Regular Council Meeting Minutes 1-20-09 Page 9 able and interested to attend. We have one of our residents, Joanne Smakula who participated in the superstar contest and was a semi-finalist. She will be performing tomorrow at 2:00 in the Community Room. There is no charge. Refreshments will be served. The next program we will have Brian Cinco, another one of our semi-finalists on February 4th. We had mostly speakers, so we thought we would try some entertainment. We will have a nurse from the Sight Center on February 18th. We are taking names for the AARP tax assistance program. We have not yet learned how much time and how many people they are going to allot us. We probably have about 10 people .who want this service. Hopefully we will be able to accommodate all of them. We will have an AARP safe driving class again this spring in June. For the first time in 27 years, we have had to raise our charge for coming to the card group from 25 cents to 50 cents. Some of the people said, "It's about time!" some others were not quite as impressed with that and Mrs. Kalina said anyone that had special circumstances, she would be happy to meet with them. We are doubling what we take in. As Mrs. Kalina explained, anyone who goes to a grocery store or someplace to buy cups and napkins knows that no price has remained the same for 27 years. That's our little bit for helping the economy. Mrs. Kalina reported that we have some trips coming up in the spring -. April 9th to the Cleveland Playhouse; May 15th Carrie Cerrino's for lunch and a program called Red Hot and Blue and on June 19th we will go to the Maltz Museum and Eton Collection.
