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 the MN state icon, and in our monthly stories plus museum exhibits.
