EVENTS (check the calendar for details)
Annual Membership Meeting
Every year in the spring (May or June), the Senior Caucus holds an all-member meeting either in person or using remote access, or it is a hybrid of both.
The meeting will be held on Saturday June 14, 2025, 10:00a-1:00p, using Zoom. This year, in addition to other business, officers will be elected to serve a two-year term. Please consider running for an office and fill out the form when it is available.
Seniors have a positive impact on the political and legislative process, and we work to continue the impressive blue wave movement all across our state in election years.
Lobby Day on the Hill
MN Capitol Hill, that is!
Every year midway through the legislative session, the DFL Senior Caucus spends a morning on Capitol Hill to hear from various legislators or their representatives about current legislation working its way through the MN House and Senate.
Day on the Hill for 2025 is Tuesday, April 15, 9:00a-12:00 noon, Centennial Office Building (Cedar St, just north of the Capitol Building) in the Lady Slipper Conference Room. Parking is in the back, on the north side of the building.
Book Club
Senior Caucus members meet on Zoom once a month for a lively discussion of a politically or socially oriented book and the issues raised. Check the flyer for the current book title and Zoom link, or check our historical list to get caught up on titles you missed.
State Fair
Members staff the Senior Caucus table in the DFL booth at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. We meet new people, sign up new members, and have some great conversations. We usually are there on Senior Days (first Monday, second Thursday). You can help (and have fun) by signing up for a shift.
Summer Social and Fall Gala
Get to know other like-minded seniors at our biennial social events, the summer social and the fall gala. Besides social time, these events feature elected officials, candidates for office, other political leaders, great food, and maybe a fun band for tapping your toes.
The summer social will be held in Duluth on July 12, 2025. It will be an informal picnic in a park.
The gala is held at a catered venue in the fall for a minimal charge to cover the costs. The Senior Caucus provides the program, including entertainment. This year’s date is TBD, hosted by South Metro Chapter.
News Blasts
The Senior Caucus News Blast is published monthly and distributed through email. It offers information about events, news to know, and what is happening in Senior Caucus chapters around the state. Have a look!
I am a member of the Senior Caucus as a way to join with like minded seniors for involvement and comradeship in an outstanding DFL Caucus that works for the betterment of everyone.
