The members of the St Cloud Pagan community (yes we are here) are coming together for a meeting on Saturday November the 13 from 3-5 at the Saint Cloud Unitarian Universalist Fellowship,3226 Maine Prairie Road, Saint Cloud, MN. We are hoping to meet new people and create a community here like the great folks of the Twin Cities have. We would love to see new faces of those great folks who are in St. Cloud and the surrounding area. It would be great if PNC could give us a hand in letting people know. We would certainly appreciate it. It is a potluck lunch to get to know one another, and share a few laughs, as well as get down to the business of bringing this community.
Sincerely Yours
