior Advisory Board feels would make this event impactful. Item 7c Page 17 of 18 FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is associated with this report. Staff will actively work towards sponsorship and in- kind support for this event. RECOMMENDATION: Confirm date and time for the volunteer recognition event and provide any further ideas to staff. ATTACHMENTS: None. Item 7c Page 18 of 18
