   e) Request on behalf of Yolo Adult Day Health Center Presented by Peggy Phelps and Maria Luchesi. We helped Peggy develop a rough budget for a grant project needing DCN assistance in various ways. DCN would provide services inkind as well as for a fee to help the Yolo Adult Day Health Center develop a computerized register of frail elderly and disabled Yolo County residents with memory impairment. The registry, designed to be accessed by law enforcement offices, is to assist in the safe return of registered seniors who wander from their homes. In the event that the grant is approved, Peggy will work with Richard Lowenberg to define DCN's role more specifically. In the meantime the RAC authorized the Center the use of a Mailman List to aid communication between the Centers involved in the project (Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento and Winters)
