The Stern Alumni Club of Minnesota has decided to contribute to the Mayo Fund Established on Behalf of Arne’s Brother-In-Law, the Late Dr. Dale Shepard.
This past December, former Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson spoke at the NYU Alumni Clubs of Minnesota reception. As an honorarium commemorating Arne’s extraordinary presentation, despite the passing of his brother-in-law Dale Shepard that same day, the Stern Club would like to say thanks by supporting Brain Cancer Awareness and Research on his behalf. The Governor went to bat for us. Now it’s our turn to say thanks to both Arne and his understanding wife, Dale’s sister, Susan.
If you would like to say thank you too, please make a private gift to Brains Together for a Cure, the family’s designated charity. This fine organization promotes brain tumor and effective treatment awareness by funding research at the Mayo Clinic.
The Stern Alumni Club of Minnesota would appreciate your help with this gift to recognize the sacrifice Arne made when he kept his speaking commitment to our group under the most trying circumstances.
Donations may now be made online or by printing a Donation Form and mailing a tax deductible check to Brains Together for a Cure.
IMPORTANT: Please use the appropriate form to designate that your donation is being made in connection with the “Stern Club of Minnesota” in memory of the late Doctor Dale Dana Shepard.
Here are a few photos from this past December’s event:
We wholeheartedly thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity,
The Stern Alumni Club of Minnesota

During our recent and successful fall reception and mixer with the NYU Club of Minnesota (See News and Events for details), Hugh and I had an opportunity to touch base with a number of Stern alumni about plans for future events. While some Club members expressed interest in meetings to discuss business related issues, others preferred a social-only agenda, anticipating a special Holiday event. To better help us set the course, we will soon be emailing a short survey to garner your opinions. The survey will address future meeting content, location, time and frequency of events. We anticipate holding a subsequent and open planning meeting following our assessment of your feedback at which time we’ll set plans to best meet your interests.
Thank you for your continued interest and participation,

Thursday, September 30th 2010, Dick Saliterman (NYU Law ’73) graciously hosted a Fall reception for the Stern Alumni of Minnesota Club and the newly formed NYU Alumni Club of Minnesota. The reception was held at Saliterman and Siefferman, P.C’s Minneapolis offices. The location proved to be a beautiful backdrop for an enjoyable night of socializing, food and drinks.
We appreciate, of course, the diligent efforts of Sonal Patney, NYU Club President with support of Tom Marver, NYU Club VP of Marketing.
Attending the event were Alumni from all NYU Schools, (Stern, Law, Medicine, Steinhardt, Tisch, CAS (formerly WSC), SCPS, Silver, Wagner, Gallatin, and Courant). The Stern contingent included such alumni as John Petroff, Jeff Mellas, Alan Rice, Steve Levin, Hugh Williams, Tom Lockhart, Dick Weinrib and more. (Our apologies to anyone we missed!)
Following the reception, a great event just got better, as Dick Saliterman led us to dinner at the Minneapolis Cub, where members discussed plans for future meetings, e.g., a curated dinner at the Minnesota History Museum or Walker Art Center. Both clubs will be meeting soon to discuss detailed plans, so please check back soon for details. Other possibilities included joint events in cooperation with such other local Alumni clubs from Wharton, Penn, Columbia, Chicago and MIT.
Before closing, special thanks to Hugh Williams, our Club’s own Ansel Adams, who took many of the photos seen below.
And finally, thanks to everyone who was able to join us at this special NYU event. We hope to see as many of you as we can at our next venue.
