The UMRA Photo Club will meet IN PERSON at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12, in the meeting room of the Hennepin County St. Anthony Branch Library, 2941 Pentagon Dr. N.E., St. Anthony MN 55418. The library is located in a small shopping center at the corner of New Brighton and St. Anthony Boulevards.
“Horizon” is the theme for the July meeting.
On this map, the St. Anthony Library is indicated by a red tear drop near the top of the map.
Please note: This is where we used to meet before the pandemic. Although the names are similar, it is not where we met in June (the St. Anthony Park Library in St. Anthony Park). After the July meeting we can decide which St. Anthony Library works best for us.
For those interested in lunch, meet at the nearby Great Dragon restaurant at 11:30 a.m.
