The Benefits of Being a Mill City Commons Member - An Ongoing Series

Earlier this year Dave and I became members of Mill City Commons.  We joined for a number of reasons, including the interesting member-only events, meeting fascinating people, and having more of a hands on role in helping with various fundraising activities. 

Here are some examples of exclusive MCC May events:

The Minnesota Genealogical Society will host a class on how to research family history through the use of their library.  Members will have access to over 50,000 items including books, microfilm, microfiche, journals and paper family history records.

A private wine tasting hosted by Sorella Wine & Spirits.  Wine buyer Darrin Minehan led a guided tour of Spains most important wine region, and special pricing on a variety of Spanish wines was available.

MCC at Sorella

MCC members Scott Parkin and Amy Sperling hosted a fabulous menu sampling at the Riverfront's newest restaurant, Masu Sushi & Robata:

On the 16th, MCC members will join I Wish You Love playwright, Dominic Taylor, for an intimate and informal dialogue about the play.  Mr. Taylor will provide context for the play that runs now through May 22 at Penumbra. Education Director Sarah Bellamy has scheduled "Bookends" on the Mondays before and after the May 19 performance exclusively for MCC.

Finally, a Guthrie play reading of God of Carnage.  Play readings are hosted by a member of the Guthrie staff or an Artist affiliated with the play.  Participants are assigned parts for reading and may rotate parts as necessary.

To learn more about Mill City Commons, please visit the website, or contact Linnea at 612-455-3329 or linneatweed@millcitycommons.org.
