Important Announcement – January Dance!

After taking a break for the Trek 50 year, we'll be back on January 28th for our 15th January Dance event!

The cost remains $35, even after all these years! Your evening will include social hour, a lovely buffet dinner, dancing to our favorite DJ Rob, and a cash bar. We'll be at a new venue - the Dan Patch American Legion in Savage - and we'll begin our social hour at 6:00 p.m. Dinner will follow at about 7:00 with dancing from 8:00 to midnight.

This has been one of our most well-attended events for years. We hope this new location will be just as fun! For this event, family and friends are welcome. The more, the merrier!

Most importantly, you must turn in your payment by the January meeting and WE NEED TO KNOW YOU'RE COMING. You can bring the payment to the Holiday Party, mail it to me, or bring it to the meeting in January. Plus, please let me know ASAP that you intend to come so we can get an accurate count.

Dinner and Lyric Arts Theater This Saturday

On This Saturday, January 16th we are going out for a nice evening of dinner and a play. The play is The 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee, a Tony Award winning play that is supposed to be a hoot. Guests under the age of 14 are not allowed, so no little kids (isn't that intriguing?)! You may go online at www.lyricarts.org for more information. Tickets may be purchased by phone at 763-422-1838, and you'll want to reserve early in case they sell out the evening performance. Specify that you're with the USS Nokomis so they'll seat you by the group.

Dinner will be at Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano in The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes. Our reservation is for 3:30 pm. Check it out at www.biaggis.com.

If we're done dinner and still have time to kill, Phill and Lynne have invited us to their home for a warm place to stay.  Contact Phill for directions if you don't already know where they are.  Expect that the after dinner crowd won't arrive there until 5:30 or so.

The show starts at 7:30 PM in the Anoka Downtown area.

Let Mary know if you're coming, we want to make the reservations right!
