If you have been on any of the Activities bus trips, you have seen Jeanne’s videos. She is clean, funny humor, that everyone can identify with. She has hilarious stories about ordering a vanilla milkshake, sending her husband to the grocery store, and left-brain. She makes you laugh about shopping for her size; she is 6-foot-2-inches tall, and you will love her stories told in her Southern drawl. The concert is at Family Arena in St. Charles. We are leaving early for shopping and dinner before the show. Cost is $84 for motorcoach and GREAT seats on the floor. Dinner on your own. Depart West End Schnuck’s at 3 p.m. Return approximately 10 p.m.
