The Chapter will provide burgers and brats, buns, chips and water, as well as plates and silverware. We encourage attendees to bring a side dish or dessert to share, but you are not obligated to bring food.

Residents spend the morning fishing for trout at a large, well-stocked pond and enjoy a "shore lunch" of fresh-caught trout, potatoes, and beans prepared by our volunteers. The Veteran's Home is close to Minnehaha Falls at 5101 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, 55417.
