�CREA'TION DIRECT�R-Terry Higashiyama Community Services Administrator
(Filling in for Tim Williams during his absence)
Terry read and distributed a draft handout titled Senior Center Communication Path.
This contained many good points to follow for a successful team effort.
In reviewing the goal list from the retreat there will be an effort to narrow the list in
2014 for better implementation. Review the handout and edit where you might feel
needed and give a copy of your suggestions to Debbie and we will review again at the
October meeting. The marketing brochure is a really a good tool to let people be
more aware of the Renton Senior Activity Center. Remember when you sit on the
Advisory Board you represent the City of Renton. A reminder always let the staff be
aware of any safety issues or other issues that you might become aware of that need
the staffs attention.
