The
Washington area is a great place to live, but sometimes it's nice to
go where you can talk Minnesotan and people know what you're saying…where
folks actually enjoy Ole and Lena jokes…where hotdish is hotdish
and not casserole.
An
opportunity to experience a little Minnesota awaits you right here in
the Washington DC metropolitan area. For an extraordinarily reasonable
annual fee ($10 for individuals and $15 for families), you can join
the Minnesota State Society.
Society
members have a connection with the North Star State - maybe they were
born there, maybe they went to college there, or maybe they were just
stranded there once during a blizzard. Whatever the connection, all
enjoy the camaraderie of spending time with some kindred spirits.
A
sampling of Society activities includes:
- Cherry
Blossom Festival and sponsorship of Minnesota's Cherry Blossom Princess
- Annual
Walleye Dinner
- Congressional
Reception
- Minnesota
State Day at the Washington National Cathedral
- Pancake
Breakfast
