IV. Old Business
th
A.Tours- Julie Jensen reported that an April 6 Minnetonka choral concert went
th
over well and had 36 participants. On May 4 a group of 23 will travel to the
th
Twin Cities for an Olympian Ice Show. The May 17 tour to Hudson, Wisconsin
th
to see a musical biography of the Righteous Brothers is sold out. The June 20
split tour to one of two destinations- Como Park or a back to the ‘50’s car show at
the fairgrounds has been cancelled due to a lack of interest. A July cruise in
Duluth is filling rapidly, while a state fair visit in August and a mystery tour in
September are on tap.
B.Update on Programs- September reported that the movie “12 Years a Slave”
went over well and that it was a good history lesson. The “One Book One
Community” event was very nice and the Event Center was a great location for
thst
the large group. The movie “Monuments Men” will air on May 20 and 21 at
th
1:00pm. Travel at a Glance will feature “Wings of Life” on May 12.
V.Business
A.Sound System- September had Larry Dostal from Dostal Electronics provide
information about speakers for the program room. A commercial grade system
would cost around $900 and would still be functional if moved to a larger room.
Harriet made a motion seconded by Darlene to purchase and install the system
in the current movie room. The motion was approved.
B. Concession Stand Fundraiser- The concession stand raised $64 at the coin
nd
auction. The next one will be August 2. Prices may be increased for this
event.
C. Concerts- September was contacted by some people who would like to put on
an Everly Brothers concert at the Event Center. They agreed to a 60/40 split so
th
the date was set for Saturday, September 6. We now have four concerts
scheduled for September through December.
D. Other- The board had some questions about evening rentals. During a
discussion about publicizing events the topic of an electronic sign on the side of
the Senior Center building was brought up. September may check around to see
what the rules are and how much something like that would cost.
VI. Adjournment: Warren made a motion to adjourn at 11:04 am with a second from Curt.
The motion passed.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 19th at 10:00 a.m.
