ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In July of 2016 a small group of volunteers, from the Keller Senior Activities Center (KSAC) in Keller, Texas, met to discuss how they could help the Senior Center accomplish its goals. They discussed the possibility and purpose of establishing a non-profit organization:
• to support the needs the center and the needs of the members who attend,
• to insure that the City of Keller $80,000 feasibility study of the KSAC would include the concerns of its members,
• to explore the offerings of other Senior Centers in the area,
• to identify processes necessary for promoting numerous activities, donations and support that the members provide to the community and businesses in the Keller area,

The Power Presentation was applauded by the Committee members.
IMPACT
As a result of that presentation we were asked to submit the same to the Keller City Council, which was accomplished on February 7, 2017. Subsequently the City Council approved to proceed with the feasibility study. The concept of a new Senior Center has been approved and is now in the architectural stage.
The Board was included in a visit to another Senior Center, to see the structure, layout, activities and the impact of their own non-profit group. Members of the Board were invited to attend and contribute to discussions in meetings of the Keller Parks and Recreation Committee. Impact on the seniors, themselves, was demonstrated by the fact that, in the Power Presentation, to the Keller City Council, they were able to submit testimonials of how they perc
