Greetings Fellow Tractor Club Members,

At our February Board Meeting, our Board decided to add 2 additional Board members. At our March 7 meeting, we elected 3 new Board members, 1 of which replaced Grady, who retired. These new members are Steve Roos, Larry Richardson & Kevin Stirewalt. Other officers were elected unanimously.

Our Spring Auction is history. It was quite large with 915 lots auctioned off. We were blessed with many members helping with all the work that had to be done. I am especially grateful for those who spent nights providing security on the fair grounds. Those members were Frank Blank, (2nights) Sean Higgins, Les Hamblin, Jory Privett, Darryl Haley, Kevin Stirewalt, Steve & Teresa Cox with Everleigh, Bill Schmidt & Larry Richardson. Thanks to Steve & Teresa for the excellent meal they prepared for lunch Friday as well as, for Candy & Peggy, who helped set up.

Our Spring tractor ride is coming up April 15. We will meet at 9am & leave at 10am from Sycamore Baptist Church, 133 CR 2424, Decatur. We plan to have at least 2 of our people movers there for those who want to ride. We will be having lunch at the Greenwood General Store & Café. The club will be picking up the tab for those who RSVP to Steve at 940-577-6045 by Monday, April 10th.

The deadline for scholarship applications is postmarked by March 25 &
received by March 30. Please contact Teresa Cox at 940-577-1071 for additional information.

At our next meeting Dennis Hamblin is planning to present a program on the tractor show in Rolag, MN he & Bill Schmidt attended. I hope to see you at Chisholm Trail Hometown Restaurant on April 4th.
