Holiday Party
Gosh, time has flown by, including Christmas. Guess it's time to add a few pictures from the Holiday Party. We enjoyed festive appetizers and desserts. Peg Meier entertained us with passages from two of her books. Everyone had an enjoyable evening.

Holiday Party Tomorrow
The recipes have been selected and tested, and we're making preparations for the holiday party tomorrow night. We're looking forward to hearing from Peg Meier, author of Wishing for a Snowy Day. Hope you will be there.
Here's the bad news that may make travel more challenging for some. I-494 will be closed between 100 and 212 for the weekend (for work at 169 intersection). Anyone coming from the east will need to make adjustments. Here is the link from MN DOT: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/169/.

The Role of Technical Education
A good group gathered for the November branch meeting on the 17th to hear Carole Carlson speak about the topic of the role of technical education in society today. Carole is recently retired from Hennepin Technical College, and helped us understand how important technical education is to providing trained employees and making our economy run effectively.
Here are a couple pictures from the evening.
