Witwer Center eyes reorganization and interim leadership
Witwer Senior Center will study merging with an unnamed elderly service agency and may appoint an interim director as Don Caspers ends his term in August. Office manager Carol Hutchings will serve at 16 000 annually until a new director is named. The board plans a year end proposal and may involve United Way and Linn County Health Center in talks. A petition seeks removal of two directors, Tapin and Bock, while smoking areas are reinstated after a temporary ban was reversed.
