Dawn and Rosemary presented the new ideas. <br />Rosemary Violante presented graphics of the suggestions for the new names. <br />A suggested name in place of calling the building "The Senior Center" was "The Open <br />Door" with a tag line -"A Dynamic Accessible Community Resource For Adults of All <br />Ages." There was discussion about the name and concern that the tag line maybe <br />misleading regarding all ages. <br />The suggested new division name was "Gateway" tag line-to "Community Resource <br />Center for Life's Challenges". There was discussion and the tag line was revised -to <br />"Community Resources For the Town of Reading." <br />Dawn asked for input after the graphics were circulated and there was time for a visual of <br />the new names. She wrote down the many responses and concerns for example that <br />Gateway sounds like a computer company. <br />There will be further discussion at the June meeting. <br />Next regular meeting on Monday, June 11, 2007 at 6:30pm. <br />Motion to Adjourn at 6:30 <br />Respectfully submitted: Stacey Bertocchi <br />
