Meetings

MISF meets regularly on the third Saturday of the month, 10:00 a.m. (Talk starts at 10:30). We meet at Hosmer Library, 4th Ave. and 36th St. in Minneapolis. There is a small parking lot and lots of on-street parking available. Hosmer is served by the #11 bus, but there are three other bus routes within 1/2 mile, including two high-frequency routes. Guests and interested persons are always welcome at these meetings. For more information, check out our meeting calendar.
