***New Fee Structure***
At
their February 15 meeting the Commission on
Services for the Elderly voted to adjust
Canoe Brook’s fee structure. Activity fees
have not been raised since their inception
in 1994 and have remained at one $12 fee
payable twice a year. Last year we offered
703 classes; if you took every one you would
have only paid 3 cents per class!
An analysis of
fees statewide showed that we have the
lowest fees of all CT Senior Centers; most
are charging a minimum of $ 2 – 5 per class.
We are very fortunate that the Town of
Branford
contributes about 50% of the funds needed to
pay our instructors, however our current fee
structure does not adequately support the
remaining 50%. To address the deficit, the
Commission unanimously voted to implement
the following
fee structure for 2008
(fee structure will be reviewed on an annual
basis):
There will now be two
different fees, each payable twice a year
(January & July).
Activity Fee:
$15 covers participation in Bridge and Art.
Fitness Fee:
$24 covers
participation in Swimming, Aerobics, Yoga,
Tai Chi, and Dancing.
Participation lists will
be reviewed monthly as many of our classes
are now at capacity. For those classes with
a waiting list members who miss 4
consecutive classes will be removed from the
class roster and placed at the bottom of the
waiting list; this will allow new members
the opportunity to join and participate.
There will be no refund of fees paid.
Membership
Dues:
$5 effective
July 1, 2008.
A schedule of
activities/special events is posted at the
Center monthly. In addition a newsletter
with a complete listing of all activities,
trips, and events is mailed to our
membership quarterly. Please stop by the
Front Office at 11 Cherry Hill Road to sign
up. We look forward to meeting you!
