I. The meeting was called to order at 10:00am by chairperson Rhonda Schwarze.
II. Secretary’s Report: The minutes from last month’s meeting were reviewed. Jeannette
made a motion to approve the minutes with a second from Connie. The motion
passed.
III. Monthly Sales Review: Card sales amounted to $78.60 for the month of October and
the tour for that month made a profit of $308.95. The goal is to run the tours at
break-even so this gives us a little cushion to use on a future tour.
IV. Business

th
“Once Upon A Mattress” was sold out. December 10 a group will head to the
Paramount Theater in St. Cloud for a presentation of “White Christmas” and a
th
chance to dine at the Coyote Moon Grill. The January 25 visit to Cold Spring,
to enjoy some music involving performers from Branson, sold out on the first
