David Clark Dept. of Community Development #1 Civic Center Plaza Decatur, IL 62523 Dear Dave : As you are aware, the Downtown Senior Center has for sometime been investigating relocating the Center to a larger facility so that we can offer more opportunities for senior citizens to participate in services , programs and activities to enhance the quality of their lives . I propose that the City of Decatur make a donation to the Downtown Senior Center of the soon to be city owned old Woolworth building . This donation would accomplish several things for our, the downtown as well as , senior citizens ; 1 . bring more seniors to the downtown area and thus increase the number of dollars being spent in the downtown area ; 2 . an excellent public relations opportunity for the City of Decatur ( especially at a time when an increased positive public image for the city could be very beneficial ) ; 3 . an opportunity for senior citizens to be in a much deserved "new, large & beautiful " location and facility. Sincerely, Glenda G. rown , M. S . W. , L . S . W.
