The Minnesota Senior Federation will host members and friends at a luncheon to honor Peter Wyckoff, retiring Metro Region executive director, for 34 years of service and to celebrate the Federation's future. The luncheon is Jan. 30, 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at Northland Inn Ballroom, 7025 Northland Dr., Brooklyn Park. All are welcome.

The Honorable George Latimer, former mayor of St. Paul, will be master of ceremonies. Several honored guests, business and community leaders, and long-time associates of the Federation will help tell the story of MnSF and its contributions to the community. It will be an opportunity to thank Wyckoff for his dedicated leadership.
