I want to thank everyone who came to the banquet and those who helped with setting up, and taking stuff down.  It seemed to be a good time had by all.

    If you felt like you got shorted on the food a little - don't feel too upset.  Our caterer thought the banquet was the next weekend.  We got ahold of her about 2:30.  So she only had 3 1/2 hours to get enough together for 100 people.  She was very apologetic for the mix-up - and was very sorry.  It's kind of like having a sled break down during the middle of a pull, we just have to dig in and get things fixed and deal with what we have.  It all worked out in the end.

    The schedule is finally done and our summer is planned.  Rod has the caps ordered, and we will be taking orders for the t-shirts at the March meeting.

    Keep working on sponsors - we only have a few.  I know times are hard, but stress the point that you get a whole year's worth of advertising for $200.

    Many of you have been asking me about my tractor and how things are going.  Well, the engine is in the tractor, and I have all the manifolds on, oil in it, and it has plenty of oil pressure when cranking it over.  So now I'm in the process of hooking up the governor and getting the water and fuel hooked up.  I'm hoping by the time we have the March meeting, I will be able to actually drive it down and put it in the basement under its own power!!!!
