EVENTS (check the calendar for details)
Annual Membership Meeting
Seniors have a positive impact on the political and legislative process, and we work to continue the impressive blue wave movement all across our state in election years.
Every year in the spring (May or June), the Senior Caucus holds an all-member meeting. The 2025 meeting will be held on Saturday June 21, 2025, 1:00p-4:00p, using Zoom. Registration opens at noon.
We hope to have a huge turnout for this important meeting with interesting speakers and elections. Officers are elected to two-year terms. Members may run for any office. Instructions for self nomination have been sent by email to all members.
Watch for email from dflseniors@gmail.com for your Personal ID Number (PIN), which is your credential for voting if you are an active member. Active members have registered or joined within the 12 months preceding the Annual Meeting. Please keep your PIN private and in a convenient spot for use in the meeting.
Special Events
Occasionally the Senior Caucus sponsors special events, which can occur very soon or only one time. These events are advertised as Front Page News events. They occur in the slider cells when you open the website (up to five) and also on the News and Events menu, Front Page News submenu.
Lobby Day on the Hill
MN Capitol Hill, that is!
Every year midway through the legislative session, the DFL Senior Caucus spends a morning on Capitol Hill to hear from various legislators or their representatives about current legislation working its way through the MN House and Senate.
The Day on the Hill for 2025 was Tuesday, March 25, on Zoom and in person at the Centennial Office Building (Cedar St, just north of the Capitol Building) in the Lady Slipper Conference Room.

Book Club
Senior Caucus members meet on Zoom once a month for a lively discussion of a politically or socially oriented book and the issues raised. Check the flyer for the current book title and Zoom link, or check our historical list to get caught up on titles you missed.
State Fair
Members staff the Senior Caucus table in the DFL booth at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. We meet new people, sign up new members, and have some great conversations. We usually are there on Senior Days (first Monday, second Thursday). You can help (and have fun) by signing up for a shift.
Summer Social and Fall Gala
Get to know other like-minded seniors at our biennial social events, the summer social and the fall gala. Besides social time, these events feature elected officials, candidates for office, other political leaders, great food, and maybe a fun band for tapping your toes.
The summer social will be held in Duluth on July 12, 2025. It will be an informal picnic in a park.
The gala is held at a catered venue in the fall for a minimal charge to cover the costs. The Senior Caucus provides the program, including entertainment. This year’s date is TBD, hosted by South Metro Chapter.
News Blasts
The Senior Caucus News Blast is published monthly and distributed through email. It offers information about events, news to know, and what is happening in Senior Caucus chapters around the state. Have a look!
I am a member of the Senior Caucus as a way to join with like minded seniors for involvement and comradeship in an outstanding DFL Caucus that works for the betterment of everyone.
