Greetings Duluth Section!  

April has been and will continue to be a busy month for our section. Last week we hosted the toothpick bridge competition at UMD. We had four schools in attendance and hope to continue to grow participation in the event in the years to come. A few photos of the event are included in this newsletter. Next Thursday April 30th we have two events, the State of Minnesota ASCE Report card release event which will be hosted at 10 AM at the Duluth Internation Airport and our 
annual section banquet that same evening beginning at 5 PM at Tavern on the Hill. The students also just competed in the regional event for steel bridge, 
concrete canoe, and geowall.  
 

The YMG group recently hosted a 2 hour ethics PDH which was well attended by members and professionals in the community. Their next upcoming event 
is a happy hour this week on Thursday at 5:30 at Bulldog Pizza. All are welcome to join them at this event.  

Our next luncheon is on May 19th at noon at BARR Engineering in Duluth.  Larry Sutter with Sutter Engineering will be presenting on upcoming changes with ASTM standards for cement and SCMs.  Please use the collaborate link to RSVP so we can plan an accurate lunch head count.  If you are unable to use collaborate, please send me a message. The cost of this event is $25 if you register before 5 pm on May 15 and $30 at the door for professionals.   At this meeting we will also be ratifying our updated bylaws that our Section and YMG board have been working on over the past year.  

Hope to see you on the report card release and the annual banquet next Thursday.
