Happy New Year! Here’s wishing you all a wonderful 2012! Just a reminder that NCB will be open Monday, January 16th, even though it’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. (We don’t get as many days off as we used to!) Enjoy the month,

Prairie Hill Tour and Treats
February 9th
Please join us for a tour of the new Prairie Hill Living Community Thursday, February 9th! We will meet at the Prairie Hill dining center at 2:00 p.m. and Michael will tell us about the lovely new living community, as well as give us a tour after we’ve had some dessert and coffee. We also have a special surprise, in honor of upcoming Valentine’s Day! Please let us know if you plan to join us so we have enough treats for everyone. Call us at 507-931-3310 to sign up for the Prairie Hill tour and meet us there! Prairie Hill is across from River’s Edge Hospital: take Hwy. 22 west from St. Peter, then turn right on Klein Street, and a quick left on Marshall Street.
New businesses in St. Peter!
The new Jake’s Pizza is now open at the former Food Co-op building. It’s been so busy lately around supper-time that I haven’t tried it out yet! The Jake’s in Mankato is super popular so it’s nice to have the business in town. Also, the old country Pub has been bought and is still being remodeled into the new Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery. They plan to be open to the public sometime in May. We will schedule a Saints tour/event there this summer.
Old Log Theater - The Fox on the Fairway
Join the Saints for a day at the Old Log Theater Thursday, March 22nd! We will see the entertaining comedy, “The Fox on the Fairway” by Ken Ludwig. Ken Ludwig also wrote, “Crazy for You” and “Lend Me a Tenor.” This play takes place on the golf course with rival country clubs vying for champion of their 43rd annual grudge match. Things go wrong with bogeys, backswings and birdies, oh my! After this fun comedy, our Saints Club will be treated to a backstage tour! (The tour should take about 20 minutes.) When making your reservation, please let us know what you’d like for your luncheon entrée: Windsor Pork Chop, Walley Pike Almandine, Stuffed Lemon Chicken Breast, Beef Stroganoff or Vegetarian Lasagna.

     Depart: 10:30 from NCB
     Return: 5:00 p.m.
     Deadline: March 15th (or when filled)

“Phantom of the Opera” & Brunch at Applewood
April 15th
We’ve had several requests to have a bus tour to see a play at Mankato State University’s theater. This April, the theater will be putting on, “Phantom of the Opera!” We have reserved seats for our group, and we’ll take a motor coach so you won’t have to drive or park! We also have reservations for the brunch at Applewood Restaurant and Banquet Center. The brunch is wonderful and includes coffee and sherbet for dessert. Please join our group for this great day at the theater! The cost includes the play, transportation, brunch and great sociability! (The motor coach will be the standard 49 passenger coach, not the smaller coach we had last year.) Call us at 931-3310 to sign up for “Phantom of the Opera!”
     When: Sunday, April 15th
     Depart: 11:30 a.m.
     Return: 5:00 p.m.
     Deadline: April 6th (or when filled)
     Cost: $44 per person
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
