Members in the Twin Cities Local have been chalking up several notable successes recently, including the online rate calculator and the Corporate/Educational waiver. In order to perpetuate that spirit of member involvement, the Twin Cities Local Board created 2nd Monday Mixers, a great way for members to meet on a regular basis to mix, mingle and hear from others about jobs, news and life in general in a casual social setting.
Members, pre-members, and anyone they decide to bring along have met on the second Monday of the month for the past six months at Coup d’Etat in Uptown Minneapolis from 5-7 p.m. The turnout has been great, with 15-17 people attending each month! Shelli Place and I, as co-chairs of this effort, looked for a fun, super-casual setting where we could hang with each other and enjoy happy hour food and drink specials. So far, Coup d’Etat seems to be a perfect fit!
The monthly mixers are open to everyone, including actors who are curious about the union and how to join, as well as producers who would love to know more about the new tools we have in place locally (the numbers calculator and waiver) to make it easier for them to hire union talent. If you’re interested in checking out one of these low-key, conversation-filled happy hours, watch for an email reminder from the Twin Cities local and be sure to plan to join us at the next 2nd Monday Mixer at Coup d’Etat in Uptown Minneapolis!
