Please join us at
the annual Music in Plymouth celebration on Thursday, July 6th (rain date

someone there from SVTC 40+ by 6:00 p.m. Music will be provided by the
several groups, including White Sidewalls, with the Minnesota Orchestra at
8:45 p.m. Fireworks at dusk. The fireworks have been wonderful in the past
– certainly rivaling any in the Twin Cities. Bring your chairs or
blankets, a simple snack to share and beverage of your choice. And for the
card night enthusiasts, a few decks of cards (UNO) and a Scrabble game
might even find their way to the event. Feel free to bring whatever game
you feel might work considering the relatively crowded outdoor setting. We
will have a neon yellow tagboard sign to identify the group. Please wear
your nametag. RSVP’s are not mandatory, but helpful. Contact Cindy at cindyarlt@yahoo.com.
If you have any comments, questions, or ideas for future activities,
