Connie made a motion to approve the minutes with a second from Jeannette. The motion passed. III. Treasurer Report: Since we no longer have a separate bank account, the minutes will refer to financial activity as the Monthly Sales Review. This will cover the Center’s fundraising activities. This past month there was $51.60 in card sales and $10 in dish cloth sales. IV. Old Business- None V. Business A. Senior Center Tours- Julie reported that it has been over a year since our last tour. Planning has begun again with the hopes of having our first tour of 2021 th on August 24 with a cruise on Lake Minnetonka and a visit to a flower garden in Orono. This will be followed by a trip to a St. Paul Saints game. The Saints will be playing a matinee game against the Omaha Storm Chasers. The Saints th are now the AAA farm team for the Minnesota Twins. On October 13 we will once again plan to travel to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater to see their version of “The Music Man.” This trip was postponed from last year. B. Program Updates- September reported that more people are coming back to the Center. Book clubs are already running or getting ready to restart. The snowshoe outing was cancelled due to a lack of snow. The AARP Defensive Driving class will not meet in person until at least September. In April we will see the addition of pinochle on Mondays and Tuesdays, a Tuesday exercise class using a DVD, and a session on learning to play the Sheephead card game at 1:00pm which is also on Tuesdays. Ping pong is happening on Wednesdays at 1:00pm. Bingo is taking place on Fridays while a knitting workshop is being held on Monday afternoons. Movie presentations will continue monthly. C. New PRCE Director- Lynn Neumann joined the PRCE staff as its new director today. She hopes to be present at the April meeting of the advisory board and get a chance to meet its members and discuss the current status of the Center. D. Other Items- September showed the board a possible t-shirt design for the Center. Discussion ensued and the board tabled the matter until next month. In the past we’ve had some type of volunteer appreciation day but this will be delayed until the Center is fully reopened. Much the same for a potential concert. Until we know for sure that it won’t be shut down, we don’t want to book an event that might not happen. VI. Adjournment: Rhonda made a motion to adjourn at 11:10 am with a second from Jeannette. The motion passed. The next scheduled meeting of the Senior Advisory Board will be Monday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m. John McRaith, Secretary
