​

    Welcome  Minnesotans!


   We're starting our 2021/2022 season in October.  We believe that this is a safe time to start.  We've got entertainment booked for the whole season and have listed them below.  
​Keep safe and healthy everyone!   


Our regular meeting nights are the 3rd Monday from Oct. - April  at Laurel Manor at 7 PM (Doors open at 6:30.)  We visit, catch-up, and enjoy some great entertainment. 

Please wear your name badge to each and every meeting, it’s always "Minnesota nice" to greet everyone by name!  And we'll let you know before each meeting whether there are any restrictions in place because of the virus.

Another note, extra events will be added as we find interesting things to do.  Emails will be sent out.  Please respond if you are interested.  It will not be a commitment, but will give us an idea if we should pursue an event.



​OCTOBER 2021
Monday, Oct. 18  Doors open at 6:30 PM.  Meeting starts at 7 PM  

We are very excited to have the Sugar Lump Sisters performing for us!  More info to follow!

 

Before the performance, we will have a brief business meeting and an introduction of new members.  Due to Covid, stuff has changed.  We will not be having tables. So no sharing snacks.  There won't be any ice for awhile. You may bring drinks and snacks for yourselves.  So there will be a lot of fumbling around, etc.  We'll do what we can until we get back to normal! 
​Then it's on to enjoying these special sisters!
​
We run 50/50 at all regular meetings.  The 50% the club keeps goes into our general fund to pay for entertainment at regular meetings.  We try to keep the entertainment free at our meetings.  Also we would appreciate correct bills for the 50/50 which is 1’s and 5’s.  The couple collecting the money truly appreciates your helpfulness!  

At this time, Masks will be required when entering and leaving the MN Club Meeting room.

The story of the Dorels is a familiar Villages’ tale about people from different backgrounds joining forces to find harmony and live out their dreams.   All it took was the combination of a retired police officer, school principal, registered nurse, computer analyst and IBM manager. Put them all together and you get The Dorels!  You'll be royally entertained!​

                 Monday, April 18    5 PM till Whenever!

We will have our annual picnic again at Laurel Manor out by the pavilion.  No entertainment is planned.  We'll just enjoy each other's company and get our fingers all sticky with Oakwood’s delicious ribs and chicken. We will also have baked beans, cole slaw, rolls, and cookies.  The picnic cost hasn't been determined yet.  Please BYOB.  Water and ice will be provided, hopefully...

We recommend that you bring chairs, a small table,  shade umbrellas, and whatever you need to stay cool or keep warm! 
                     You never know with Florida weather! 
You are welcome to take advantage of all the ball courts.  There is pickle ball, shuffleboard, horseshoe, and bocce.  You might even want to bring along some cards.  However, just chatting is perfectly fine, too!

In case it rains, we will move in to our regular room in Laurel Manor and enjoy an inside picnic!  Should this happen, we’ll start inside at 5:30 PM.
