IV. Old Business
A. Tours- Julie 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. The February 5th tour to the Ames Center in
Burnsville for another rendition of"Church Basement Ladies"was one short of a
sellout but encountered very bad weather. The bus got back to Hutchinson two
hours late. Upcoming events include "Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney
Musical" at the Old Log Theater which currently has 26 registered, the Hudson
House in Hudson, Wisconsin which has 33 registered and "Mama Mia" at the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater.

activities but that they will be using different rooms. The board took a tour of the
various rooms associated with the Senior Center to survey the repairs taking place
after the water pipe break. It may be another month before everything has been
repaired and all the rooms are usable again. We will be hosting mini golf again
during spring break on March 15 from 1-4p and March 16 from 12-3p.
