IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Julie Jensen reported that a tour was heading out that day to the College
of St. Benedict to see the U.S. Navy Concert Band perform and have lunch on
campus. This tour sold out. An April 1 lth tour to a Glen Miller concert at the
Paramount Theater in St. Cloud is also full. This will be followed up by a May
10th excursion to the Plymouth Playhouse to see the latest Church Basement
Ladies production entitled "Rise Up O Men!" This tour filled very quickly. On
May 22nd a group will travel to Hinckley to have lunch at Toby's and tour the fire
museum. This is a special tour in conjunction with the book that is currently
being read within our community that deals with the fire. There are still a few
openings for this tour. The renovated state capitol will be the focus of a June 13th
outing with lunch at the Cherokee Tavern and a stop at the Abdallah Candy
Factory. This is sold out and has been so popular that a second tour has been
added for August 1st. The next destination will be the Afton House Inn for lunch
and a cruise on the St. Croix river. This event will occur on July 12th. The state
fair trip will be held on August 31st
B. Update on Programs- September reported that this month's fellowship luncheon
will be held tomorrow evening. The April fellowship meal will be held on the
25th and feature cabbage and ham. The movie for this month was "Deepwater
Horizon" as the main feature with "The Walk" as the secondary movie. The
movie for April will be "Loving". "The Secret History of British Gardens" is the
second feature. Tuesday night ping pong is still doing well. Arlis Feser will be
presenting a six session seminar on Mind/Body/Spirit Healing from April 19th
through May 24th from 6:00-7:OOp each Wednesday evening.
V. Business
A. Coffee Cart- Board members were able to view the new coffee cart that Don
has constructed for the Center. A few details still need to be worked out but the
cart should be very functional.
B. Spring Concert- September could use some ticket takers and water servers for
the upcoming concert. The Center has sold 187 tickets for the April 8th concert
performance so it already has been deemed a successful fundraiser.
C. Murder Mystery- The murder mystery dinner is scheduled for June 10th at the
Event Center. September discovered that the caterer will provide servers for a
small additional fee so it looks like we will go that direction with this event.
D. Volunteer Luncheon- The date for the annual volunteer luncheon has been
changed from Tuesday, April 18th to Monday, May Pt to accommodate one of
the chefs that have volunteered to prepare the meal.
E. Other- Warren checked with Walgreens and discovered that they would be
willing to advertise large events such as our concerts on their electronic sign.
This will give us greater visibility at the Center with no added cost.
VI. Adjournment: Curt made a motion to adjourn at 11:15 am with a second from Warren.
The motion passed.
The Senior Advisory Board's next regularly scheduled business meeting will be held on
April 24th at 10:00a.m.
