11:30 AM Call to Order
Cheryl LeJune called the meeting to order and welcomed members and guests. Corrections were made
to the March minutes. Anne Criddle asked that those in attendance clearly write their names on the
attendance sheet to keep from having them spelled wrong in the minutes. Also, that members email
their reports to her when they have something to present, in order to have these recorded correctly.
Committee Reports:
Curriculum
Time is running short to finalize the Fall Curriculum….just another week. September and October look
good…..but we need more classes for November and December.
If you have scheduled one or two classes….thank you….but that really isn’t enough. Let’s look at the
numbers. Fall Semester covers 15 weeks. Assuming that we try to book a morning class and an
afternoon class on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and one afternoon class on Wednesday that
means 9 class slots per week x 15 weeks = 135 class slots. Even when you take into account the multi-
part classes such as Mah Jongg, Dominoes, Art, Senior Guidance and others….that still leaves at least 80
unique slots. I’m asking each committee member to keep working toward getting more speakers.
Don’t just say – “that would make a good class” – get out there and make the arrangements to make it a
reality.
Once you have a committed speaker you have conquered the hardest part…..but you are not finished. I
need you to complete the Speaker Info Sheet and email it to me. Completing the Speaker Info Sheet
should take only 5 minutes…..just fill in the requested information on you as the facilitator and the
speaker’s contact info and give a brief description of the class.
So the word of the day is H E L P ! ALL members have been very enthusiastic about classes and
events…..let’s keep that spirit going.

St. Luke’s Hospital at the Vintage may be willing to offer health classes on Tuesday evenings, 6-7PM.
Maybe these could be opened up to the public.

2. Bus Trips
Our trip on March 27 was to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. We had lunch first at
Nutty Brown’s. Unfortunately the service could have been better. It did not seem like the restaurant was
prepared for us, despite Carol Edward’s several phone calls to them. The tour of the Wildflower Center
was excellent, though. However, several people forgot to show up. We left with 5 empty seats. In the
future, we will encourage those on the wait list to show up at check-in time with the correct cash as one
or two no-shows is not unusual.
On May 16 we will have sign up for four bus trips. They are as follows, along with the person responsible
for the planning:
June 2 - Nacogdoches - Liz Gannon
July 19 - Waco - Carol Edwards Texas Ranger Museum and Mammoth Site
Aug 9 - Telephone Museum & Houston Museum of Natural Science - Sharon Samson
Sept 13- Bellville/ Newman's Castle - Marsha Dugger

Events
Summer Open House and Ice Cream Social is on May 16, from 3:00 to 5:00pm. I will be sending emails
to ask for volunteers for the event. I need 22 volunteers. I am sending a request to 30 members. Focus
Day on May 2 needs four volunteers. We will also register for Summer classes at this time in the
Conference Center.

Focus Day: Judge Emmett and Commissioner Radack are confirmed. I will make contact this week to
determine if there are any equipment needs but I anticipate none. Many thanks to Susan for doing a
great job of coordinating everything. I need to know who is in charge of registration. (Connie Chuisano

The most wonderful part of ALL is the way everyone pitches in and works together to get the job done.
Thanks to all for everything you have done in helping to get this program together. It's a real "team"
event and its success will be due to all our efforts. Thank you.
Peggy Presnell, Focus Day Chair
Heritage Liaison
Arrangements for the Focus Day on May 2 at Heritage Lodge at Towne Lake are quickly
progressing. Friendswood Development Company has planned the menu for our complimentary lunch,
printed 250 copies of the program, and will provide a surprise giveaway for each attendee. A tour of
Heritage Lodge and Village Builders' model homes in Heritage is being planned. More details are
discussed in Peggy Presnell's report.
