The President’s Message

 

I was so glad to see so many people at our meeting Tuesday night I do believe we are going to have a great show like we always do. This paper won’t go out till after the show, so the show will be over when you get this.

 

Larry Wilson truck caught on fire after the meeting, so we had a lot of excitement, fire trucks and police. I’m sorry there was so much damage done to his truck. But he says he might be able to repair it.

 

I appreciate all the help from our members, we can’t put a show on without the help of everyone. Thanks for all you do.

 

Good Luck & Good Health to everyone

 

Your President

Ruth Smith
