Minnesota Reception, The Local Irish Pub, Minneapolis, MN - January 20, 2006

What an exciting time in Minnesota! The newly formed Minneapolis/St Paul chapter held its first gathering at The Local Irish Pub in downtown Minneapolis on January 20, 2006. Twelve alumni were in attendance with 3 guests and 2 staff. There were alumni who graduated as long ago as 1947, Wayne L. Smith and as recently as 2005. Cassie Piippo ‘05 graciously accepted the role of chapter President and Rosa Links ’04 will serve as Secretary/Treasurer. Great stories were shared from “back in the day” as well as recent stories of what has changed since then. The participants were so excited that they didn’t want to leave! Plans are being made for future events in Minnesota.
