Old Business
1 The movies have been scheduled for the next several viewings. February will be
"Mama Mia,"April will be "The Great Debate,"June will be "Gran Torino,"August,
"Taking Chance,"And October, "Monster House". There was discussion on how the
movies are chosen and if there is input from the seniors. Bonnie Schradel will check on
this.
2. Parks and Rec catalog comes out early in December. Rita Murphy asked about the
possibility of only registering for a certain class such as walking or using the pool, and if
there can be a monthly fee rather than a yearly fee. Tim Evans explained that there are
those possibilities and also that people can pay the yearly fee on a monthly basis.
3. The Knights of Columbus have the menu set for the Thanksgiving Dinner to be held
Nov. 19th. They need some guidelines. There will be 165 attending and Bob Skidmore
needs to know the times the building will be available for them to bring items over,
possibly moving some of the refrigerated foods over on Thursday afternoon. Serving will
be at 11:15 a.m. They have 240 pounds of turkey that are being prepared. He also asked
about coffee carafes to be on the tables and coffee pots to make the coffee. Glory Spies
brought over raffle tickets and a box to put them in for the drawings for the several items
that have been donated.
New Business
Rita Murphy stated there is a problem in the building with the heating. It is very cold
when people arrive in the morning and there is no way to adjust the heat. There is also a
problem with the Scout group that uses the building on Thursday nights. This past week,
they left small beads all over the floor, which is dangerous for anyone, much less older
people. They also have been messing up desks in the Senior Services area, banging on the
piano, playing with the Bingo machine, and once even turning the dial on the freezer up
to a warmer temperature. When contacted by Senior Services the scout leaders all claim it
wasn't their group there that evening. Glory will check on this.
Additional Business -None
Bonnie Olsem made a motion to adjourn, Bob Skidmore seconded. Meeting adjourned.
Next meeting—Monday, January 24, 8:30 a.m.. at Beecher Center
