CKCATS held their annual Coordination Meeting on February 25th at 1pm EST at the CKCATS Central Office. This meeting is advertised and made available to the public each year to address the needs and concerns of the general public in all counties. Surveys are given to clients and Stakeholders in all counties and the information gathered is used for discussion to help improve transportation services.
I have been attending the Marion County Situation Table every Wednesday that I am available. The Situation Table is a group of community partners who come together for scheduled meetings to discuss the acute elevated risks of individuals in Marion County with hopes to pull together resources to meet the specific needs of the individuals presented to the Situation Table. The Situation Table has been successful so far and I look forward to sitting at the table and knowing that I or other resources in the community are helping individuals who face everyday barriers.
CKCATS is gearing up for the Senior Celebration that will be held on May 21st at the Pritchard Community Center in Elizabethtown. Funding for transportation for this event has decreased this year, but CKCATS will still be the means of transportation for seniors from the senior centers for this event. CKCATS will also have a booth at the Senior Celebration and will be talking with seniors to make them aware of the services that we provide.
Some members of the CKCATS team will be attending the Community Action Kentucky (CAK) Conference in Lexington on June 9th. We are looking forward to networking and learning valuable information.
