Three River's Model
T Club
March 2010
Minutes
Tonight's meeting was opened by
President, Marlene Coder, with the Pledge of Allegiance at Reata Springs
Baptist Church in Richland, Washington. A new guest was welcomed, LaVar
Peterson, Uncle of Dale Peterson. LaVar owns several Model T's and shared
some of his life experiences with Model T's. Thank you.
Marlene asked for the reading of the
minutes. Secretary, Wanda Stokes read the February minutes with no
additions or corrections. Treasurer, Mike Porter, was asked for his
report. We have money in the bank. Joe Moore paid his dues
being the only income. There were no expenses.
Old
Business
Marlene asked for a report on the
Frost Your Finger's Tour to Pendleton
this past weekend. Several members who went on this tour gave outstanding
reports of how much fun it was. Many thanks to Linda and John Carraher for
putting everything together. The weather even cooperated and we saw lovely
and interesting country to and from Pendleton. Pendleton is a fancinating
town with much history and charm. Thank you so much.
Marlene asked for some clarification
of what members thought of sending e-mail minutes. Wanda asked if we could
just send the minutes to the website and not to individual members. After
much discussion, some members felt that a proper newsletter might be the way to
go. It was expressed that a newsletter is the "life blood" of any
group. It was also noted that it just takes time for people to "change"
and accept an on-line website for our Model T information. Dale reported
that several business that are related to Model T's, have expressed an interest
to "linking" our website to theirs. As it is now, all other clubs and
members are getting is just the minutes. Dale said that he will work on
the website to have more of a newsletter in it. Thank you to all who
helped. Paul Dion made a motion that the minutes be just distributed to
the website alone. Motion passed.
Please note: This will be your last e-mail minutes that you
will be receiving. From now on, please check out our
website:
Our website has a wealth of
information and you can print out a copy for your own personal records if you
wish. Dale has done an outstanding job of putting this website together
and lots of hours dedicated. Thank you Dale. If you have something
of interest about Model T's, please send it to Dale Peterson at dpeters025@gmail.com. Dale will be sure
to put it on the website.
For those who do not have
e-mail, Wanda will snail mail them a copy of the
minutes.
Also, the website will be available
to Model T clubs that we have shared newsletters in the past. A notice
will be sent to these clubs for them to check us out at the
website.
New
Business
Jim and Phyllis Langdon are planning
on a tour to Mecham, Oregon on Saturday, April 17th. This
is a new date due to conflicts with the old date. If you want to go,
please contact Jim or Phyllis at
541-567-3196. Phyllis asked for a head count to give the
restaurant in Mecham an idea of how many are going. You can leave your
truck and trailer at the Langdon's if you want. The tour will
leave Langdon's at 9:00 a.m. This is a beautiful tour
through breathtaking country. Plan on going.
Marlene was contacted by Wayne and
Lorraine Williams about hosting this year's Christmas Party again. All
felt that this was a great idea and worked well for everyone. We
tentatively set a date, but it will be finalized at our next meeting. The
2:00p.m. time worked well last year. More later.
Wanda was contacted about our
club being in a 4th of July parade in Sunnyside from some organizers in
Sunnyside. There did not seem much interest in it at this
time.
Dale's uncle, LaVar told us how his
brother used a Model T to cut firewood years ago. It is truly amazing what
these wonderful cars have accomplished over the years. Thank you for
sharing. It is appreciated.
Our next meeting will be
April 15th at the church. Ken
and Bernice terMaaten are scheduled for
snacks. For a complete list of who has snacks, please check the
website.
