turkey meal provided by LaMane's Catering and played cards (31 seniors attended).
On November 7, 2000 I attended a joint programming meeting with Chaska Community
Education, Waconia Community Education and Westview Acres. Both Chaska
Community Education and Waconia Community Education expressed concern abont the
