TREASURER REPORT—Sandy Polley Bank balance as of 10/31/13 $16,877.47 RECREATION SUPERVISOR—Shawn Daly ■ Shawn asked how many were at the center on Friday. If you weren't you � missed a nightmare of a day. Power was out and consequently shut down operations. The crab feed which was to be held Friday night was a major concem. When the going gets tough the tough get going. Everything for that event was moved over to the Community Center. All ended well. ■ The Holiday Craft Bazaar that was held Saturday, October 26�'was very successful. We were given$4000 three years ago by Lillian Fornellia to continue the bazaar. Shawn gave the treasurer$336.00 from the food sales that sold during the bazaa.r. This money was generated from the lunch program, and in addition to that$182.50 was made from the sale of coffee and donuts. Tha.t is a total of$518.50. Shawn requested a check for food expenses i.n the amount of$236.39 for the City of Renton and a separate check in the amount of$150.00 to be given to Cher Williams for her participation in cooking and serving for the event. A motion was made by Ben Cheney and seconded by Milt Tiede to issue two checks to cover these expenses. Motion passed. • � ' ■ A Volunteer Recognition Dinner is planned for December 4�'from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. Shawn believed he would have to ask the Advisory Board to help fund that dinner. But he is pleased to inform the committee that a gentleman who comes to the Renton Senior Center and appreciates so much what the volunteers do that he has donated $10,000. This donation will go into the Renton Community Foundation and the $2441.00 cost of the di.nner will be taken from that fund. This gentleman wishes to remain anonyxnous. This generous donation is his way of thanking the Renton Senior Center for all they have contributed to his life. This money will be held in the Renton Community Foundation account and each year he will be consulted as to its use. ■ Shawn had a check from Michael and Virginia O'Donin in the amount of I $100 given in Suzanne Thompson's name. Peggy Budziu will send a thank ou to the O'Doni.n's acknowledging there gift. A v ' us generous Y �'}° check was given by Sylvester Cugini in the amount of$2000 for the continuation of the Bingo program. Sylvester is someone else that wishes to remain anonymous and doesn't want any acknowledgement from city hall.A thank you will also be sent to him.

A$125.00 check from Lottie Calhoun rounded out the checks received since last meeti.ng.
