Logo launches a new era at Senior Center By Kathleen Szmit Manwaring kmanwaring@barnstablepatriot.com SOMETHING NEW - Barnstable Senior Center Director Elyse DeGroot prepares to unveil the new Center logo featuring an array ot seven circles to represent the seven villages of Barnstable. DeGroot wore a special sphere- printed scarf for the occasion. LAUDING THE LOGO-Carol McLeod of McLeod Design, who designed the new logo along with partner Mitra Edelhauser , shows off the new, more modern, Barnstable Senior Center Logo. It was designed in hopes of attracting Baby Boomers to the center. For many months now the Barnstable Senior Center has been chanting a unique man- tra, according to director Elyse DeGroot. "We've been saying, 'The Boomers are coming, the Boomers are coming!'" she said. "Actu- ally, the Boomers are here." So is the new logo for the Barnstable Senior Center, aimed at attracting that very Boomer audience. After much deliberation it was decided that the Center would keep its original mon- iker but upgrade the logo to a hipper, new style. The new logo was un- veiled in dramatic fashion following the presentation of awards during the Boston Post Cane celebration June 8 at the Center. "On each table are seven pebbles ," said DeGroot , indicating the array of glass beads adorning the tables. "The pebbles stand for the seven villages of Barnstable." With that , DeGroot and logo designers Carol McLeod and Mitra Edel- hauser revealed the new face of the Barnstable Se- nior Center: seven various- ly-sized sea-colored circles along with "Barnstable Senior Center: Programs and Services for the 50+ Community." "The seven circles rep- resent the seven villages," said McLeod. "With the large circle symbolizing the circle of life, circle of energy." While the circles are symbolic of the local area, the individual colors were chosen as they reflect those of the surrounding sea and marsh grasses. The difference between the old logo, a rendition of the town seal, and its predecessor is striking. The new logo definitely bears a much more modern flair. "It will take some getting used to," an attendee was over- heard saying. The logo will soon be seen on Center stationery, litera- ture, and business cards , as well as a new Route 28 sign that will feature a "ladder- style" design to allow for sign changes as activities change. "I think it's going to cause a lot of stir in the community, " said DeGroot. "Which is what we hope it will do." Along with the logo, the Center is also planning a major renovation of its garden-level space that will allow for more activity rooms, exercise space , and a health-screening clinic for blood pressure checks and flu shots.

The Lyndon and Paul Lorusso Foundation will contribute the same amount, as well as additional funds for operating expenses in perpetuity. The goal is a museum "dedicated to celebrating the cultural and ethnic diversity of the community and the rich history created by people of color on Cape Cod. " "There 's a huge community landslide behind this thing," Councilor Harold Tobey said last week. "It's economically sound, educationally sound, and morally sound. " Where angels tread "I feel sure there are a few 'angels' out there that will help us out ," Barnstable Land Trust Executive Di- rector Jaci Barton said last weeks in remarks quoted in a BLTnewsletter.And it would be "divine"if some good souls came up with about $50,000 to reach the $805,000 needed to "Save Bayview Farm" in West Barnstable. (The town council planned a vote on appropriating an- other $50,000 for the effort at its meeting last night.) June 30 is the deadline to raise the remainder of the funds , according to Barton. Otherwise $439,000 in state grants will be lost.
