Founded in the 1982 by the former First Lady Gretchen Quie, the 1006 Summit Avenue Society has donated items to the Minnesota Governor’s Residence totaling more than three quarters of a million dollars. Our model for fundraising and support has been used successfully by other Governor’s Residences throughout the country and we are proud to be a vital and growing organization.
