and pickleball has been growing at the Recreation Center. Kayaking is back in
th
season and a group will be heading to Thompson Lake by Cosmos on June 10.
V. Business
th
A. Concert Review- The May 4 concert drew 253 people to the Event Center.
With the help of a Thrivent grant the Senior Center netted $2456 from this
event. There were many positive comments about the concert.
B. Potential Fall Concert- September came across another performer who puts on a
show that includes imitating some of the great singers along with some comedy
th
and interaction with the audience. He happens to be in the area on October 5
and is available for a concert. The plan would be to offer an afternoon show
and have the possibility of a second show on the same day if it sells out. Curt
made a motion that we pursue this opportunity and got a second from Mike.
The board consented to the motion.
C. T-Shirt Design- September showed the board members a potential design for a
Senior Center t-shirt. It would have a logo on the front and a listing of all the
activities held at the Center on the back. The challenge will be in choosing a
logo for the front of the shirt.
D. Other- The monthly drawing for Fellowship Dinner tickets went to Marlyn
Krueger.
VI. Adjournment: Curt made a motion to adjourn at 11:04 am with a second from
Darlene. The motion passed. The Senior Advisory Board’s next regularly scheduled
