Join us as we tour the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC). HERC is a waste-to-energy facility that burns garbage to generate energy. About 365,000 tons of garbage is burned at HERC and sold to Xcel Energy each year. Through a steam line, HERC provides steam for the annual gas needs of buildings in downtown Minneapolis, as well as Target Field. Be prepared for noise, dust, smells, climbing several flights of stairs and walking outdoors.  Everyone must wear close-toed shoes, and long sleeves and pants in order to enter the Center. Note that this address is that of a visitor entrance door on the top level on the Target Field Station Parking Ramp (googling the address will send you to the wrong place). For information on parking and HERC policies, click here.

 

Join MCC members for an evening of art at this exhibition of painter Teo Nguyen's work, "Alone & Together: The Tender Dissonance of Passing Through." A native of Vietnam, Nguyen moved to the U.S. when he was 16 and studied art and design at De Anza College in San Francisco, Fresno State University in California and Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. A cash bar will be available. If you'd like to make a dinner reservation, call the Club at(612) 332-2292; mention that you're at the Club for the Artist's Open House. Free parking is available in the ramp next to the Club. For more information, click here.
