Minnesota can be a great place to enjoy the great outdoors at all times of the year! And when the weather is bad, we can do a few things indoors too.

Get together with other local Veterans, Reservists and National Guard Soldiers (including Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard) and do outdoor activities with others who know what it's like to serve or have a family member who serves.

Another meeting might be a meditatio …
