April 2 Meeting moved to Grumpy's in Roseville
The monthly meetings have been moved to
Grumpy's in Roseville.
The reason for this move is that our previous location was a little loud and not great for meetings or presentations and due to major adjacent construction it is about to get hard to get to and much harder to park at.
Please spread the word to everyone you know who may attend - the next meeting (and all meetings for the indefinite future) will be at Grumpy's, 2801 Snelling Ave, Roseville, MN 55113.
Same meeting schedule - I think - show up between 5:30 pm and 7 pm for dinner and social, meeting at 7 and education speaker at 8.
**Edited 3-25 - corrected Grumpy's street address to 2801**
March Meeting Overview
What a great crowd we had at the March meeting! Between the presence of daylight and the lack of freezing precipitation, the membership was out in force!
We had really nice recaps from Rosemarie on the banquet - which went fantastically well - and from Dana on the Education weekend, also a great success. We also had elections - and here, I apologize, I don't know what came over me, but I wasn't taking notes.
So take the following with a grain of salt, but I believe it shook down thusly for the 2014-2015 terms (election results and more below the page break):

January Meeting Minutes and Summary
January Meeting Minutes
The January meeting was great! It was above zero when we got there, and only 6 below when we left - what a delight! It was a particular pleasure to see the Fullers from USA Central Station and also Mr Fuchs from the same, as well as Ken Stemig from ELR - plus the regular regulars and special guest speaker Brian Johnson from Security Sales Group!
Brian really delivered on the education with a fast-paced, content heavy review of the latest HES strikes, Adams Rite (two-way latches OMG!) and Securitron (wireless power transfer - not even kidding).
The next meeting will be Wednesday, February 5 when we welcome Dan Johnson from Compex.

December 2013 Meeting Overview
Last night's meeting was a real treat for a select few! It was great to see Brad, Denny, Kathy, Dana, Alan, Pat, Sandy, Bob from USA Central Station, special guest Nate from Allegion and ....drum roll ... what a suprise to be joined by Gene from Lab, Major & Jet!
Which - the latter takes the prize for long-distance haul seeing as he's in from Chicago. Wow!
The meeting was conducted at even more blinding speed than usual due to the lack of attendance - which, just to be straight - if you didn't make it (and, statistically speaking, you did not) - no one is going to judge you poorly. It was just brutal out there. The folks who did make it were most certainly intrepid, committed, and skilled at winter vehicle navigation, hear, hear! But we also maybe suffered a touch of poor risk assessment.
More after the break - including the education summary from Nate Spitz with ALLEGION (what?):
