About us
Purpose
The purpose of the organization is to sponsor an annual reunion of all men and women who at one time or another engaged in sports on the northeast and southeast side. In addition to the athletes, all sponsors and fans of the teams are welcome to attend the reunion and partake of the good fellowship. Profits from the reunion are to be used to promote athletic activities of youngsters on the Northeast and Southeast side of Minneapolis.
Meetings
The group meets April thru August on the third Thursday of each month at Eastside Neighborhood Services at 1:30 pm. In September we have our annual Old-Timers Reunion event and then meet in October at a club sponsor for the year end meeting also at 1:30 pm.
