IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Julie Jensen reported the August tour to Scandia was sold out and there
were no issues. A State Fair trip is planned for early September with 29 people
registered so far. The mystery tour for October is already sold out with 15 on a
waitlist. There was an issue with people purchasing tickets for others that did not
get into line in time so the board voted unanimously to limit ticket purchases to
two per person. September will look into getting a computer for Julie to use for
trip planning. In November we have a tour to the Raptor Center at the U of M,
which will also include stops at the restored Depot and a driving tour of Fort
Snelling. A Frank Sinatra review at the Plymouth Playhouse is scheduled for
December.
