Although the fee would be considerably larger than most of our other tours, the board felt that we should pursue events that would be popular with seniors even if there is additional cost involved. B. Update on Programs- The chair cover project is going well. September is considering the possibility of renting the covers for off-site events. She is also developing a form for these rentals including a deposit. On September 30th the board was planning an open house for the Senior Center. It was decided to th combine with the Senior Expo on September 28 and get a booth. This would create higher traffic while still letting people know what the Center has to offer.

The first one is about Italy and will include some sampling of Italian items. ÐLetters to JulietÑ will be the movie for September. The final dances for 2010 will be held in September th and October.
