Book club
Mary Knatterud is the North Central Chapter Book Club Coordinator. E-mail Mary at MKna….
We will continue to meet at 11 a.m. at The Egg & I (2550 University Avenue, in the northwest corner of the old International Harvester building, now renovated, just west of Highway 280 near the Minneapolis-St. Paul border — with 2 free parking lots, a small one north of the restaurant and a large one east of it).
RSVP by 9 a.m. on Book Club Monday, so that I can call ahead to have a table waiting for us.
