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.
