Salad super finishes the year

A good group gathered at Ardelle Torkelsons' for our annual salad supper.  It was a beautiful evening, and quite a few choose to eat outside. 
Diana Pecoraro, community poet for St. Louis Park was the speaker for the program.  Although I couldn't stay, I heard she was going to encourage attendees to play with writing a verse or two.  If any members are brave enough, please reply and share a poem.

Pics from State Convention in Duluth

From business meetings, to social times for meeting friends, to awards, to the LAF silent auction, to blowing bubbles (?), there was a lot of activity at the State Convention April 29-30.  Here are a few pictures from the event.

Music therapy is April topic

About 25 members gathered on April 21 to hear Hilary Fredenburg discuss the value of music therapy in treating a number of emotional, social, and physical conditions that people experience in their lives. Hilary is a board-certified music therapist at McPhail School of Music. She covered a lot of ground in a short time, but everyone felt they learned something new.
