Moving into Moving
Como Park West Picnic Grounds, St Paul, MN, USIn person at Como Park in St. Paul – West Picnic Grounds, near the SE corner of the parking lot (near the restroom building)
Rovers are movers — hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, skiing, skating, climbing — and your moving Rover body deserves a bit of recuperation after a morning on your bike, an afternoon on the trail, or a day in your kayak. So tonight we will try out some exercises to rejuvenate muscles tired out from repeating the same actions for hours and hopefully refresh the whole body for your next adventure.
Bring a fitness or yoga mat.

Rovers First Tuesdays – A Social-Only Meeting
Westwood Hills Nature Center, 8300 W Franklin Ave, St Louis Park, MN, USIn person only at the Aspen Room at Westwood Hills Nature Center, 8300 W. Franklin Ave., St. Louis Park, MN 55426
Note that this meeting starts at 6:00 p.m.
First Tuesdays is about making connections! There is no presentation. Instead, we gather for a potluck at 6:00. At 7:00, we gather at tables to learn about specific topics, play games, or catch up with friends! Last month, there was lots of great conversation and connecting!
Schedule:
6:00 PM Potluck Supper. Bring an item to share and don’t forget a serving utensil! If ingredients are hard to identify, indicate them to help people with dietary restrictions. While all desserts would be nummy, it’s not very nutritious. Help us to have a variety of food by indicating what you will likely bring. You can always change your mind. POTLUCK SIGN-UP HERE.
Please also provide your own beverage, plate, and utensils.
7:00 PM Visit topic tables, play games, or chat with friends! Tables will be set up so you can learn more about various topics. There will always be a New Member table and a Game table (bring your favorite board or yard game!). Additional topics will depend on the interests of those attending. Anyone can host a table.
Reconnect with old friends and meet new ones! Feel free to invite guests to join us!
