The Presidents Message

October

How can I say Thank You Enough. We had a wonderful show and those of you who came down to help worked themselves so hard they were totally exhausted. I can't express how grateful I am for the support of the wonderful people in our club.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!

We have to think about our elections and our Christmas Party at our next meeting.

The winner of our Friday night Afghan was Bob Titus, our Saturday winner was Frenchy, and our Barbecue was won by Richard Dix.

See you at our next meeting.

Good Luck and Good Health to Everyone

Your President

Ruth S. Smith

The Presidents Message

November

Our October meeting was great, we had a good time visiting and talking about our great show.

What a group we have, you all work so hard for our hobby and show. The Treasure read the report and we have done really well.

Selma Jockisch brought our treats and it was great. Thanks again Selma.

I have arranged for our Christmas Party to be held on December 18th. Hope to see you all there. The club pays for the members and guests will be paying $11.00 each.

Our club is 40 years old this year and we have been having our show at the Complex for the last 20 years. We started at the Complex in 1984.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween, hope to see you at our next meeting.

Thanks to Dennis for a great paper. He does such a good job for us. A big Thank You to Dennis Chapman.

Good Luck Always

The meeting was called to order by President Ruth Smith and every one was welcomed. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved the treasurers report was read and approved. We talked about our show, all the dealers did well as did the club. Ruth thanked all the members that helped to make our show a success. Larry Higley will be our show chairman next year, and Janet Nix will be in charge of the advertising. We decided we would not run the show until 10 PM again, we will close at 8 PM. We were just to tired to go longer and the dealers agreed. We had some problems with trash we didn’t get it all cleaned up after the show, also the restrooms were not as clean as they should be. Larry Higley went down and cleaned up so we could get our deposit back, we will correct this problem next year.

Ruth read the names of people that were willing to be officers of the club and ask for nominations from the floor; their were no nominations from the floor, Sherri Miller made a motion that we vote the officers in by acclamation, the club voted all officers in as named: Bob Titus as President, Ruth Smith as Vice President, Mary Lynn Titus as Treasurer, Larry Wilson Secretary. Gren Duane will bring the treats next month. The Christmas party was discussed we will try to have it at the Elks Lodge, Ruth & Don Smith and Ardith & Larry Higley, will work on making the arrangements for the party. The door prize was won by Mary Helen West. The meeting was adjourned.
