Char House (531 7th St. W. in St. Paul). The maximum number is 36. We will be
able to order individually from their menu and we can arrive around 7:00 for
drinks and appetizers, so dinner will be closer to sundown. Mancini's website
is www.mancinis.com if you want to check it out or look at the menu. We have
a sign-up sheet on the Hymnal Table in the lobby. If you have any questions, please see Michelle.
