Greetings Duluth Section, 

Our next luncheon is on April 15th at noon at BARR Engineering in Duluth. Rose Kopecky (SEH) and Alex Popp (City of Duluth) will be presenting on the upcoming West Superior Street project in the West End. Please use the collaborate link (Sent March 28) 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 April 11 and $30 at the door for professionals.  
 

We recently held the Toothpick Bridge competition for high school students at UMD and the event went extremely well. We had over 40 teams compete from area schools. We plan on making the event larger next year and will start planning for the event this coming fall.  
 

Our Younger Member Group continues to host happy hours, and the next one will be at Tavern on the Hill on April 15 at 5 pm. Please see the newsletter for more info.  
 

Sponsorship request letters have gone out to firms asking to sponsor for this year. We have 8 firms signed up so far and need more so please check with your firm and get signed up as a sponsor, if you are able.  
 

Our annual year end appreciation dinner will be held on May 20 at a venue in Duluth that will be decided soon. Please put the date on your calendar and try to attend. It should be a great time to meet with other engineers and do some networking. We will also announce our scholarship winners at this meeting. 
 

We will start working on the 2026 ASCE Report Card. I sent out an email on how to help out if you can.  
 

Hope to see you on the 15th for our monthly luncheon and please don’t forget to RSVP.
