It’s a rainy day in Minneapolis and our early birds, Robert Sanberg, Dick Anderson and Tom Donnelly, unfortunately have soggy worms to find this morning.
Our guest for the day was Blythe Whealey, an account manager with Bullseye Media.
Honorary members in attendance were Mark Simon, Russ Bremner and Martin Peyer.
Ed Crandall is recovering from shoulder surgery; please keep him in your thoughts.

We have Craft Talk openings in June, July, and August; please consider volunteering to sign up and share your knowledge with the club or suggest a guest speaker!
This Week’s Craft Talk
Smile Keepers will keep your customers and employees smiling with creative logo gifts, greeting cards and logo wear clothing. Susanne can help you connect with your everyone you need to connect with in a soft marketing style. Always working with you to make sure that the product you pick “Sparks JOY” and has staying power.
Every office needs pens, post-it notes, coffee mugs, water glasses and mints. And every customer or potential customer could be advertising your brand with your logo on a top-quality travel coffee mug or water bottle. Dress yourself or your employees with a logo jacket or hat so you don’t miss a sales opportunity.
