Recap - Networking with the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) at a Summit Brewery Tour on May 1st
Thank you all for attending the brewery tour and networking lunch! We had a great turn out and learned about the brewing process and the history of beer. We learned that a lot of the history of beer starts with women and how they were a major influence as the beer making process evolved. We toured their brewery and saw huge metal copper kettles from a German brewery that boils the mash and also the room where they do their bottling, which is a used system from Sierra Nevada. After the tour, we headed over to Famous Dave’s and enjoyed lunch and conversation with the members of SAME and networked.
Thank to Rachel Pichelmann, my SAME counter part for helping make this event possible.

Ideas?

Looking for ideas on happy hours or networking events you would like to see! Send membership an e-mail and give us any suggestions you have for a happy hour location or networking event you would like to see. There’s been suggestion to have a networking lunch around the Arden Hills/Roseville area. Anyone interested in picking a date and location? Please e-mail membership if interested

Do you have an idea on a networking event? Do you live outside the Twin Cities or in the Twin Cities but don’t want to drive? The membership and professional development committees have put together “Networking-in-a-box”, so you can host your own event. This kit instructs how to advertise to SWE-MN members and how to setup the event. Just e-mail membership@swe-mn.org for the kit and details.

We look forward to seeing you at upcoming SWE-MN events!!!
