IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Our trips remain very popular. Julie reported that the trip to the state fair
was completely booked, as well as the upcoming trip to the Mystic Lake Casino
on September 20th. All trips for remainder of year, except for the Crown
College Christmas event in December are sold out. Julie is currently planning
trips to the Women's Expo in January and to a viewing of "West Side Story" at
Chanhassen in February.
B. Program Update- Dances continue monthly and have been very successful.
There is a large Red Hat tea planned for October and the admission fee will be
$8. A Toe Nail Clinic will be held in October. The Senior Center is trying to
keep all activities within the scheduled Center times of 9:00am and 3 :OOpm. A
Sit and Be Fit program will be promoted through the Center. The staff are still
working on a Christmas program. Canasta has 8 to 12 people on a regular basis.
C. Cards- The sale of cards amounted to $118.50 for August.
D. Dancing- The August dance had 83 participants and showed a profit of $103.
The bands have been booked all the way through next year. Next dance is
Wednesday, September 28th..
E. Christmas Angels- The Christmas Angels are a group of people who meet from
June through December and create crafts to sell at the Senior Center. They
have collected $48 to date.
F. Terms for Board Members- Jim Hanson's term is done in December for the
board. Everyone else is good through at least 2006.
G. Dance Floor Contract- September presented the contract for floor rental. The
City Attorney has reviewed it. John made a motion seconded by Bob that we
should buy one more section so the floor can be 3 feet wider and match the size
of the other Event Center dance floor. This should be the final purchase of
flooring.
V. New Business
A. Senior Expo- The Senior Expo will be held at the Event Center on September
27th and the fee will be $8. There will be several guest speakers in attendance
with Jim Lauer giving the keynote presentation. Chef Craig will be serving
lunch. The Center hopes to gain 200 participants for this event.
B. Toy Barn Raffle- Bob would be willing to offer wood crafts to raise money for
the Center or special causes. September stated that if we did some sort of raffle
we would need a gaming license. Another possibility would be to have a silent
auction. September will do some further checking.
C. Other Items- Kathy brought up the idea of having a "Meet the Advisory Board"
event at the Center. Board members felt that they were visible enough and that
it could be incorporated into an already existing event like the volunteer
luncheon. After some discussion about the public using Senior Center bulletin
boards, Julie made a motion seconded by Bob that we do not allow for profit
groups to use the bulletin board at the Event Center. The board unanimously
agreed. All postings need Kathy or September's prior approval.
VI. Adj ournment: Liz made a motion to adj ourn at 11: 18am with a second from
Lorraine. The motion passed.
Next Meeting: Monday, October 17th, at 10:00 a.m.
John McRaith, Secretary
