Social Hour (Non-Alcoholic)
Thursday, May 23, 2024

Attire: Raccoon River Park Nature Lodge
Due to lack of funds and most of our guests are not drinkers, we opted for a dry reception. We will still be providing refreshments but they will be non-alcoholic. We are planning to serve finger food snacks at this time as well. This is a time to unwind and socialize before the official reception begins.
