Flour City District Fall Meeting and Conference

 

Approximately 40 milling professionals attended the Flour City District fall meeting from Aug. 20-22 at the Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria, Minn. A golf tournament was held on Saturday, Aug. 22.

 

The district plans to have a spring meeting on April 2, 2010, in the Twin City area. It will hold its annual golf tournament on June 18, 2010. The District will return to Alexandria, Minn., for its fall meeting in 2010. Following the 2010 meeting in Alexandria, the Flour City District discussed the possibility of joining with other districts for the fall meeting. The leadership plans to conduct a survey to see which existing joint meeting might work best for the district membership.
