Four Decades of Success

Hundreds Gather for Asado and
Reception for Uruguayan
Photographer, Federico Estol

More than 200 members and guests of
Minnesota-Uruguay Partners gathered for
food, wine, music, art and fun in June.

The asado in Montevideo, Minnesota,
brought people together from across the
state and Uruguay. Audrey Arner and
Moonstone Farms donated extraordinary
cuts of grass-feed beef for the event. Many
thanks to Marcos Villanueva, our asador!

The reception on June 15 for photographer
Federico Estol (left), organized by board
member Rob Scarlett, with generous
financial and logistical support from
Metropolitan State University's Maureen
Acosta, featured remarks from Uruguay's
Consul General, Dr. Nury Bauzan (right),
who traveled from Chicago for the events.

Uruguayan Psychologists Share Best
Practices with Minnesotans

Two professionals in Uruguay's criminal justice
system, Rossana Nuñez Delgado and Andrea
Magnino, toured facilities across Minnesota in May
to share best practices in psychology, drug
treatment, anger management, family violence and
training of probation officers.

The visitors, pictured above to the left and right of
Minnesota Corrections Commissioner Tom Roy,
are part of an ambitious reform program supported
by Bruce McManus, Connie Roehrich, Elizabeth
Callahan, Diane Levendusky, Leslie Metzen and
many other Minnesotans and Uruguayans over the
past five years.

We are grateful to Partners of the Americas in
Washington for grants underwriting travel for this
project.

Members, friends and the general public can make
a donation to the Deon Stuthman Fund for Social
Justice to support exchanges like this into the future.
