Welcome Minnesotans!
We're starting our 2022/2023 season in October. We've got entertainment booked for the whole season and have listed them below . Due to the higher cost of entertainment we've raised our annual dues to $10 pp
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!
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 2022
MINNESOTA CLUB
Monday, Oct. 17, 2022
Laurel Manor
Doors open at 6:30pm
Meeting starts at 7pm
We have a brief business meeting and an introduction of new members.
Please BYOB and a snack to share at your table. Ice and water will be provided.
We run 50/50 at all regular meetings. The 50% the club keeps goes into our general fund to help 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 requires $1’s and $5’s. The couple collecting the money truly appreciates your helpfulness!
Entertainment this evening is:
"Tight Genes" the name of a trio of singing siblings - Karen Jon and Linda - in The Villages, FL. They sang as teenagers back in Kentucky. Once they all moved here, the trio immediately started singing again. They are laid back, fun, and have a great variety of song. But what really sets them apart is the blend of familial harmonies - making their singing so special.

We'll be tapping our feet and singing right along with them!
Dance in the aisles if you wish!

Denese Kruse and Marcy Solomonson saw him perform in an "entertainment review." He is a very talented performer and truly understands how to entertain an audience. His versatility and song selection are excellent. Plus he has the ability to sound like the original artist, that is a special talent.

We welcome Glen Foster!
Glen’s act is not just a string of one-liners with a little magic thrown in, but an intricate, interwoven pattern of humorous and often thought-provoking ideas and observations. His delivery alternates between laid back, low key musing and sudden explosive ranting. He’s topical, political, and occasionally even “politically incorrect”. Most of all though, he’s just very very funny.
March 21 Special Event - Night Golf
Coming up soon is the MN Club Night Golf on Tuesday, March 21st, at 5:30 PM at Saddlbrook. This is a tailgate party as well. BYOB and hearty appetizer or something to share. This will probably be your dinner, so keep that in mind. Plates, napkins, and utensil will be provided. Please help with cleanup before we head out on the course. Please make sure you secure the dishes and containers that you brought with you. Fantastic cash prized will be awarded to the 'best' golfer teams. This is really fun event and we want to make sure everyone has a good time.
