A Note from our President –

One day the furnace is kicking in, the next it’s the air conditioner! Autumn in Minnesota means being prepared for anything. Get prepared for a fun month ahead with ENC.

There’s always something “lovin’ from the oven” at Ann’s house. Join us there for this month’s Coffee. On Ladies Night Out we’ll check out the new McCormick and Schmicks at the Galleria.

We’ll take a quick trip to China on International Night here at Sally’s. And enjoy a taste of authentic Cuban cuisine at Victor’s Café 1959 at this month’s Luncheon.

See you there! Sally Sally@Edinanewcomers.org

The book offers insights into rural life at the time, a short history of quilting, and, for good measure, a murder is tossed into the mix. Copies are readily available at the library.
