Dear Weather, Let's pretend it's spring already. Love, the Uptown Havurah

Hey friends. For a while we've been talking about finally doing a non-holiday/Shabbat outdoors event, so we hope you can join us for the first of such events, this coming Sunday, May 15th,  when we'll bike to Minnehaha Falls for a fun afternoon of yoga, eating, and schmoozing.


Those biking: meet at Meredith's (2609 5 Ave S) at 11am.
If we encounter unpleasant weather (rainy and/or cold, this will be our default in-door location)
 
Those coming directly to the picnic: please meet us at the Wabun Picnic Area in Minnehaha Regional Park (right off 46th Ave S, on the east side, towards the Mississippi River) at 12:30pm

*Food for the picnic potluck
*Those biking: a bike and helmet (let us know if you need to borrow either/both)
*A yoga mat, if you have
*Picnic blanket(s) and/or chair(s)



Happy Spring!
