I. The meeting was called to order at 10: 15 a.m. by Chairman John Lyman
II. Secretary's Report: The October 23rd minutes were examined. Liz
made a motion to approve and June seconded the motion. Motion was approved.
III. Treasurer's Report: September reported that October card sales totaled $214.50 while
the dance netted $77. Another dance floor rental brought in $190 while the Christmas
Angels had sales of $133.64. The current bank balance is $9333.79 excluding the

IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Two tours have gone out since our last meeting. Both were sell-outs.
The third bus to Plymouth Playhouse delivered a good play but the meal was
not up to expectations. The Mystery tour to Cold Spring went off without any
difficulties. This year's remaining trips are sold out with waiting lists. The first
is a trip to the Guthrie Theater and the second is an excursion to see "Country
Christmas Celebration" in Lakeville. The Lakeville trip sold out quickly and
now a second date has also sold out. At this time five tours are scheduled for
2007. On January 27th a tour will be heading to the Twin Cities for a look back
to the "Gangsters of St. Paul". On February 7th we will be heading to the Old
Log Theater. On March 7th a tour will take in "Easter Parade" at the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater. April 3rd will take us to the Macy'sIBachman's
flower show and May 8th will send us on a visit to the Amish community in
Harmony, Minnesota.
B. Update on Programs- September reported that someone donated a new Singer
sewing machine to help with the quilting project. The dinner dance is scheduled
for next Monday. The new stove is in and they would like to keep the old stove
for extra space. Wiring for another 220 outlet would be over $500. The board
felt that it would be best to move ahead and get it wired. Randy made the
motion to have another outlet wired with a second from Bob. The motion was
approved.
V. New Business
A. Hometown Realty Sponsorship- Hometown Realty has indicated that they may
be interested in helping to sponsor the senior newsletter. September will check
to see what their interest is and whether the newsletter will have co-sponsors.
Discussion followed about first class postage vs bulk mail. We already do first
class in December because mail is usually slow near the holidays.
B. Advisory Board Member- Cliff Swanson has indicated that he would be
interested in serving on the board. The board agreed to forward his nomination
on to the mayor.
C. Other- September encouraged the board to look forward to 2007 and think about
what changes and improvements could be made at the Senior Center.
VI. Adjournment: Liz made a motion to adjourn at 11 :07am with a second from Phyllis.
The motion passed.
Next Meeting: Monday, December 18th at 10:00 a.m.
John McRaith, Secretary
