The Leyden Council on Aging will meet to discuss routine business including approving July minutes, a financial report, and planning the September community lunch.

About 13 people receive foot care 6x/year (this may be going up? How many
August 3?) Do we want to split the cost, asking for $5 more per person, and
offering $5 (~$390/year). Or do we want to absorb the whole cost (~$780/year).
We can ask the Wells Trust for more money to offset the increase, but not until
next year (FY28). (*Is Leyden Life updated?)
