Club

Fort Walla Wall, WA
meeting
Today's meeting was held at Fort
Walla Walla. President Dean Stokes opened today's
meeting.
Secretary, Wanda read the minutes
from the April 2012 meeting, all approved. Treasurer, Mike gave his
report. We have money in the bank, the balance is the same as April with
no changes.
Dean asked Marlene Coder to
introduce her guests, George and Charlene Shockley, Welcome along with Brian
Peterson, welcome too.
Fred Fraser gave his report of the
upcoming Hat Rock Tour this Saturday at noon. He asked how many T's were
going, Jim and Phyllis Langdon are going. It will be a potluck and a
good time.
Dean gave his report about the
Black Rock Creek Tour coming June 1st. He explained that there will be a
trouble truck. Each T participating will be required to give $10 toward
fuel. The truck will be full of fuel when we leave Sunnyside, and filled
up immediately after the tour. Any and all money's left over will be
refunded back to the people who partook of the tour.
Dean also explained the terrain
that we will be traveling over. He said for everyone to bring their
cameras, lunch, cell phones (which will work in some areas), fire extinguisher,
first aid kit and perhaps a chair. We will be eating at the Robert's ranch
old farm home and tables will be provided, but an extra chair might be
appreciated, or you can eat on your running boards. He also recommended
that T participants adjust their low pedal. Also make sure your T is full
of fuel and bring extra water and oil for you T. Water for drinking will
be provided. He expressed that our goal in touring is
NOT to tear up our cars, so we will be taking it
easy. We will leave Sunnyside (The Stokes ranch) around 9:30 a.m. and
probably will be back around 3:30 p.m.
The National Model T tour has Jim
and Sandi Ellenbaas going to Nebraska. They should have a great
time. The Montana Speedster Run is being the same week as the National
Model T Tour - June 16 through 22nd and many in our club will be traveling to
Montana. For this reason, there will be NO JUNE
Meeting.
We will be meeting July 19th at
Jim and Sandy's home in Granger around 3:00 p.m. for a BBQ. We are asked
to bring salad or dessert as Jim and Sandi will furnish hamburger, the toppings
and bratwurst makings. This will be a very nice meeting, please plan on
attending.
Fred Fraser contacted Riatta
Springs Baptist Church and explained that we are not meeting at the church for
the time being. We are trying out a new concept of having meetings at
member's homes or restaurants to attract better attendance and it is
working. Thank you Fred.
Thank you also to Dale and Sharon
Peterson for the wonderful Sub sandwiches and beautiful table display.
Thank you for arranging us to visit the Hummingbird Haven in Dixie,
Washington. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the hummingbirds
greatly.
With nothing more to come before
the members, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectively
Submitted,
Wanda Stokes,
Secretary
