I. The meeting was called to order at 10:08 a.m. by vice-chairman Julie Jensen.
II. Secretary's Report: The minutes from the June meeting were reviewed. John made a
motion to accept the minutes. Liz seconded the motion and it was approved.
III. Treasurer's Report: Lorraine reported that June expenses included $1630 for the card
cabinets. Revenue for June was $317 and included money from the June dance and
card sales. June made a motion to accept the report, which was seconded by Liz. The
motion passed.
IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Julie reported that the trip to the Mall of America using light rail has had
several setbacks but is still on as scheduled. The Afton trip was successful as
the weather held off long enough for them to enjoy their boat ride. The mystery
trip is sold out, the state fair trip has a few openings, the casino trip has 27
registered, and the trip to the Eagle Center has only four openings left. The next
four trips will leave from the Recreation Center due to the Senior Center
parking lot renovation.
B. Program Update- Kathy reported that the Christmas Angels made chocolate
truffle mix this past month and are selling them for $6 each. Canasta continues
to be popular. An intergenerational event is being planned. Memory stones
will be made by grandparents and their grandchildren. A Red Hat tea is
scheduled for this fall. The movie this month was "Million Dollar Baby".
Kathy is planning a comedy week with a different movie each day. The parking
lot should be functional by mid-August.
C. Cards- The sale of cards amounted to $265 for June.
D. Dancing- The June dance had 85 participants and showed a profit of $119. This
activity has been showing very consistent numbers over the past several months.
Liz asked whether there could be a little more variety in the types of music
played. Kathy said that decisions about bands are made by the dance group.
E. Cabinets- The cabinets have all been fitted with hinges and are ready to go.
F. Newsletter Sponsorship- MidCountry Bank has agreed to continue sponsoring
the senior newsletter with an annual payment of $1000.
G. Dance Floor- All the additional pieces of dance floor have arrived. We now
have 48 pieces of dance floor with matching trim which gives us an addition of
over 400 square feet of dancing space.
V. New Business
A. Christmas Angels- We've sold 26 out of the 36 flag pins made by the
Christmas Angels.
B. Other- Julie commented on the calendar and wanted to make it as accurate as
possible since it is a wonderful aid in setting meeting agendas. She noted that
the rummage sale should be included for April.
VI. Adjournment: Lorraine made a motion to adjourn at 10:45am with a second from
John. The motion passed.
Next Meeting: Monday, August 15th, at 10:00 a.m.
