Treasure's Report -Fred Lestina
Fred reported Income of $1279. We had donations of $1050, dues of $75, a monthly meeting donation of $65, and $89 in pedal tractor raffle sales. We also had $760 in expenses from donation to the Will Co. Sheriff Auxiliary, and PR/Marketing expense. This gives us an overall total of $519.00. Lane made a motion to accept the report as presented. It was seconded by Roger Rainford and was passed by all present.
Old Business
The next order of business is the need to pick a tractor to feature on our button. We also need to redo the plaque. Since this is our party, we will make this decision at our February meeting.
Ron was asked about the progress of our garden tractor sled and scale. He said the work is still ongoing.
New Business
Alan mentioned that there is no date set for the plow day, and the tractor drive. That also will be discussed in February.
Brad reported that we have a good start on sales for our pedal tractor raffle. We need more volunteers to help this effort. If you could work for part of the show, so you can see the show itself, that would help Brad and the club. So far there are 3 shows coming in March. [see upcoming events.
Alan took time to thank Alan and Larry Christiansen for their help securing our use of the Church, for meetings every month, and our Christmas party.
Brad mentioned that since Connie Schuler’s retirement, we have no one in charge as Club Historian. Is there anyone interested in the job?
Remember our Show Dates: July 21 – 24
Our Christmas Party provided us with a delicious array of food, provided by some amazing cooks. No one went home hungry! We ended our party with the raffle, and every lady there went home with a centerpiece. We hope it extended your holiday a little longer.
The silent auction sheets were gathered, and everyone paid for, and collected their items. We made over $400 for the club. Thanks to everyone who contributed and bid!
The Green Club will raffle a small John Deere this year. Their “Ride the River” tractor ride will be held August 22, so save the date.
