full bus. On April 6 there will be a trip to a flower show at Macys, and in
May, a trip to the Plymouth Playhouse. June will host a mystery tour. The
Twins trip is on hold due to the difficulty of getting tickets. A Green Lake tour
is scheduled in July and a trip to the State Fair in August. The Senior Center
th
will also be working with the Recreation Center to host a trip on May 16 to the
Target Center to see Lindsay Whalen play in her first game with the Minnesota
Lynx.

th
seniors. Next up is a discussion of gluten-free diets on April 12. The St.

have now been scheduled through the summer months. Events coming up

volunteer luncheon.

been purchased. The covers will end up costing between $3-4 a piece when

Center. They can be rented for $2 each and will be a great fundraiser.
