Punky's Tidbits
December 20, 2008

    Hello. I will start off by saying….. once again the food and company was
awesome at our potluck/meeting on Dec. 7th. Thank you all for coming and
participating. I am very proud of our club members representation and willingness to
put time and effort into what we do to have fun.
    We covered many subjects and it is hard to relay all the information to those who
could not be there. Here are the highlights:
* Leesa covered the club inventory, shared the correspondences letters to the club,
and handed out the club treasury report.
* A vote was passed to make a donation to the Willowbrook Museum.
* Insurance coverage for next season is being researched.
* Make -a- Wish committee for 2009 will be Charlie Cole, Ernie Lowell, Mike
Curit, Mark Cassette, and Leesa Noble.
* Having club jackets made up is being researched by Leesa.
* Points pulls, fun pulls, and a “Ladies” class pull.
* A non-member pulling fee for those who just want to show up and pull for one
time.
* Larry Forkum will be safety director and “Show” tractor organizer.
* Flag persons will do some training, to all be on the same page while doing the
task at our pulls.
* Next years schedule of events and pulls.
* Thank-you cards out for members to distribute to the sponsors of 2008.
* Safety on tractors - seat jumping and hands on wheel. (parents discretion)
* New membership contest for 2009. We will welcome new members on the
website, keep a tally of who brought them in and have a reward for the one who
brings the highest number at the end of the year. There are many parents,
grandparents, aunts/uncles and children that could have fun with us next year. So, lets
go for it!
* There are 3 pulling committee positions up for vote for 2009. The nominees are:
1. Charlie Cole 2. Rene Tardiff 3. Dave Lank 4. John Mayo   5. Stubs
PLEASE…fill out the ballot and return. These people work closely with your
chairman and they are important to the success of our club.
     Thanks to all who have sent my family a lovely holiday cards. We enjoy them
very much. We wish you all a very Happy New Year.
     Our next meeting is January 11th at the American Legion in Alfred. Pot luck at 12
and meeting to follow. Members and possible NEW members are welcome.
