On Wednesday, July 9, sixteen members of the Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals Network (YPN) spent some time at the Central Dakota Humane Society (CDHS), located just south of Mandan on Highway 1806, to wrap up a great year of service and partnership. The group first took part in the dog walking certification class that all volunteers must complete in order to be allowed to walk the facility’s rescued dogs. Now, these YP’ers can visit CDHS to help walk dogs in the future. The group also did some service work on the property grounds. This included pulling weeds, trimming trees and spreading mulch. The property was nicely groomed by the end of the night due to all their hard work. The evening ended with a BBQ and social with food provided by CDHS.

The YPN is wrapping up a yearlong partnership with the Central Dakota Humane Society (CDHS) on Wednesday, July 9. CDHS will be hosting YP’ers at their facility in Mandan for a barbeque social. In true YPN fashion, members will be giving back by helping out with landscaping and participating in a dog walking certification process. Over the past year, YP’ers have supported the animal shelter by offering volunteer support at several events, directing funds to the organization through YPN events and helping to create awareness for the organization and their needs. This was the first year the YPN has partnered with a nonprofit. YPN Vice President TJ Jerke was instrumental in fostering the partnership. Jerke commented, “It’s something the network has always wanted to do, we’re a community-focused organization and this was a great opportunity for us to give back.” Come and help support the CDHS foundation on July 9!

More than 75 young professionals from around the Bismarck-Mandan area packed the Harvest Brazilian Grill in Mandan on September 26 for the annual All Hands Fall Kickoff Event. They filled themselves with conversation, food and information about the Bismarck-Mandan Young Professional’s Network. This was the largest turnout ever since the event started in 2006. The restaurant even shut its doors to the public for the occasion. The total attendance was 79.
The event kicked off the Network’s 2014 event calendar as potential, new and current members heard from the group’s leaders about the impact the network has on young professionals, businesses and the community. Basin Electric Power Cooperative sponsored the event and provided the appetizers and wine that continued throughout the evening.
