I. The meeting was called to order at 10:06 a.m. by Chairman Carrol Olson
II. Secretary’s Report: The November minutes were examined. Louise made a motion to
approve the minutes and Rick seconded the motion. Motion was approved.
III. Treasurer’s Report: September reported a balance of $9790.92. She put together a
summation of all the different programs and their finances for the year. Card sales
was a big winner with almost $2000 in net profits. Dance floor rentals brought in
another $980 and tax donations amounted to $546. The pool concessions netted $696
while the dish rental was the largest item with an income of $2838. Cliff made a
motion to accept the report with a second from Louise. The motion passed.
IV. Old Business
A.Tours- Julie reported that the last tour attended a Christmas pageant at North
Heights in Arden Hills and was without incident. She will be hosting a trip to
Olivia in January to enjoy “Potroast on the Prairie” and visit a restored church.
This trip is nearly full. A visit to the Old Log Theater to see “Dixie Swim
Club” is on tap for February and currently has 31 participants. In March we
will be heading to the Paramount Theater in St. Cloud to see the Kingston Trio
perform and this trip currently has 37 people signed up. A trip to Macy’s and
Bachman’s for flower shows is being planned for April. May brings a visit to
the Plymouth Playhouse and June will involve a tour to Target Field for a Twins
game. Another group will travel to Spicer in July for a cruise on Green Lake
and August will provide this year’s Mystery Tour. Julie has other events in the
preparation stage through the end of the year.
B.Update on Programs- September reviewed the various programs that were held
in 2009 and summarized them with financial and attendance reports. Dances
are big concern as attendance is dropping and these events lost money for the
year. There is the possibility that we may cut back on the number of dances to
try and create greater numbers for the remaining ones. The Fellowship dinners
may have to go up by one dollar to cover increased costs. Bone Builders is
looking for an additional day at the Center as attendance has been spectacular.
The movies continue to be popular as September attempts to mix classics with
newly released shows. She would like to get ideas on how to get more men
involved at the Center and is always on the lookout for programming to their
liking.
V.New Business
A.Other- No new business was presented.
B.Board Members for 2010- Cliff Swanson and Louise Jessen began serving new
three year terms.
VI. Adjournment: Cliff made a motion to adjourn at 11:15am with a second from Rick.
The motion passed.
Next Meeting: Monday, February 22nd at 10:00 a.m.
John McRaith, Secretary
