Welcome to Our Retirees' Club!
VIP Club members' personal friendships started during our legacy
companies' working days then continued as we've transitioned into
retirement or other life-style pursuits. As of December
2022 we have 1098 active memberships in 28 states plus one each in Canada,
Germany, and Greece. This is a living web site;
updated aperiodically with new Club information and Legacy Anthology
articles.
Please send announcements or site corrections to
webmaster@vipclubmn.org.
We are proud of our Legacy Companies, our technology innovations, and
our teamwork accomplishments while on the job; an intriguing and
continuing legacy detailed in the 60 Legacy Anthology
chapters, illustrated in this MN state icon, reflected in our monthly stories,
and the Lawshe Memorial Museum exhibits.
