The lack of newspapers for our residents is a concern and I noticed Gladstone has one now and wish they could come our direction with the paper. Trunk or Treat was very successful! There was a huge turnout and great weather. The Senior Tea Dance is a wonderful event for this city. There were 129 people in attendance for this dance. We had many people from surrounding areas also. They are also very excited about the upcoming Senior Dinner in December. Red X celebrated their 63' birthday last Friday. They were absolutely packed, it was so busy. Recycle Challenge is coming up this Saturday, please come with shredding or electronics and be counted for Riverside. Chief Mills and I went to the Northland Chamber last week and met the new Kansas City Chief of Police. He had very nice things to say about our Chief. I feel we are building good relationships with Kansas City through Mayor James and now the new Chief of Police. Tomorrow night is the Northland Regional Chamber Auction at the Argosy. Thursday evening I am receiving the David Garcia Environmental Award from MARC. A lot of exciting things are happening in Riverside. One more shout out goes to the Chief on his new grandson and David on his new granddaughter born on Sunday. BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Hurt — Nothing to report. COMMENTS Alderman Super — Thanks and kudos to Public Safety for the program to Trick or Treat for Halloween. Their presence while the kids are on the street around the houses was greatly appreciated. Alderman Fuller— Nothing to report. Alderman Bruns — I attended the Park Hill School Education Foundation breakfast and very nice. They mentioned Riverside and their appreciation for our support. Dr. Fisher was the speaker and it was held at the Hawthorne House. It was very well attended. Alderman Cope — Nothing to report. Alderman Thatcher — I attended parent-teacher conferences and Dr. Roe at English Landing thanked the City for our support and invited us to attend the program they have at EI Chaparral for reading on Thursdays, where teachers are volunteering their time.
