Every community has a special gathering place.
In the Twin Cities, it may be the Lakes, the Capitol or the Riverfront. At the Minnesota Masonic Home, that place is the General Store. Volunteer Duane Bradt has also been working in the General Store since it opened. Bradt trades 'Ole and Lena' jokes with another resident on a regular basis. Volunteers like the unpredictability and quick pace involved with the General Store.
