 Visit to Prospective Locations 

Obtained list from Board of Education regarding abanoned property.  Visited each location to assess size of building,  accessibility to transportation, other businesses in each area, other centers, if any, need for center in various areas, churches, etc.   Attended  council meeting in my area to see what new developments are in the works.  I understand there will be big shopping mall just across the expressway from where I live coming soon.  So far all of this space has not been leased, sold or rented.  Will be attending another meeting on Thursday of this week to see if there are any new developments.

YMCA provided me with in depth information about their centers in a 50 mile radius.  Put together a "rough" draft of the services I anticipate being available at the center.    Spoke with Bob of Retirementjobs.com who is working on the plan.
