A Frank Sinatra review at the Plymouth Playhouse is scheduled for December. B. Update on Programs- September reported that the Music and Memories program was very interesting. Therapy involving music can impact people physically. Headphones played an important part in the therapy as it blocks out background noise. Woodstone was involved in providing this presentation. A band was also included as part of the production and there were 65 people in attendance. The Fellowship Dinner has 30 signed up for a build your own burger night. A kayaking group went to Manuella with a dozen people involved and then Round Lake with eight people participating. On August 5th they are meeting at Kouba Point and then they will head back to Manuella on the 24th. "Elsa & Fred" was okay for the movie of the month. "Alexander and The Terrible, Rotten, No Good Day" is playing today. On August 19th and 20th ,McFarland" will be showing. Discussion of indoor golf was tabled and September may check with the high school to see what they do. Heart of Hutchinson is hosting an event on Saturday September 26th with most of the PRCE staff involved. It will be a grand opening for the new paved trail that will be completed by then. V. Business A. Fall Concert- The Church of Cash band will be performing a second concert on Saturday, October 10th. They will be bringing a female singer along this time and more lights. Tickets are already made. We will use assigned tables again. Hoping to sell tickets at least a month in advance. Four sponsors are on board so far. B. Jackpot Junction Fundraiser- The Jackpot Junction fundraiser has been cancelled as they are no longer providing this opportunity. C. Booth Mall with Woodstone- The mall is putting on an exhibit on October 3rd sponsored by Woodstone and they would like the Senior Center involved. The board left the decision up to September as she has begun doing some activities with the assistance of Woodstone. D. Other- Don asked that the board item about reporting results to the Leader of Senior Center activities be dropped as an agenda item as it would probably result in a lot of the same names being submitted from week to week. There was also some discussion about giving further recognition to some volunteers that go above and beyond the call of duty as a volunteer. The board reached a consensus that we not get into this type of recognition as it may lead to hard feelings on the part of other volunteers. 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, August 24th at 10:00 a.m. John McRaith, Secretary
