This group is aimed at forming a community of the many Asian-Americans and allies living in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where we can build meaningful connections and celebrate the rich, cultural heritage and diversity of Asian Americans.
We are: people of Asian-American/Pacific Islander descent and allies who appreciate community and good food! Our group is a safe and inclusive space for people of East, Southeast, South Asian or Pacific Islander descent, including those who are adoptees or bi/multi-racial.
Join us to explore the Twin Cities, make new friends, and of course, eat great food. We look forward to meeting you!

See all- RIVER TUBING @ Welch Mill, Cannon River!Welch Mill Canoeing & Tubing , Welch, MN
Let's go RIVER TUBING at Welch Mill on Cannon River, great way to cool off in these hot summer days, and it's tons of fun! Fingers crossed for sunny weather. Feel free to bring your friends/guests, the more the merrier.
BE ON TIME to help us facilitate large group check-in, getting tubes and bus loading. *We will wait about 15 mins after start time (11:15am) before we board the bus. Latecomers will probably have to float with other people there (not recommended to float by yourself).
The bus will take us up-river and we will float down 5 miles to the ticketing area. Probably 2 hours depending on river flow and an extra hour or so for tubes logistics. *Cellphone reception is pretty sporadic there, so plan ahead with communication.
Welch only accepts CASH payment: $20/tube Sunday (bring your own tube but still pay their tube rate). We can bring own tube for our cooler box no charge or split extra tube cost. Need an ID to deposit with Welch when you check in by yourself, or check in with our group under group leader's ID.
You could deposit your car keys with the ticketing office, or bring with you in zipped waterproof bags in the cooler box etc. Leave all other valuables at home/in the car for safety. Plenty of free parking including overflow parking. *Carpooling is recommended as it adds to the road trip adventure. Add a location note in the comments below if looking for carpool or you can offer to drive.
Things to Bring:
* Cash $20 for tube (+$ if splitting extra cooler box tube cost)
* Your cold beverage (no glass bottles), sandwich lunch and snacks (take your trash home).
* Wear swimwear with t-shirt layer (water may be cold), sunglasses, hat/cap, water sandals (rocky shore), sunscreen, bath towels, change of clothes. Please use sun protection for the long river float :)
* You may bring a small boom box for music and cellphone for pictures, just make sure they are packed in waterproof bags. Be mentally prepared to drop/lose something in the river, so bring cheap sunglasses etc. only LOL.https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=welch%20mill%20canoeing%20%26%20tubing
