Are the Rumors True?

The facts about upcoming changes at the 5-5-1 Club & Café

Are the rumors true?  Well, it depends, of course, on what you’ve heard!  There are some changes coming mid-year to the 5-5-1 Club & Café community center and to the Lyngblomsten Gift & Coffee Shop.  Here’s the simple scoop:

NO – the community center (5-5-1 Club) is NOT closing.
NO – the community center is NOT moving to the Lyngblomsten Gift Shop space.
YES – the café-style dining (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays) that has been operating with the 5-5-1 Club will be discontinued in late June.
YES – Friday special meals that have been served at the 5-5-1 Club will CONTINUE to be offered on Fridays.
YES – the 5-5-1 Club community center will still offer programs, activities, outings, and classes in its current location on campus.

Plans are in the works for a re-envisioned Lyngblomsten Gift & Coffee Shop.  The remodeled gift shop will include a café and will be in the current location of the gift/coffee shop on the Lyngblomsten campus near the chapel on the main floor.  The grand re-opening is tentatively planned for early July.  The current café at the 5-5-1 Club will operate until late June.  There is an article on page 9 in the new Winter/Spring edition of Lyngblomsten Lifestyle explaining the reason for the change in the café’s location.  If you have questions about the 5-5-1 Club, please contact Geri Rutz at (651) 632-5320 or gmrutz@lyngblomsten.org.
