Chairman's Greeting

I would like to start off by saying thank you for the good turn out at our show a couple of weeks ago. Also, thanks for all the hard work that was put into it. As far as I know, everything went well and everybody had a great time. If you had friends who had displays there, please let them know how much we appreciate them for participating. At this time, I do not know how many displays were at the UT AG Day but I do hope that it was a success and that they are pleased with us.

Our election of officers is at the next club meeting and it would be great to have a good turnout for this meeting. I would also like to have the candidates tell us about themselves and what they could do for our club to make it a better club. There are also a few other topics to discuss at the meeting. Our next meeting will be on National Election Day so please don't forget to VOTE!

Don't forget your parking pass as some one will be there handing them out. Hope to see you at the meeting.

Carl Chesney

November Greeting

Our show at the Anderson County Vocational Center turned out pretty well after all. It looked pretty slim at the end of the day Friday, but by 10:00 AM Saturday, the number of exhibits had about doubled. There were nearly fifty tractors, about two dozen engines, about one dozen cars and trucks, and some miscellaneous exhibits. We cleared between four and five hundred dollars for the club. The weather was wonderful, the food was good, but we could have used four or five times as many visitors. This will give us something to work towards for future shows. Yes, we intend to have more shows at the Technical Center. They welcome us there. We will probably go back to having our main show there about the last weekend in June. No final decision yet, but it is looking good.

Our next meeting is very important in that we will have the election of new Officers and Board Members. Last
report I heard, I think we have some contested positions, so it is very important that you attend and vote. Also, at the next meeting, we are going to try and have our scholarship winners speak. It is always enjoyable to hear these bright students. We can usually learn a thing or two also.

Our December meeting will be our Christmas Party and the assembly of the gift bags. We need two to four
people to shop for the gifts. This usually entails spending an hour or so at Star Sales. If you can do this, please let me know at our next meeting (November).
