Dear 3M Club Members,
We are following company guidance and can no longer sponsor in-person events this year.
As a board, we are in the process of trying to determine some opportunities for our members for the rest of this year and going into early 2021. Please watch the information posted on 3M St. Paul Club Yammer page for updates on new virtual events!

Join a local expert from Budapest to learn about Hungarian Christmas traditions in a virtual cooking class.
From a cozy Budapest café to your kitchen, experience the traditions of a Hungarian Christmas. Join Tour Director Bea, who owns and operates a coffee shop in her home city of Budapest, for a Hungarian cooking class.
Come ready to (virtually!) meet fellow travel-lovers in this live cooking class, and bring your pre-measured ingredients to learn to make Szaloncukor. This traditional holiday sweet is a staple of Christmas in Hungary, and doubles as a delicious Christmas tree ornament (we promise that it’s easier to make than it is to pronounce!).
Bea will also share her classic Glühwein recipe, and teach you the steps to making the perfect glass of this traditional Hungarian mulled wine—brewing this seasonal drink is one of our favorite Hungarian Christmas traditions! Sip a glass of this warm, sweet wine as you learn about Hungarian traditions and assemble your traditional sweets.
At the end of your Hungarian cooking class, Bea will show you her technique of wrapping your creations in foil to hang from the Christmas tree as yummy edible ornaments. Try not to eat them all so you can show them off to your friends and family! This is one virtual cooking class that you don’t want to miss. Join in and bring Christmas in Hungary to your own home.

3M Club Policy for COVID-19 Event/Venue Changes Updates:
Event Update: After carefully considering our options and in following the 3M lead on keeping our members and their families safe, the 3M Club of St. Paul has cancelled the Children’s Halloween gathering and the Children’s Christmas Party for 2020.
Broadway Across America update, We are hoping to have an update in Mid January regarding the Promo code for purchasing special seating for the shows, including Hamilton and Frozen. Please watch Yammer for an update!
In the event of a cancellation: 3M Club will reach out to event ticket holders to communicate the process for refunds.
In the event of postponement or suspension: 3M Club wants to ensure that each current ticket holder has the right to attend the event in the future. Since the event is still planned to happen in the future, ownership of the ticket doesn’t change until event is cancelled.
Tickets for events and concerts will continue to be marketed and sold, as a way for members to reserve their option to attend ticketed events, just as they were prior to any COVID-19 impacts.
Concerts, Broadway Shows, Sporting Events and more!
