Our program on September 4th was a presentation by Alison Edwards. Alison is a professional actress, and she, and two partners, have started a nonprofit called Prime Productions.                                             
 
Their group noted that all of the roles for women over the age of fifty were very limited in number, and they were basically stereotypes. It is their mission to convince theater producers and authors to increase the number of roles available, and to make the roles have substance. They have a website (primeprod.org) that tells the whole story. Starting October 6th, they will have a production on stage at the Guthrie entitled “Two Degrees” which will highlight their cause.
 
Our Program on September 11th was a Club Outing at the Whirlyball Court in Maple Grove. Lovingly called the Whirlyball Senior Classics of the Red and Yellow teams going head to head (or cart to cart) in bumper cars trying to score goals with whiffle balls.  The competition was intense and rough with the Yellow Team being the victors and tim Litfin and Don Draayer being the high scorers.  The event was followed with Pizza and beer and joy from all 12 members that were able to participate.
