Club Sponsors 
Although the VIP CLUB was originated at Sperry in 1980, it continued when the Burroughs' buyout formed UNISYS in 1986.  A 1995 UNISYS corporate sale to Loral split off the defense part of our history that had been a part of the Twin Cities operations.  Loral in turn sold those operations to Lockheed Martin in 1996.  Because of our heritage, LMCO asked to join with UNISYS in Roseville as a club sponsor in 2000, thus bringing us back together.  The Constitution and Bylaws were updated that year to reflect this joint sponsorship.   
  •  The Board usually meets in the Nokomis conference room at UNISYS the first Wednesday of even numbered months.
  • The Board usually meets in an East Lobby MPR conference room at LMCO the first Wednesday of odd numbered months.

    •  

    Some current information about both sponsors, including their location maps is just below.  In November 2010, LMCO announced that they will be closing their Eagan facility by 2013.  Updates to this page will occur when anything major occurs.  We have already transitioned some of our program meetings from the LMCO sponsored Eagan Community Center to the UNISYS, Eagan facility.
