My Mother, Melva Neft, was part of the original committee to create the Senior Center. Over the years I have seen the Center functions and services deteriorate. I would like to help the City bring the Senior Center back to greatness and become a model for other communities. The Senior Center should improve the lives of Seniors and interact in the community with other organizations, such as religious organizations, colleges, libraries, and City recreational programs. The Senior Center is not be a warehouse for "old" people but should be a catalyst to keep older residents healthy and interact with the community.

SEE ATTACHED Cn C-3 r r 1 rn T �V Page 1 of 2 Senior Center Commission Statement 2016 I am applying for Senior Center Commissioner position for 'the City of Costa Mesa. I believe that I can contribute to the betterment of the new plan that the city has put in place since the recovery from the past management. For the last four years I have invested my time and energies to helping to make Costa Mesa a better place for everyone and especially for our seniors. During the election of 2014 1 had the privilege as a candidate to walk and speak with residents of over seven thousand homes in the city. The experience of meeting people one to one helped me to understand, and to appreciate the many concerns people have. I served on the second charter committee for our city, experiencing work of giving, listening, sharing and finding acceptable compromises. These components have been very valuable in other committees I have served on the city. I also participated on the Fairview Park Advisory Committee. Although I had my own desires I learned a very valuable lesson, when you serve your community you have an obligation to present and balance all the facts which represent the mandate of your community. Presently I am Filling out the term of a resigned member of the Pension Oversight Committee, and I find that my time and experience spent with the Charter Committee of 2014 is proving invaluable. It is my desire to work with the current outstanding Senior Center Commission, contributing my experience, and working with commission members, the center and the staff for continuing success. In my personal life I have been able to incorporate all my experience working with the many departments at the City as one the leaders in the redevelopment of my 100 plus year old church. The last year and half we have planned for the remake of one the community's iconic buildings. Our project is valued at nearly three million dollars and planned to last for the next 100 years. My involvement has been in the assisting of the financial plan as well as the everyday oversight of the project. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to meld both volunteer contributions in my life.

As a 40+ year resident of Costa Mesa, I would like to be considered for an appointment to the Senior Commission. I feel the CMSC has improved immensely since being taken over by the City of Costa Mesa. The staff is friendly, respectful, and accessible. They appear to listen to suggestions made by the Seniors and to implement affordable programs which will assist the Seniors in being healthy, active knowledgable and in general, a productive presence within the community. opportunities to interact socially as well as intellectually are provided, to keep one's mind from atrophying. As a member of the Commission, I would be an active listener and support to the best of my ability, the reasonable needs of the Senior Community. I have eaten meals provided by Senior Sery during lunch. I make It a point to sit with different groups of Seniors so I can better get to know them and their needs and opinions of CMSC. I have volunteered at the Travel Desk (still do, work and schedule permitting). Traveling with the Seniors is something I look forward to. My most recent trip was to the Four Queens in Las Vegas, I have placed my name on Pagel of 2 � C_p1,tL p A-PI� l-1 G/moi / OY J Lig q-/ U - >4/s /tYS�c z, ryjl,1- /T I'7Z) the wait list for several upcoming trips. I have attended the Health Fair, as well as a few other activities and classes sponsored by the CMSC. As for other community involvement, I am a member of the CM CERT, volunteer at my church and have volunteered at the local schools. I currently work as an occasional special education aide substitute for NMUSD. I bring a love of children, especially those with special needs, as well as a genuine care and concern in keeping our seniors healthy, happy and active physically, socially and within the mind,
