ARMISTICE DAY

Sunday was the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice of the Great War; the war to end all wars. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the Armistice went into effect. You can follow the Minnesota Historical Society's World War I Day Book: http://www.mnhs.org/blog/collectionsupclose/ww1daybook

Here are a couple photos from a Pictorial History book from 100 years ago commemorating the Great War:

I have been getting many calls about committee structure, membership, legislation and processes. It has been a week since the election and it takes some time to get organized.

On approximately November 26th, the list of committees and chairs will be released. Following that, each member and member-elect will be sent a committee preference form to fill out.
