The Norwegian Explorers 2024 Annual Meeting and Dinner
Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 6:30 PM
We'll celebrate the season and hold a brief business meeting along with enjoying the traditional English dinner. The evening will feature Canonical Toasts, a keynote speaker, presentation of this year's Sigerson Awards, poems, limericks, carols, etc. Attendees will receive a limited edition copy of the much-anticipated and coveted Norwegian Explorers Christmas Annual.
Author Larry Millett will be our keynote speaker and will speak about his newly released book Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul. The book is a collection of three mysteries featuring his well-known detective Shadwell Rafferty in the days before Rafferty met and collaborated with Sherlock Holmes. Larry is the author of nine other mystery novels, most of which feature Sherlock Holmes, as well as books about the architecture and history of buildings in St. Paul and Minnesota. Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Subtext Books, and Larry will happily inscribe yours.
Join us for the meeting and dinner at the Minneapolis Golf Club, 2001 Flag Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55426 (952) 544-4471. (See link to map below.) The cost is $50 per person.
