COLAKE COUNTRY ANTIQUE TRACTOR ASSOCIATION
EDGETA BRANCH 145
JUNE 5, 2017 MINUTES
President Ron Davis called the meeting to order at 7 PM with 24 in attendance. An opening prayer was led by Don Hatton. Our special guest was Gabe Brunson, one of our scholarship recipients, from Winnsboro. Gabe has restored a Ford Jubilee tractor which he took to several FFA shows in the state. He got third place in trap shooting in the state finals. A note was read from Clayton Lennon, from Alba-Golden, thanking the club for his scholarship. A thank you note from Gabe was also read. The recipients for this year’s scholarships are: Dillon Burnham from Winona, Gracie Beech from Yantis, Clayton Lennon from Alba-Golden, and Gabe Brunson from Winnsboro.
In the health concerns portion of the meeting, it was reported that Jim Dozier is able to be out and about. Don Sullivan reported that his wife is about the same.
The secretary’s minutes from April were approved as written. The treasurer passed out the financial report. After the scholarship money was set aside, we have a bank balance of $3,069.40. The financial report was accepted as presented.
It was reported that around 35 tractors participated in the Emory pull. It was a great day with many people. Ron mentioned that we might consider pulling pickups at some point. We cannot do this under EDGETA rules. Don Hatton mentioned that if the Cowboy Church in Athens gets their pull back together, we would be able to pull tractors, pickups, and garden tractors.
Don Sullivan announced that on June 19 there would be a huge tractor sale at his shop in Lindale. It is an inventory reduction sale and will also include equipment. There will be many Allis Chalmers tractors and implements. The sale will probably continue for several days. Members were encouraged to participate.
Don Hatton reported that the Paris pull turned out very well. Everyone had a good day.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:25.
Respectfully submitted,
Sally Smith
