Dear Members,
Some people have written to say they've stopped getting LincolnTalk. While
there are some outliers, one thing some folks who are having problems have
in common right now is @comcast.net.

Rick Herrick did great work for us. We had a major water problem and he was
able to fix it from the inside. The other quotes I got were much higher and
the work would have included ripping up a considerable area of our patio.
I highly recommend him.

Karla, These are all excellent points… Even if we had the data on actual usage and attendance (we don’t) and even it somehow supported an argument for the construction of these large spaces (it doesn’t), we would then be forced to ask ourselves the logical next questions. Should Lincoln be

We need to look at hours of operation for COA programing.
The concerns over traffic on campus when little ones are moving about means our
programs might begin and end depending on school hours-9 to 3, and 9-12 on
Wednesdays?
Will there be adult programming and services outside those
We can all agree that the seniors and the COA need support and we should
come together to find solutions. What gives a lot of us pause is the
current plan, which is focused on building a 16K-20K sq ft facility at a
cost of $15M+ without understanding our true needs (neither current nor
future) nor
This is why having a cozy place to hang out and chat with others at either
Bemis or the Pierce House is a great short term solution, but ideally it
should be integrated into the new Community Building (should it proceed) so
that folks can see others as they come and go, and be part of a buzzing
The benefit of having a hang out place at the Council On Aging building is that people run into each other when they are there for services or programs. Then they like to sit around and talk before or after what they came for. A hang out at Pierce house sounds lovely, but that would have to be an
I so agree with Sara --

And, Alan provides rides to all sorts of other places-MD appointments, shopping
trips, tips beyond Lincoln.
He recently drove someone to NYC.
He is lovely and each ride has been a treat.

All,
My suggestion was not to imply the Pierce House could accommodate all of the
COA/H programs and services.
Rather, I was suggesting a number of smaller activities + the desire for a cozy
place to drop in, have coffee, hang out might be accommodated by the Pierce
House.
Remember, the charge
A lot of people have expressed concern that the attendance figures at the COA
vary wildly from day today and from month to month and nobody really seems to
understand what volume of people we should plan for. Let me remind people that

Speaking as a person
Pierce House is lovely and might be useful for various sorts of social
gatherings, but I don't see how those small rooms are sufficient for any
sort of exercise class or a lecture or meeting of any size. And aren't
there accessibility issues?

Alan Giles, a Lincoln resident, has been great in taking me to the airport and
beyond .
He even drives cars to Florida for us snowbirds

Dear Steve: thank you for your constructive, empathetic and compassionate
thoughts towards drivers. I have similar warm thoughts towards cyclists
who flout the laws on trails and roads alike but since they have no license

How about this for
The best gift a town or society can give is to give back. Do you think the
people who built Pierce home or Bemis Hall or LPS so many years ago were
concerned about the family dichotomy of 2023? Nope, that is why they build a

Hi Colleen -
It has been thoroughly dismissed because the available space is completely
insufficient relative to the CCBC’s aspirations.
The CCBC believes that we need 16,000 to 20,000+ square feet of new space.
That is the premise that underlies all of their analyses. If you believe that
"Improving the Pierce house has been thoroughly dismissed by the
Community Center Building Committee and that is a shame. . In my
opinion, the Pierce House would make the ultimate Senior/Community Center."
Can anyone tell me why Pierce House was thoroughly dismissed by the
committee?

there with corn, cider, apples and winter squash, Bill with alpaca yarn and
a few more vendors. Details below.
