HONORING AND COMMENDING
STEVE & LINDA S UTHERLAND
OF
FUN CORNER
ON THEM
RETIREMENT
NOVEMBER 7, 2016
WHEREAS, after 60 years of year-round sales of costumes, make-up and
accessories, both Steve and Linda Sutherland, the owners of Fun Corner announced that
they are retiring their business and October 31, 2016 would be their last Halloween.
Blow-out sales began on November I and will close on November 27, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the Sutherlands bought the store in 1984, after decades on Base
Line and D Street - originally, right at the corner. Retiring seems to be the right choice
for their family, but is a significant civic loss for the community; and
WHEREAS, Fun Corner did much more than just sell Halloween costumes. They
also did party planning, make-up and sold costumes year-round too. Steve taught
classes in costume make-up; and
WHEREAS, Linda was President of the Base Line Business Association for many
years, and was very committed to the San Bernardino Community. They were also
members of the Sunset Rotary Club and very involved with the annual Tinman Triathlon
and Youth Tinman Race -for those with physical and developmental challenges; and
WHEREAS, Steve plans to bring his Ben Nye Make-Up Department to Party Plus
in Redlands where he will give lessons on how to both create and apply make-up; and
WHEREAS, Steve and Linda have a beautiful 8 year old granddaughter Sofia
who has cerebral palsy, who they spend a lot of time with. Linda plans to continue
working with special needs children. The Sutherlands plan to stay busy with the
Renaissance Fair in Irwindale, Junior University and various community events; and
WHEREAS, Steve and Linda Sutherland have partnered and faithfully served the
San Bernardino community at Fun Corner creating an unforgettable icon in our city; and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, on this occasion, and in appreciation of their
dedication and impressive contribution to the City of San Bernardino and its citizens,
we, on behalf of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino, do
enjoin, commend, and offer our best wishes in their retirement to
STEVE & LINDA SUTHERLAND
"FUN CORNER"
and we thank them for having an outstanding and exemplary record of public service.
