Send us an email MNClub@comcast.net with your preference or someone you would recommend!
Please BYOB. Water and ice will be provided.
We recommend that you bring chairs, a small table, umbrellas, those square awning things, and whatever you need to stay cool. It's pretty warm here in April. Although, last year was rather cool... Weather, gotta live with it!
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!
We will serve our picnic at 6 PM. You are welcome to stay as long as you wish after eating. There may be some give-a-ways, and we'll say thanks for supporting us by attending meetings and getting involved in our events. It will be the usual "Minnesota Goodbye” don’t ya know!
