Actually it said:

The workers spent their own money and were reimbursed from accounts funded by Laguna Woods Village residents.

This spending is in addition to the more than $116,000 top managers charged on company credit cards in 2005 and 2006, about one-third of which paid for fancy food. All the bills were ultimately paid by retirees.

PCM general manager Milt Johns said the residents at Laguna Woods Village spend about $5 per household per year for these types of events,

Now, granted that is a very low amount of money, but for me it would depend at least partly on whether these employees were full time employees of the retirement village or not.

I think it was appropriate for the property management firm to do those things for employee morale, but I am not sure it was appropriate for them to reimburse themselves from the retirement village's coffers.
