LAKE COUNTRY ANTIQUE TRACTOR ASSOCIATION
EDGETA BRANCH 145
OCTOBER 3, 2016 MINUTES
President Ron Davis called the meeting to order at 6:52 PM with twenty in attendance. Phill Hallman opened the meeting with prayer. We were happy to have two guests, George Toone who was with Don Hatton and Ava Nivison who is Ron and Rosa’s granddaughter. The secretary’s minutes from August were approved as written. The treasurer passed out copies of the financial report. A bank balance of $4, 571. 20 was indicated. The financial report was approved as presented.
We were saddened to learn of the death of Mike Kenny, a former club member. Reports were that Lynn Gray and Jim Dozier are still having health problems.
Ron reminded us that the December meeting is the time for new officers to be elected. Phill Hallman, Jim Kuechle, and Paul Barnett were appointed as a nominating committee to come up with a slate of officers for the election.
The pull at Emory was a success. Ron told us that the new track will be extended a few feet. The officials at Emory have indicated that if the club wants to have pulls at that location on designated dates, they will advertise for us in their publications. Jim Kuechle made the motion to set the last Saturday in September as the date for our fall pull at Emory. If necessary, the alternate date will be on the first Saturday in October. Don Hatton made the second and the motion carried.
Ron told us that he plans to send a thank you note to the Rains County Commissioners for building the track and providing facilities for our pulls.
