EVENT UPDATE
On November 15, 35 Boomers and Beyond members and guests enjoyed a delicious soup and salad lunch at Pax Christi and then carpooled to Eden Prairie High School. The students in the drama department entertained all the theater lovers with their production of the Musical, Legally Blonde.  It was a fun-filled afternoon.  

A reminder to all that our Christmas Party is scheduled for December 16 and registration must be in by December 6!  We hope to see many of you there.  You are always welcome to bring a guest.

We still need four additional people to help set up for this event at 9:00am on Friday, December 15.  Also needed are six volunteers to assist with clean-up on Saturday following the event.  You can let us know if you are available to help at First Friday, or please call Dave or Mary Loew, 952-946-0160.  Thanks!.

With their wide range of repertoire and energetic choreography, they are sure to delight any audience.
Our menu will begin with cranberry pinwheels appetizers, followed by oriental salad, dinner roll, ham, cheesy potatoes, and green beans. Dessert will be a Santa brownie.  As a bonus, there will be a drawing for door prizes after the entertainment. You must be present to win. The fun will end around 2:30.
