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
January 2024 we had 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. We respectively fly the American Flag on our web pages.
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 illustrated in this MN state icon, detailed in the 60 Legacy Anthology
chapters, reflected
in our monthly stories, and at Lawshe Memorial Museum exhibits.
