EXTRA SPECIAL EVENT SEPT 22-OCT 9, 2020
MN CLUB HAS A FABULOUS CRUISE COMING UP IN
SEPT 22/OCT 9 OF 2020.
YOU HAVE TO GET ON BOARD WITH THIS ASAP!
We started planning this cruise last spring. As this viewing, we have 26 MN Club members “cruising’! We will also welcome friends and family. As we understand it, it is very difficult to book this type of cruise because this is prime time for the fall colors. You will need to call Maria, who is the amazing cruise advisor in charge of this exciting cruise. All of her information is on the cruise brochure.
That’s all they wrote!
It sounds like a fun season.
We hope you have a safe, healthy Summer,
and are raring to join us in the Fall.
Join us as often as you can!
Your MN Club Board
Planning fun for you!
