Three River's Model
T Club
August
2010
Tonight's meeting was
attended by a good number of members. President, Marlene Coder opened the
meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. She also welcomed Dan Danko who we
have not seen in awhile.
The minutes from the last
meeting were read by Secretary, Wanda Stokes. There was one correction,
Paul Dion is building a speedster, not buying one. The minutes were
accepted.
Treasurer, Mike Porter, gave
his report. We have money in the bank. He passed around newsletters
and brochures from other Model T clubs for members to look at. Mike
pointed out that the Ye Ole Car Club's newsletter had
a picture of Langdon's Model T's lamp with a birdie nest in it. Thank you
Mike.
Old
Business
Marlene asked for a report on
the Majestic Mountain Model T Tour to
Glacier National Park in Whitefish,
Montana. Several members who went gave their highlights of the tour.
Everyone agreed it was a wonderful tour with lots of interesting things to see
and do.
New
Business
Marlene asked Dale Peterson
to give an update on the Seat of Your Pants
tour to the San Juan Islands coming up
quickly. Dale and Sharon urged everyone going on the tour to bring warm
clothing, coats and scarves and mittens or gloves. Dale said that they
will be touring many of the islands and everyone seems to enjoy seeing Model
T's. Dale urged all members to have a full tank of gas before starting up
an 11% grade called Mt. Constitution. It will be a fun challenge
in a Model T. Dale also reminded members to bring their Passports as part
of the tour will be in Canada.
Phyllis Langdon asked if
there was going to be a schedule of the ferries for everyone. "Yes" there
will be.
October - we have nothing planned for
this month.
November - Marlene pointed out that
elections are coming up. If you would like to have a position with Three
River's Model T Club, please do not hesitate to volunteer.
December will be the annual
Christmas Party (12/12 @1:00 pm). Marlene pointed
out that the Christmas gift exchange has not gone well for the past two years
due to members not bringing gifts and taking one. She asked for everyone
to come up with a different activity to pursue instead of the gift
exchange.
Dan Danko reported a tractor
and engine show this coming weekend in Yakima. The price is $5 per person
with lots to see and do.
Dale Peterson asked about
doing something with the Boy Scouts. Larry and Marlene said that they will
ask the Scout Master if they are still interested.
It was reported that Ernie
Ferguson is doing much better. We are all happy to learn
this.
Wanda urged everyone to check
out the Three River's Model T website. (threeriver'smodelTclub.yolasite.com )
It has a wealth of information in it check it out.
