MSPE Spring Thing Provides Opportunities, Recognizes Accomplishments

Over 70 MSPE members gathered on Friday, June 5 for the MSPE Spring Thing: Your Bridge over Troubled Water. Featuring continuing education, networking opportunities and an annual business meeting, members had an opportunity to learn from a variety of educational presenters and meet new people. At the end of the day, spouses, families and friends joined us as we gathered at Midway Stadium for a chilly but fun tailgating dinner and St. Paul Saints baseball game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



After a fantastic Italian lunch, outgoing MSPE President Jason McCarty presented awards to several MSPE members worthy of recognition. Congratulations to this year’s award winners:

Time to Hit the Links at MSPE Chapter Golf Tourneys!

Several MSPE chapters will be holding golf tournaments in the coming months to raise money for MATHCOUNTS, scholarships and other local outreach programs. MSPE members are encouraged to participate! Even if you don’t golf, you are invited to come and give it your best shot, have some fun in the sun and enjoy the company of your peers. More information can be found through the links below or by contacting the MSPE office.

Capitol and City of Lakes: The Twin Cities chapters have combined to bring you the First Annual MATHCOUNTS Golf Fundraiser! Come on Thursday, July 30 at Como Golf Course in St. Paul for an afternoon of golf and fun with your peers – while raising money for chapter MATHCOUNTS competitions! This event, which is limited to the first 40 people to register, is a four-person scramble, so it’s not necessary to be a good golfer in order to play. The cost is $50 per person, which includes greens fees, cart and a $10 donation to MATHCOUNTS. Join us after golf for Happy Hour at O’Gara’s Garage in St. Paul. Contact Kim Hayden or Sheila Krohse with questions.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS WED. JULY 1. Cost is $40 + tax per golfer, to be paid directly to the course. Donations to MATHCOUNTS can be made separately. Hole sponsors are also welcome.
