SENIOR SERVICES COORDINATOR'S REPORT—Shawn Daly
• A BIG THANK YOU to Board Members who helped with the "Senior Stage Revue."
• Tim and I attended the shelter operation training May 10tn '
• A few months ago Rosie handed Shawn a Form 99T electronically. This form distinguishes the '
Advisory Board as a non-profit organization. Shawn took the form to Randy Ritualo who explained it needs
filing with IRS stating our status has not changed, have not generated over$25,000 in a given year and
continue to be a non-profit organization. Shawn asked if he could do it for us. He said, "Yes." i received this
letter from him stating, "Dear Mr. Daly: Please find attached acknowledgement by the Internal revenue i
I Service that Form 990-N has been filed and accepted for the tax year ending 12/31/201�0. No further action is �
required. Should you or any of the officers have questions, please contact my office. Randy Ritualo,
President." Shawn suggested, since Randy did not charge for his service, we send him a $50 gift certificate to
Melrose Steak House. It was moved by Rose Warren, second by Douglas Gregory to purchase a $50 gift
certificate for Randy. Motion Carried.

• With little resource they have I want to commend staff for their hard work and ihank them publicly,

children that would like to participate, I would be glad to direct that person to Kelly Beamer, Parks Director.

on the Cedar River Trail. Parks instituted new trail safety regulations this past year; dismount zones and
slower miles per hour.
