October Community Meeting

[MNFursStaff]

The next MNFurs open forum community meeting is being held at Lynde’s Restaurant in Osseo on Tuesday, August 7th at 7pm. We are trying out a new venue in the north metro area for this Community Meeting and would love your feedback about the location.

For those that have not attended a MNFurs Community Forum meeting, these open meetings cover past events, future events, general questions, and discussions on how to improve the group and the community.

This is a great way not only to voice your thoughts on future and past MNFurs events but also become more involved and learn how you can help out the community.

As always everyone is welcome to come and participate. An online chat will be available and announced the night of for those who wish to participate remotely on our local website chat.

Date: Tuesday October 7th
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Location: Lynde’s Restaurant – 209 County Road 81, Osseo Map
Food: American Diner – Homestyle Meals
Cost: $10-15 per entree, very reasonable for the portions you get.
Fursuit Friendly?: No

Now I am sure that is a typo but shouldn’t that read for October, not August for the main bit of info?

[Eratosthenes]

Hmm, that’s close to where I work, but I don’t get a long enough lunchbreak.

I will be at the meeting to broadcast and moderate the online chat. Stay tuned to the chat and I will announce when I have it going.

Come say hi on the MNFurs Discord!

Posts on the MNFurs forums are of my own opinion and do not reflect that of MNFurs or chartered events unless otherwise stated.

Not attending due to it being very north for me…TinyChat is a possibility though.

Also, shouldn’t this thread be in the Meeting Notes and Times sub-forum?  Just inquiring because I noticed it is currently in Events.

Technically it probably should be over there. A lot more people see it if it’s in events. But from technical yes it should be there.

Feel free to ask questions because I'm here for you!
