A. Tours- Julie Jensen reported that a tour to Black Bear Lodge in Baxter for dinner
and a show at the Jasper theater was sold out and that they had a very good time.
The annual state fair trip scheduled for September 1st has 22 people registered
and Julie would like to see that number hit 30. The October mystery tour is sold
out. A November tour will head to the Paramount Theater in St. Cloud for a
performance of show tunes and lunch at a local golf course. December 9th will
bring a visit to the Basilica of St. Mary to hear the National Lutheran Choir and
eat at a Japanese restaurant where the food is prepared while you watch. Julie is
still working on a potential tour to see the Vikings stadium in January but is
having a hard time getting answers from their corporate office. In March she has
scheduled a trip to the College of St. Benedict to see the U.S. Navy Concert Band
perform.

will feature pork riblets along with create your own sundaes. Next month will
feature meatballs and veggies. The movie for this month was "I Saw the Light"
and next week's travel feature is about the Caspian Sea. Next month "Black and
White" will be showing at the Center with "Great British Castles" as the travel
presentation. The August 10th kayaking event was called off due to bad weather.
