Another year, and another annual meeting, is in the books! Dames met at the Minneapolis Veterans Home, where we brought items to donate and heard a welcome from Cheryl Garrison, Minnesota Veterans Home Public Affairs Director. We learned than Ard Godfrey, an ancestor of Dame Barbara Burwell, donated the land occupied by the veterans home. After a lively round of reporting by our officers, Dame Nancy Lavely was awarded a spot on the Roll of Honor. We also heard from Dames International Scholar Dina Manandhar and Molly Portz, Assistant Dean of International Programs.
