director's report, anne hinton. >> good morning, president james and commissioners. just a few things to report today. one, we keep bringing, i keep bringing up, others bring up the older americans aktd and the push we were having in congress to try to move that forward. it's looking now like nothing is going to happen in the lame duck session. i was on a conference call yesterday and it's sounding like it may not come back up in a real solid bill until 2017, so we'll update you on that and let you see. the white house conference on aging, though, is still going forward. they are still speculating that the convening of people, which will be a very small convening, will happen in july. we will keep an eye on that. clearly we want to do a san francisco response to that event and will be engaging you thinking about how we might be doing that and getting you all involved in that as well. i also wanted to mention we are getting closer and closer to the opening of what we refer to as 2 goth. it's a building at the corner of goth and otis and it's been empty for a while, it

under the long term coordinating council and one of the co-chairs of the task force is our very own anne hinton and if you have questions i am sure that she can help with that. another issue that came up on the council that actually has been coming up in the community quite a bit is, looking at the group of people who are long term survivors of hiv and aids. and there is a great tag line about envisioning our future we never dreamed of. and so it is for the group of people who are dealing with the issues that people had not planned for and so there a project called community connect, which may be similar to the homeless connect, project. and the last item was a legislative update and although i don't need to say anything about that and it has been covered today and the other thing that i wanted to mention, was that the same day, as this meeting, we did the first of the five town hall meetings that the council will be doing as part of the scan brand about developing and sustaining the long term coordinating council, and so the first town hall meeting was the senior and disability candidates that
