BUS TO MYSTIC LAKE CASINO – 2nd Tuesday of the month
There has been a change to the Mystic Lake Casino bus effective immediately. Anyone wishing to take the bus to the casino must sign up with the Buffalo Community Center one week ahead of time. We have been directed by the bus service that we must provide the number of riders and the number of wheelchairs riding on casino day one week in advance. If no one is signed up to ride the bus will not stop. Please call the Buffalo Community Center at 763-682-6036 for more information or to sign up to ride.

FIDGET QUILTS – Second & Fourth Wednesday Mornings @ 9:30 a.m.
We are looking for people who like to sew to help us create Fidget Quilts. A Fidget Quilt is a small lap quilt that incorporates items that might stimulate the senses of dementia patients. Please join us on the second and fourth Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. Work can be done both at home as well as at the meeting times. Bring your scissors, notions and material and we’ll share our bounty and give input to each other.
