Between funds raised that went to the City and to the Advisiory Board over $8300
was collected in 2018. Fundraisers included chair cover rental, china flatware rental,

IV. Old Business
A. Tours- September reported that the trip to the Paramount Theater in St. Cloud to
see a tribute entitled "Remembering Bobby Vee"went fine even though the
weather was not very cooperative. On the 5th of February a tour is scheduled to
the Ames Center in Burnsville for another rendition of"Church Basement
Ladies." Upcoming events include "Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical"
at the Old Log Theater, and "Mama Mia" at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater.
B. Update on Programs- September reported that the monthly Fellowship Dinner
will be cancelled for tomorrow evening due to the extremely cold weather. The
January movie was "Mama Mia! Here We Go Again". The February movie
hasn't been chosen yet but a DVD of"Murder on the Crow"will be the bonus
movie. The book clubs do a nice job of running independently. There was some
discussion about people requesting to be informed about certain activities without
purchasing the newsletter. The board was in agreement that the newsletter is our
communication tool and people should subscribe to it if they want to be informed
about programs they are interested in. Outings for cross country skiing and
snowshoeing have been set for February 13th and March 18th.
V. Business
A. New Board Member/Departing Member- The board welcomed new member Al
Barkeim who is replacing Don Schroeder. Don completed his second term in
December. It was also announced that Judy Simons will be leaving the board
due to the relocation of her family to another community.
B. Concert- We are still looking for a spring concert possibility. Molly B is at the
top of the list along with The Shadows who performed last spring. September
will follow up and see about date availability and cost.
C. Volunteer Brunch- After some discussion it was determined that the volunteer
brunch will be held on Monday, April 29th at the Event Center. This annual
gathering is intended as a thank you to all the volunteers who help out
throughout the year.
D. Other- The monthly drawing for Fellowship Dinner tickets went to Marge
Block.
VI. Adjournment: Mike made a motion to adjourn at 11:15 am with a second from Kay.
The motion passed. The Senior Advisory Board's next regularly scheduled business
meeting will be held on Monday, February 25, at 10:00am.
