Welcome to the Twin Cities Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers |
 |
I just wanted to send a quick reminder that your local ASA chapter will be having its third annual happy hour, Monday, January 11th at Majors Sports Café in Golden Valley. These events have been well-attended in the past because they are a great opportunity to meet and socialize with your fellow ASA members. The happy hour will commence at 5:00 PM with no specified end time. There will be a cash bar with the chapter sponsoring appetizers. No need to RSVP. We hope to see you there! The address is: Chapter meetings will no longer be held at St. Thomas. Grant Thornton has graciously offered the use of its facilities, which include the ability to attend the meeting remotely via a webcast. Details on how to connect remotely to the meeting will be emailed soon. Meeting location: The best option for parking is the Government Center Ramp (on the other side of the Hennepin County Courthouse). Entrance to the ramp is on 5th Avenue. Our next meeting is Thursday, December 17th at noon. It is a joint meeting with the local chapter of IBA featuring the annual valuation contest. Our guest presenter will be Ingo Schulz of Prestwick Partners, who will give an overview of an actual transaction. Based on the presentation, meeting attendees will submit their guess as to the sales price. There are prizes for those submissions closest to the actual sales price. Please Note the location of this meeting: You must pre-register for this meeting. To RSVP, please email Dennie O’Leary (odennie@hotmail.com). Please also note whether you would like Chef Salad or Lasagna. One final note: due to the alternate location, there will be no option for remote attendance. Dear Twin Cities ASA Chapter, It is with sadness that I inform you that Doug Kurszewski passed away on Tuesday. Doug was a former president of the Twin Cities ASA Chapter serving in 1996-1997. He passed away peacefully in his home after complications from a stroke suffered in 2006. Visitation is scheduled for 1:00 to 3:00 (12/11) at Plymouth Covenant Church in Plymouth, MN with funeral services to follow. Please see the obituary for additional information. The chapter is sending flowers and making a donation to Toys for Tots in Doug’s memory.
