Are you interested in a possible career in Public Safety? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a police officer, fire fighter or a 911 dispatcher at the Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport? How about serving as a traffic control agent or providing administrative support? If you answered yes, come and learn more about potential career opportunities in these and other areas.

The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) will be hosting a Public Safety Job Fair on Saturday, September 28, 2019 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. The event will be held at the MAC General Office Building at 6040 28th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55450.

The job fair is a great way for you to connect and network with representatives from MAC's Public Safety and Human Resources departments. You will have the opportunity to learn more about positions that are necessary to keep the airport community safe. Information about future openings, as well as current vacancies, will be available. Additionally, state of the art equipment used in the performance of these jobs will be on display.

There are bus routes available to the MAC from the VA, Southdale and downtown. To plan your route, please call 612.373.333 and select #2. Questions regarding the job fair can be directed to Lori Holt at lori.holt@mspmac.org or 612.725.6116.

Hope to see you there! • This is a free job fair - no registration necessary.

Membership & Retirees,

There has been enough interest to set up another opportunity to order blankets. Please review the following details:

• As you know from the previous order, the minimum quantity is 12 to waive the setup fee.
• Pricing is dependent on the total quantity we order and the company said there is no problem fulfilling our order in time for Christmas (for those who wish to purchase some as gifts).
• The deadline to order is October 1^st
• ^{$56 (order of 12-23) - $53 (order of 24-47) - $50 (order of 48-95)}
• Please email me with quantities and if you want the customization option; type it out EXACTLY how you want it to appear on your blanket: capitalized, not capitalized, etc…
• Customization is an additional $10 per blanket.
• Blanket size is 63" x 90”

Please see the attached photo for more info and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email or text me.
