Board, the following recommendations were made:
The Parks & Recreation Board authorizes the formation of a
Senior Citizens Group to conduct programs for their own
benefit and to advise the P Sc R Board on the use of facilities
and other matters of interest to the Senior Citizens community.
The Senior Citizens Group is authorized to elect interim
officers of Fresident, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer and
other officers as desired, and to proceed with development of
by-laws to govern operation of the Group. It is also
recommended that the officers be 60 years of age or over and
be a citizen of Allen.
The P & R Board also approved and recommends the adoption of
the Rules of Usage for the Senior Citizens Center and other
areas in the Old Middle School:
1. Two rooms are available, one of which is to be designated
primarily for Senior Citizens use; the second will be for
general community use.
2. For the purpose of scheduling, the whole of the Senior
Citizens residing in the city of Allen will constitute
the Senior Citizens Group. Sub -groups of Seniors such as
RSVP will be scheduled so as not to interfere with the
Allen Senior Citizens Group.

maintenance, heating and cooling, and cleaning of the
facilities.

of the facilities unless their conduct warrants. Use of
facilities may be denied by the Parks & Recreation Board.
