Alexandria area young professionals events

luncheons

​Monthly luncheons take place the first Thursday of each month at Grand Arbor by Knute Nelson, located at 4403 Pioneer Rd. SE, Alexandria, MN 56308. Each luncheon offers you the opportunity to network, learn more about the Alexandria area and explore new ways to get involved in the community. Luncheons include great food, a variety of networking activities, educational speakers, prizes and business announcements. The AAYP Leadership Team strives to bring in dynamic, relevant speakers that will help all members of AAYP grow both personally and professionally. 

socials

​Socials provide you the opportunity to meet fellow young professionals in a more social setting to get to know them on a more personal level and establish long-lasting friendships. They take place throughout the year at a variety of locations. The group got involved in Adopt-A-Highway in 2018 and adopted a section of County Highway 81. We clean up our section at least once a year. BARGO is another favorite activity, attend this event for a chance to win some big money! We also host a coat drive each year to collect and donate gently used/new coats to United Way to give out to people in need in our community. Other socials include trivia nights, escape rooms, paint-and-sips and more.
