EDINA COMMUNITY HEALTH COMMITTEE
Subcommittee on Aging
Subcommittee:
The subcommittee consisted of Jan Johnson and Carolyn Peterson.
Subcommittee Activity:
Jan Johnson, Carolyn Peterson, and Sherry Engelman met with Sue Weigle,
Senior Center Director, to determine her perspective of the needs of the Edina seniors.
Transportation issues immediately were presented as her main concern. She felt that
VEAP was one solution for this issue.
The Senior Center has a rack of informational pamphlets on services and products
available to seniors in our community. In December, 2012, I visited the Senior Center
and noticed that VEAP's pamphlets were not included with the other materials in the
rack. I met with VEAP and learned that it has a pamphlet on transportation options. It
does need to be updated as a result of VEAP changing its physical location in
Bloomington. VEAP felt that the updated pamphlet should be included with the rack
materials.
I mentioned to VEAP that the Margaret Cargill Foundation gives priorities to
programs ,for seniors, children, and environmental preservation. I recommended that
VEAP apply for a grant to update its brochure and facilitate its transportation program.
VEAP's transportation program is mentioned in the Senior Newsletter. It is also
mentioned in the Edina Resource Center pamphlet. Sherry Engelman and I have had
several discussions as to how to make the VEAP transportation program, and other
transportation options, more visible. A note could be regularly placed in the City's About
Town magazine or the Edina Sun -Current.
I am attempting to connect resources and services for the Edina seniors.

Committee Member
