New Business
 
Bill Sheller told us of a great event hosted by the Walla Walla Model T club of a car show and other doings in Waitsburg.  This is a Classic Car show and we are invited.  Lois and Herb Mettler (past members of Three River's Model T Club) are in the  know about this great event. 
 
Mary Fraser passed around a late Christmas Newsletter from Denny and Linda Kehl.  They too, are past members of Three River's Model T Club who now live in Joseph, Oregon.  They have wonderful experiences with bears and bobcats visiting them at their remote home.  Very interesting. 
 
Dean asked members to give us their Garage Reports on how and what they are doing with their T's.  All of the members told of various things that they are accomplishing with their T's to get them up and ready for touring.  When Dean asked Russ Armstrong what he has been doing with his T, Russ replied: "I put on my hat and glasses and get in behind the wheel of his car and bounce up and down!"  We all loved it!  With that response, Sharon Peterson asked:  "How many Model T's does one person REALLY NEED?  Again, the women all loved this!  Amen to both responses!!!!!
 
With nothing more to come before the members, the meeting was adjourned.  Mary and Fred served delicious pies, cookies and crisps along with tea, coffee, pop and juice.  Very good and delicious.  Thank you both.
 
Respectively Submitted,
 
Wanda Stokes, Secretary
