Pg 8 Lesley Young Recreation Programmer Club Prior lyoung@cityofpriorlake.com February and March are always tricky months in the State of Minnesota. They can be a teaser for what s coming right around the corner as far as green grass and sunshine or we can settle in for the most bitter cold weather the state has seen. Looks like Mother Nature is going to let us ride out her cold weather for a while first before she let s us enjoy a beautiful MN spring! Never fear...club Prior always has the hot coffee pot on and something warm to do inside with friends looking to do the same. We have some great exercise classes that you can take for FREE or dancing in the evening to get your blood moving. We are kicking off the new year with some exciting trips around the city and state with many more to be published in future issues of the Club Prior Press. We hope that you can join us for the Forget Me Not: Keeping The End In Mind event that Club Prior is partnering with the Scott County Library on bringing Alzheimer's awareness to our community. Check out the back page for more information. Once the summer catalog hits your mailbox you will be able to register for any of the events that are listed. Don t wait to register for the events that are held in late summer as they can fill up very quickly. Please call me if you have any questions about any of our tours, events or activities.
