Message from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Your membership with the Whiteside County Senior Center not only

offers you a wide array of activities but it also helps our organization

thrive. Your commitment to help our organization grow over the past

year was sincerely appreciated. We look forward to growing with you

this year as we have several new offerings for our members. This

year we will be offering a standard membership and a plus

membership. To learn more about our new membership plus, turn to

page 6.

This year we look forward to offering our members an array of quality

programs and services to further our mission. The Whiteside County

Senior Center’s mission is to provide services and programs

for senior citizens throughout Whiteside County, that promote

their well-being, encourage their involvement in community life,

and support their independence. Our staff is committed to

ensure our members have a positive and enjoyable experience at our facility.

I wanted to update our existing members on all the accomplishments we have had over the past

year. Included in this report you will find: statistical data for programs, revenue sources,

expenses, membership information, and goals for 2018.

For those of you I may have not met yet, my name is Tori McDaniel and I am the new Executive

Director for the Whiteside County Senior Center. I come to the senior center with 6 years’

experience in administration as I have served as the county’s Director of Public Transportation

for the past 6 years. During my tenure as Director of Public Transportation, we increased

ridership by 85%, expanded our service hours, increased our State grant draw down by

$272,000, and increased fundraising and marketing efforts. Before coming to work as the

Director of Public Transportation, I graduated from Northern Illinois University. While attending

NIU I earned my Bachelors of Science Degree in Psychology. I graduated Cum Laude with

Upper Division Honors and participated in neuroscience research with my professor which

resulted in a published publication. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my

husband and two young daughters. We love to travel as a family and I enjoy baking and crafting

with my little ones. I sincerely have enjoyed my time as Director of Public Transportation and I’m

proud of where the program is today. I look forward to working hard for the Whiteside County

Senior Center and the centers members. I hope you enjoy the annual report we have put

together for you

Sincerely,

Tori McDaniel

Mission

The Mission of the Whiteside County Senior Center is to provide services and programs for

senior citizens throughout Whiteside County, that promote their well-being, encourage their

involvement in community life, and support their independence.

Program’s Impact

ADRC

Our ADRC department strives to link senior citizens and

individuals with disabilities to programs that will help them

maintain their independence. Some of the programs we assist

with include: Medicare classes, license plate discounts, options

counseling, SHIP, and many more! Last fiscal year, our ADRC

department assisted 2,436 individuals.

Meals

The center serves home cooked meals, Monday-Friday from

11:30am to 12:30pm. Our meal program is open to residents of

all ages. Our meals are $5 and include a main course, side dish,

and drink. Last fiscal year we served 822 individuals and

provided them with 11,130 meals.

Activities

The staff takes pride in our program offerings – from exercise

classes and health and wellness activities to card games, day

trips, and extended trips. We have a commitment to offer

activities and events that are appealing to each participant. Last

fiscal year, 2,862 individuals participated in various activities.

Financial Management

The Whiteside County Senior Center can provide an array of services through state and federal

grants, local contributions, United Way funding, and generous donations from members. Without

the support of our community, we would not be able to provide the services that we do. Our federal

and state grants require local match dollars which means we must rely on community support to

keep our organization thriving. We value our contributors and due to that, we focus on operational

expenses for all our programs.
