   "The goal of the games is to demonstrate the success of transplants and also the need for more organ donors," said Eugenia Steffens, manager of Team Upper Midwest.
   ...
   A majority of events will take place on the University of Minnesota campus, with opening ceremonies July 28 at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, said Steffens.
   
   Steffens, a transplant coordinator at the Hennepin County Medical Center, said Minnesota and the Dakotas actually had a combined team for many years.Teams were grouped according to where there was a National Kidney Foundation affiliate, and Minnesota used to cover North Dakota and South Dakota, she said.But when the Dakotas branched off into their own affiliate in 2000, Minnesota had its own team.
   
   The Dakotas NKF affiliate doesn't really have the manpower to put a team together, Steffens said, so with the games so close by in the Twin Cities this year, Team Minnesota decided to open up its membership again.
   
   "We're more than happy to (have Dakotans) be a part of the team," Steffens said.
   
   Currently Team Upper Midwest has 80 transplant athletes and six others who will attend as spectators, she said.There are several from South Dakota, though none from the Aberdeen area, and no one yet from North Dakota.
   
   Any transplant recipients are welcome to join the team, she said - as athletes or spectators.But registration closes Monday.
   
   "The larger the team we have the . . . more powerful message we can send to our area of the importance of organ donation," Steffens said.
