IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Last tour of the year was held last Sunday. September and Julie met
with RJ tours. There will be a $350 minimum on all future trips. Three trips are
planned for 2007 at this time. A January 23rd "Gangster" tour to St. Paul, an
Old Log theater trip on February ih, and a trip to the Chanhassen Dinner
Theater to see "Easter Parade" on March 7th. An April 3rd trip to the Macy's
Flower Show is being planned along with a few other tours at this time.
B. Update on Programs- The holiday party had a sparse showing with 27 people
attending but went well. A Texas Hold 'Em card tournament is coming up next
month with a Red Hat tea scheduled in February. The Christmas Angels group
will begin meeting all year long. The Book Club has 19 members, which is
rather large, but they have decided to stay as one large group for the foreseeable
future.
C. Hometown Realty Sponsorship- September indicated that Hometown Realty
may be interesting in helping to sponsor the Senior Newsletter but she hasn't
had a chance to contact them yet.
D. New Advisory Board Member- Cliff Swanson is being recommended by the
board to fill the spot vacated by Liz. The necessary paperwork will be
forwarded to City Center.
E. Annual Internet and Coffee Fees- The cost for coffee this past year is
approximately $400. The internet fees have yet to be determined.
V. New Business
A. Donation Items- Weare looking to raise funds by having seniors donate items.
So far we have received on a couple small items. A Pizzelle Baker was sold this
past month and the funds donated to the Center.
B. Pool Table- September reported that the pool table is still available for sale.
Since there is space available to store it, at this time we would expect an offer of
at least $500 in order to sell it.
C. Other- Liz noted that Seniors renting the Event Center have an expectation that
a Christmas tree will be present during the holiday season. The entire board
thanked Liz for her many years of service to 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, January 22nd at 10:00 a.m.
