By: Russ Nelson
Minneapolis Club President
I look forward to my year as Club President
with the expectation that we will continue to
be the best City Club in the country! Under the
leadership of our past President, Bert
Colianni, we continued to make significant
strides in building a strong, diverse Board,
maintaining a solid financial position and strengthening our many
programs and “club within a club” opportunities. Frank DiLapo
continues to improve the member experience with a superior staff
and excellent, diverse programming for all of our members.
Our recently renovated grill and outdoor garden dining have
witnessed significant increases in member usage due to both the
attractive surroundings and superb food under the leadership of
Executive Chef, Håkan Lundberg. Our Fitness Center continues to see
success, particularly with both individual trainer and group classes,
such as Spinning and Yoga. I can personally attest that without the
rigorous aerobic and strength training by my trainer, Amber Hahn, I
wouldn’t have made the 8 mile trek up Bright Angel Trail in the Grand
Canyon last September!
We are pleased to welcome our new Fitness Director, Laura
McNiff, who brings over 13 years of experience in the health and
wellness field, including 7 years of management experience in the
fitness industry. If you haven’t tried our Fitness Center, now is the time!
We continue to attract new members but also face the
continued challenge of retaining members in a very competitive
market. Under the leadership of Board Members Mary Blegen and
Diane Lilly, our Membership Committee remains active in developing
and implementing new strategies for membership growth.
On that note, I am pleased to announce new members to our
Board, each of whom will bring an energetic and new perspective as
we move forward.

under the leadership of Frank DiLapo and his very skilled staff.

Welcome new 2014/2015 board members
summer of 1927 began with one of
the signature events of the twentieth
century: on May 21, 1927, Charles
Lindbergh set off to be the first man to
cross the Atlantic alone in an airplane.
When he succeeded, he profoundly
changed the culture and commerce of
America and its image abroad. Add to
that Babe Ruth’s efforts to break the
home-run record he set, Henry Ford’s
retooling of the Model T into the Model
A, the execution of accused anarchists
Sacco and Vanzetti, and Al Jolson
appearing in the first talkie, and 1927
became the pivot point when the U.S. began to dominate the
world in virtually everything—military, culture, commerce, and
technology. Note: the author will not be in attendance.

Minneapolis Club Member, Jacquie Berglund of
Finnegans, turns Minneapolis food truck scene on its
head, introduces reverse food truck to fight hunger.

Local beer company aims to

Gather
Sponsored by the Women’s Committee
Featuring Cyndi Lesher.
Cyndi is currently the executive vice president and CAO of
SheerWind. Before taking on her current position with SheerWind,
she served as the CEO of NSP, an Xcel Energy company. Cyndi
credits her father for instilling in her the value of community service.
She is most proud of the Minnesotan spirit of philanthropy, which
rallies people in good times and bad to show courage, compassion,
selflessness and love.
Tuesday, June 3 • 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Sometimes an idea stops everything in its tracks and demands
immediate attention. This past January, Finnegans CEO,
and Minneapolis Club member, Jacquie Berglund heard a
crazy-good, entirely original idea from her long time, pro bono
ad agency, Martin|Williams. A Reverse Food Truck: a food
truck that doesn’t give out food, but takes it in for donations.
Berglund—constantly looking for exciting new ways for her company
to fulfill its mission to turn beer into food—ate it up.
“It was such a fun, brilliant idea that I had a hard time focusing
throughout the rest of the meeting,” says Jacquie. “I promised the
Martin|Williams team I was going to go out and buy a food truck by
the end of the week, which is when serendipity stepped in. After my
meeting, I ran into Luke Derheim, the marketing manager at Stanley’s
Northeast Bar Room and before I knew it I had a food truck sourced.”
The Reverse Food Truck is a new way for Finnegans to get
out in the community and inspire more Minnesotans to give back,
supporting its unique business model of giving 100 percent of
profits from beer to local food bank to purchase fresh produce from
local farms. Finnegans supplies fresh produce to food shelves in
Minnesota by funding Emergency Foodshelf Network’s ‘Harvest for the
Hungry Program’.
The Reverse Food Truck hit the streets of Minneapolis beginning
on St. Patrick’s Day. Those looking to give back can make donations of
groceries or money at the truck. Finnegans goal is to raise $50,000 for
the food drive running through September.

Cocktail Club:
Tiki Cocktails
Classic Cocktails “Tiki Cocktails”. Classic
Cocktails Club explores cocktails, spirits and their
complexities. A new spirit is presented at each
event which allows you to taste many varieties
of a spirit and learn about their flavors and
characteristics. We also learn why certain spirits
are better fitted to specific types of cocktails
and how each spirit contributes and supports the
flavor of a cocktail in a different way.

Caring for our
Clubhouse.
Spring menus.
By Chef Håkan Lundberg
As the weather has finally
sprung into spring, so have
our new menus. My focus is
on local and organic foods
which produce incredible
flavors, colors and smells.
The Mole Roasted Wild
Acres Chicken, for example,
was a hit when last served in the Grill. It
continues to receive comments about
the incredible flavor combinations.
Look for other amazing
dishes on our 500 fit
menus during lunch.
This grand old edifice is a source of pride for Minneapolis
Club members and a joy for all who attend events here. The
Clubhouse is one of the best preserved examples of downtown
architecture from over a century ago. However, we continue to
be faced with the myriad of issues one would expect from a
building 106 years old.
This year the Clubhouse is undergoing a complete heating
and cooling systems overhaul. One of our concerns in recent
years has been keeping our members comfortable when it is
very hot or very cold outdoors. Our aged HVAC system has
not been operating as intended or efficiently. We are three
months into retrofitting our system and we are already seeing
significant improvements. The Clubhouse has a more reliable,
stable, and consistent inside temperature and we are beginning
to see declines in energy usage.
Ultimately our goal is twofold. The first is to ensure our
members’ and guests’ comfort, and the second is to reduce
our energy consumption. An inefficient HVAC system must
run longer and harder than one that is correctly calibrated. By
getting the system to work as intended we will reduce our
energy consumption and lower the club’s utility bills. A reasonable estimate is a 15% savings in energy consumption and a more
comfortable building. Now that is what is known as a win win.
Announcing two electric car
charging stations.
The Garden
is open!
This burst of warm weather has everyone
in Minneapolis thinking the same thing:
Outdoor Dining! The Club’s Garden is now
open for full service and will be “the place
to be” this summer. During Happy Hour,
enjoy the addition of a community table to
gather at and a build your own mojito bar
featuring the freshest fruits, berries and
home grown mint.
The Club’s staff are excited to make your
summer the best yet! We look forward to
seeing you in the Grill & Garden!

As the popularity of electric cars continues to grow so must the
number of charging stations. We are proud to announce the
Club has installed two electric car-charging stations. They are
on the east side of the fifth floor of the parking ramp. There are
green strips and signage that identify the spaces. These spaces
are permanently reserved for electric car charging. Please be
mindful of this if you are driving either a gas or diesel car.
Please bring your own power cord. Power cords vary from
car to car and the Club cannot stock them all. We will have one
cord that claims to be universal, but to ensure compatibility, we
strongly encourage you to bring one. Please see the parking
ramp attendant for our cord.
This is one more step towards making the club a more
environmentally friendly place. Look for more in the near
future as opportunities arise. As one famous Minnesota son
proclaimed, “for the times they are a changing.”
