If you are traveling to a new city or moving there, let us link you up with alumnae in the area. They can give you recommendations on everything from the best local restaurants and don't-want-to-miss sites to doctors, dentists, schools, neighborhoods, and parishes. If there is no chapter near you (and you're not traveling to one), perhaps you'd like to start a chapter where you live. Come up with your own exciting ways and reasons to get together! CONTACT:

| Thurs., Sept. 11, 2008 |  | ST. CLOUD Chapter
The Creative Memories Company Tour, September 11, 2008, was fascinating, even for those not deeply "into" scrapbooking. Alumnae met the co-founder of the company, Rhonda Anderson and heard her story. The company concept, mission, and co-founders came together in 1987 when Rhonda made an after-hours phone call from Montana, where she lived, to a St. Cloud-based stationery and album manufacturer to order 40 albums for herself, family members, and friends to decorate and assemble with photos. Fortunately, the call was taken by a company executive, Cheryl Lightle, and in their conversation, the venture of building a company around teaching people how to creatively preserve their memories and offering them the products to make it easy and beautiful was born.

Twins vs. A's Baseball Game & Tailgating
McAfee Coliseum, Oakland
 
Since 1991, the University of Minnesota Bay Area Chapter has had a tailgate party when the MN Twins played the Oakland A's. This year, they invited other Minnesota colleges and universities to join them. It was a fun afternoon for Katies and our guests as we mingled with U of MN alumni during the tailgate. Our seats for the evening game were right along the first base line behind the Twins bull-pen, so got a great view during warm-up pitching and Cretin alumni Catcher Joe Mauer suiting up! It was a 3-2 Twins loss in the bottom of the 9th.
