                          I usually put out a Chugger Bulletin immediately after the monthly Board Meeting, but alas, I was off having fun and missed the last meeting so all I have to report is hearsay and from what I gleaned, is that the last couple of  meetings were opened, minutes read, treasurer and membership reports read and approved, old and new business thrashed about and the meetings adjourned!

             The exact information it is available from our Secretary/Treasurer Nancy Pearson any time, so feel free to contact her direct.

            

The information you need immediately is that our Annual Election and business meeting will be held at the Woodland Elks Lodge, 500 Bush St,  same place as two years ago.  Since the map I furnished then was not exactly correct, I’m not going to make the same mistake twice, and let you all get your own map from Google Maps and make your own mistakes.

             We will be having dinner served at 3 PM, with doors opened for us at 1:30PM.  The board’s decision for this earlier time is being tried this year to see if we can get more people out for the meeting.  This will be a sit down Tri-tip full meal deal served by a group of young people who will be at your beck and call.  You have all received a letter requesting your sending in your reservations and $10 each for the dinner, and this will guarantee you a place to sit.

             We will have our usual raffle so please bring some prizes for the table.

             We will also be drawing the ticket for our antique engine we’ve been selling tickets on for the last year. We certainly our  President LeRoy a big thank you for his hauling it around to so many different events to sell the tickets.  We have more than covered our expenses in this years raffle.  By the by, President LeRoy is already working on next years raffle engine.

             We were unable to secure a free tour of anyone’s collection this year but Reiff’s Gas Station, 52 Jefferson St,  and Heidrick Ag History Center, 1962 Hays Ln, will both be open at least from 10AM to 2PM that Saturday at a cost of $7 per person entry, and both are well worth visiting.

             The entire board from last year has agreed to run for their same office for 2012, but any and all would be happy to have someone run on the opposing ticket.

If you have something to add, or  would like to be a part how it is run, please toss your hat in the ring.

             If you have any questions feel free to call President LeRoy or any board member. 

Please come out and have a great time.
