We Are Asking for a Little More Information When You Sign In at Seba Seniors Starting in September. Why, You Ask?
At Seba Seniors, we are used to simply writing down our names when we attend events and programs. These attendance numbers have been very helpful when applying for grants and demonstrating how many people we serve.
You may have noticed that we are now asking for a little more information, including your age, where you live, and the program or event you attended.
There is a reason for this!
Seba Seniors is currently the recipient of a federal government grant. As part of that grant, we are required to collect additional information about the people participating in our programs. Some other grants also require information about where our participants live so that we can demonstrate that we meet their eligibility requirements.
We have heard concerns about privacy, and we take those concerns seriously. To better protect your personal information:
-
Last names will be removed from the sign-in sheets
-
Information provided to funding organizations will be presented as combined data only. No names will ever be submitted.
-
As each sign-in sheet is completed, it will be promptly removed and stored securely.
-
We will add a column which you can check if you have already provided personal information and then we just need you to sign your first name.
-
And just to be clear—we aren’t asking because we are curious about your age!
We know that we are all experienced people who have gained plenty of wisdom over the years. Your age does not change how we see you or the important contribution you make to Seba Seniors.
We simply need this information to meet our grant requirements and help ensure that we can continue receiving funding for the programs, activities and services we provide.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this information. It is truly appreciated and helps Seba Seniors continue doing what we do best—creating opportunities, connections and a welcoming community for everyone.
