Welcome to Our Retirees' Club Website!

 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 respectfully 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.
