IV. Old Business
A. Tours- The Crown Chapel tour had 35 participants and was very enjoyable.
The Andrew Sisters tour was last week and it went very well also. Julie did a
great job of giving some historical background on the sisters. Upcoming tours
include a January 27th trip to the Women's Expo, a February trip to see "West
Side Story" at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and a March Candy & Flowers
trip. Julie reported that several people have indicated an interest in seeing
"Church Basement Ladies" at the Plymouth Playhouse. She could plan at trip,
but they don't have any openings until May. The board felt that this would be a
good opportunity to pursue. Julie reported that R & J Tours has been very good
at providing quality transportation and drivers who were well prepared.
B. Program Update- The Christmas Holiday party was held last Friday.
Hutchinson seventh graders did a talent show. The fifth and sixth graders from
St. Anastasia sang also. The newsletter was delayed at the post office this
month due to heavy Christmas mailings. The board discussed the possibility of
sending December's newsletter first class in the future to avoid this problem. A
dance will be held in January.
C. Cards- The sale of cards amounted to $193.20 for November.
D. Dancing- There is no dance scheduled for December.

the two departing board members- Chairman Jim Hanson and Treasurer
Lorraine Zajicek. They served on the board with enthusiasm and provided
excellent leadership. Their presence will be missed.
