(Connection) are donating to the Kenai Senior Center for purchase of a new software program. For many years, our staff has researched various software programs to fine tune the paperwork needed to maintain the Senior Center and the grants which fund its operation. In 2010, we discovered MySeniorCenter©, a computer software program built specifically for Senior Centers to consolidate activities, events, rides, meal deliveries, and more. The cost of the software was prohibitive for immediate purchase. We discussed the software with the members of the Connection and it was identified as a project for which they would help fund in the future. In addition, we have had private donations to the Connection for purchase of this software since then. On November 20, 2015, the Connection was presented with a video demonstration of the software and voted unanimously to spend $10,000 on the initial purchase and $1,800 for the second year maintenance fee. Nearly fifty percent (50 %) of the funds were specifically donated to the Connection for the software and the remaining funds will come from the Connection's gaming account, which needs to be spent down each year. City of Kenai IT Manager, Dan Castimore, attended an on -line live demonstration of the software and indicated his belief the software can be readily implemented into the Senior Center's current networking capabilities. I am requesting the City of Kenai accept The Kenai Senior Connection, Inc.'s donation of $10,000 for the purchase of MySeniorCenter© software.
