Tours- Julie Jensen reported that the trip to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater on February 11th to see "Hello Dolly" had 36 people registered and turned out to be an excellent production.

April brings a visit to the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts to view "Art in Bloom" and a lunch stop at Murray's. This tour is also sold out. On May 2nd we will travel to the Minnesota History Center for "The Songs of the Hutchinson's", a tribute to the music of the Hutchinson brothers. The current registration sits at 16 for this outing. In June we will head to the Black Bear Lodge in Baxter for lunch followed by a visit to the Akeley Woodtick Theater for a musical comedy review. July brings with it a trip to Wadena for lunch and then on to the Douglas Lodge on Lake Itasca for a boat ride. The August tour is in the development stage while a State Fair trip will be on tap in early September. B. Update on Programs- September reported that the Fellowship Dinner is scheduled for tomorrow night already has 40 registered. Broasted chicken will be the main entree. "The Theory of Everything" was the movie for this past month and proved to be popular with the audience. "The Judge" will be featured as the March movie. The "Homesteading the Dream- Singing for the Cows" play drew a large crowd and worked very well at the Event Center venue. V. Business A. March Dance- This old time dance will be March 24th and will not feature live music. This is an attempt to provide an opportunity to dance without losing money on each event. B. Church of Cash Update- The Johnny Cash event held at the Winery drew a sellout crowd so the board is hoping that will carry over to our show on April 18th. Don would like to get together a group to oversee the distribution of flyers for this concert. C. Magic Show- September threw out the idea of having a magician perform as a different kind of entertainment for our senior audience. She has been contacted by someone who would like to put on a show. She will come with more details to the next meeting. D. Board Elections- After some discussion the board unanimously selected Don Schroeder to another term as chairperson of the Advisory Board. The remaining positions of vice -chair, treasurer and secretary were voted on together as all officers agreed to remain for another year. The vice -chair is Harriet Sturges, the treasurer is Warren Schuft, and the secretary is John McRaith. E. Other- Don mentioned that we may need to separate the card players and those attending the monthly movies. The sound from each activity is distracting those involved in the other program. VI. Adjournment: Curt made a motion to adjourn at 11:18 am with a second from Barb. The motion passed. Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 23rd at 10:00 a.m. John McRaith, Secretary
