Among the ideas shared at a recent budget study session to come up with funding to help pay for Capital Improvement Projects as a $94,000 deficit looms was a reshuffling of senior programming.
Ideas bounced off the council included moving senior activities such as cards to the back room of the Plaid Moose (the building that was once home to the Multi-Purpose Center).
