Saturday July 21st, 2007 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM “North of the Cities” At Mary & Jim Butcher’s cabin in Pine Lake (NW of Sandstone) Please come! This is a special invitation to all those on our mailing list, and particularly to those of you who live too far north of the Cities to come to North Memorial Hospital for the regular meetings. Family members and supportive friends welcome. Bring a dish to share, and enough chairs for everyone in your group. Weather permitting, we will be outdoors, otherwise we will squeeze inside the cabin! Come and enjoy good food, encouragement and learning from your fellow patients. The fishing is usually good, Jim gives pontoon tours of the lake, and the company is outstanding. We have invited physicians to join us if their schedule permits. We will have handouts, and we welcome families. The purpose is an informal get-together to share information about TN. Claire Patterson, the founder of TNA, always says “TN always strikes the nicest people”. Directions to Butcher cabin: Take I-35, heading north. Take the Banning Junction exit #195, north of Sandstone. Turn west (left) over freeway onto 23. At the T-junction, turn north on 18. After about 1.5 miles you will come to a junction. Turn left, following 18 west towards Finlayson. Pass through Finlayson (about 2.5 miles west of that junction) and continue west. About 5 miles west of Finlayson, pay close attention. 18 will take a bend to the right. Just before that bend, turn left onto 37. Go west on 37 about 1 mile to the T-junction and turn left on 38. The main road will turn left after about 0.5 miles. At that point follow the blacktop to the left. Do not follow straight on. You are now going south. In a short distance, when the black top turns right onto 23, DO NOT TURN WITH IT but continue straight south on the dirt road, county 25. After 1 mile, the dirt road will turn sharp right and go west. Follow 25 west for about 1 mile. The road will turn left just after a junction on the right. The lake will be in front of you. Take that left and you will see the cabin (brown in color, Fire #11627) ahead on your right. We will have signage. Pull off the road and park on the front lawn, or continue past the cabin and pull under the shade trees on the right. OR: Take Highway 65 North. Go through Mora. Continue on 65 North. After Knife Lake, turn Right on Hwy 3 (sign posted Hinckley). Drive approx. 9 miles. Turn Left on County Road 20 to Kroschel. Note: if you take this route, you may encounter significant road construction. It's been going on all winter we don't know when they will finish. Road work stops at Kroschel. Follow 20 about 10 miles along black top. When black top ends at crossroads, continue straight on dirt road. After sharp S-bend, cabin is on left, beside the lake (11627 110th Ave.) Special note to those who can’t get to meetings: The leadership team is available by phone or email whenever you have questions or concerns. We have the March 2006, May 2006 and January 2007 meetings available on loan in VHS and DVD formats.
