12/24/2020

Thank you to all of our Members and all of our Sponsors!

MSES Is Recapping 2020 and Looking Ahead to 2021 and wishing you all a very
HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!

Recap of 2020

MSES has many reasons to celebrate!

Hosted a very successful and fun Winter Event/Annual Meeting in February

Provided $40,000 in Scholarship Awards to 20 deserving students in July

Spring Golf Outing that was originally postponed, was played in August

Grandview Lodge welcomed us again for our 98th Annual Fall Outing. It was slightly different in 2020, still there were lawn games, golf and fun times

Emerging Professionals hosted TWO very fun Virtual Trivia events.

While some events were cancelled due to limits on gathering, we made the best of it and gathered outdoors where we could and virtually!

We do intend to host in person events again just as soon as we are able.

Looking Ahead to 2021

2021 Membership Dues are DUE! Please pay your MSES Membership dues by February 4, 2021. Please share with your co-workers who are not currently MSES members.

The MSES Annual Meeting will be held VIRTUALLY on February 4, 2021 from 4:30-6 pm - Details will be emailed separately. We will vote on updated bylaws, the slate of Officers for 2021 and have a Virtual Happy Hour with Door Prizes. We would appreciate donations for door prizes, if you wish to donate, please contact Heidi Holste at info@mses.org. Also, a Sponsorship for the Annual Meeting is also a Sponsorship for the Winter Event!

Given the current situation, an in-person, outdoor Winter Event is tentatively being planned for April, 2021. This will be separate from the Annual Meeting this year. However, a sponsorship for one is a sponsorship for both!

We are still planning on holding a 125th Anniversary Celebration and will be planning the BIG Party for February, 2022. In the meantime we will be re-launching the efforts to raise money at our Annual Meeting in February of 2021. Donate here

The Scholarship Applications are now live on the MSES website - please share with your family, friends and co-workers!

The Spring Golf Outing is scheduled for Monday, June 7, 2021. Mark your calendars and secure your SPONSORSHIPS today! Title Sponsor spot is currently open - don't delay!

The 99th Annual Fall Outing is scheduled for September 15-17, 2021 Grandview Lodge, Nisswa, MN

Emerging Professionals and Membership/Networking are planning virtual events and outdoor networking events. We hope to be able to announce some of these plans in future newsletters.
