Shawn has sent thank-you notes to both of these organizations. ■ One of the objectives of the Advisory Board was to better promote the Renton Senior Center. The current Renton Reporter has an ad that we placed that is very eye catching about the Senior Center. An ad's in the paper is not cheap,this ad was $800.00 and an additional$200.00 for added color. There was also an article on the back page profiling what we do at the Senior Center and specifically a focus regarding loneli.ness. These two items really cast a favorable i.mage of the Renton Senior Center. ■ The Lodge is presenting a Falling Leaf s Festival. They have asked for Advisory Boazd participation. If interested it would require probably two people. It's being held from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. on November 8�'. They are targeting the senior population. It's being held at the Lodge facility at Eagle Ridge. Judith Young volunteered to participate and suggested she could probably handle it by herself. . � • � ■ Current balance from the Ikuta fund is 660,715.33.This balance represents $4000.00 that was taken out for the Rockin on The River event. ■ Shawn received a thank you for the centers participation towards collecting school supplies for students in the Renton School District. A grand total of 3700 items including back packs and various school supplies was collected throughout the area. The bin that was provided at the center was generously stocked. ■ A concem of this Advisory Board was to have a plate warmer for meals served from the kitchen. Shawn has gone ahead and ordered a plate warmer at a cost of$2500.00 which the City of Renton will cover. The equipment has an on and off switch to prevent the equipment rnnning 24 hours straight. It's on wheels and can be put in storage when not in use. It . can handle 90 to 100 plates. ■ Shawn tallced to Cher regarding kitchen help signing i.n at the Receptionist desk. Since this is a volunteer request we cannot make it manda.tory. ■ As mentioned in the mi.nutes we aze replacing 200 chairs throughout the facility. All chairs will be uniform to the chairs in the dini.ng room. ■ Milt Tiede gave Shawn the list of items that need attention through-out the facility. Shawn acknowledged the terrific j ob the Facility people do during the two week closure of the center. Using the room where we conduct our Advisory Boazd meetings,the Facility people wiped down all walls,chairs,tables, light fixtures and they cleaned the windows. They post a to-do list on the door and when they complete a room they sign off on that sheet,they do this for each room. They aze not able in the two week time frame to complete everything,but they do a remarka.ble job in what they do get done. Shawn made a suggestion tha.t it might be nice to have Facility people come up during a board meeting and be acknowledged for the great job they have done. Pat Baylor inquired if Shawn wants Peggy to write the letter to the Facility people. Shawn would prefer Peggy writing the letter as an acknowledgement from the Board as opposed to it coming from Shawn. . + � � r RECREATION COORDINATOR—Debbie Little Computer Classes: Wednesday, Oct. 23 —Nov. 13 Adobe Photoshop Elements Thursday, Oct. 31-Nov. 14 Internet Navigator Tuesday, Oct. 29-Nov.19 Introduction to Computer 1 Thursday, Oct. 17-Nov.7 Organize your Computer Workshop Monday, Oct. 28 Conservative Investment Strategies in a volatile market .
