Greetings, Crew!
First things first! It's time to get your tickets to the 40th Anniversary event on May the 4th. We are so excited to share an amazing dinner buffet, dancing, and social time to celebrate our many years as a Twin Cities fixture. There will also be some Trek-stras (see what I did there?) as we enjoy our evening. Best of all, due to our successful fundraising activities (can you say Chuckwagon?) over the last years, and the fact that we've had only a few con rooms recently, we can afford to cover more than half of the cost of your ticket! That means it's only $25 per person for this fancy schmancy evening. Grab your tickets today - instructions are on our Special Event Page!
Importantly, everyone is welcome. And we really mean everyone, so bring your friends and family to meet us. It's a challenge to get the word out to people that were members in the past, so please send the information to all past members that you know. It would be so fun to see them! Again, go to our Special Event Page so you can grab the information to share.
We're also working on some special t-shirts for the 40th Anniversary. Soon we'll share the link to order yours, so you can pick your own. And of course the June picnic this year will be another celebration of our remarkable longevity.
Another fun thing we'd like to do is go to a Minnesota Loons game at Allianz Field this summer. Tickets are now on sale, and we'd like to get a group area if enough people are interested. Please add your name to the sign-up list so we know you are interested. We'll order when we have a count - most likely in early May.
Finally, don't forget that it's an election year. If you have always dreamed of joining our magnificent Governing Board, ask a current Board member for details. All members are welcome to run. We currently have one nominee for each position and we'll ask for more, per our Constitution, at the April and May meetings. The election will take place during the May meeting.
I hope to see all of you at the blanket-making party and April meeting on the 13th. Take care and see you around the Galaxy!
Mary
