Joanne reported on the trip to Austin. Jeane Alexander and Cleta Pierce accompanied the seniors
to Austin. It was a full trip, stopping at several museums plus the activities at the Capitol. We
will start planning for the trip next year to the Capitol. Southlake is going to collaborate with
Keller, Colleyville, and Lewisville in order to be able to offer more trip opportunities to the
seniors. A trip to the Islands of New England in late August is in the works for this year.
Azenda No. 7, Open Forum:
Tom mentioned that perhaps we should sent a note-of appreciation to Robert Williams, Edward
Jones, and to the Greater Southlake Women's Club for their contributions to our Center. Thank
you letters have already been-done; perhaps we could do something else.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 2:00 PM.
