3/12:

Can you believe it is the 12th of March - ALREADY!!!  I'm still trying to figure out where 2008 went!  And we are almost done with the first quarter of 2009.

    Thanks go out to all who attended the meeting at my house this past Saturday.  We had about 50members in attendance.  We only had two fires on the grill this year.  Big improvement from the 6 fires we had last year.  Oh well - lots of grease makes for a good burger - right??

    The MATPA hats are in.  They are $10 each if you want one.  I have them, just let me know.  We are also taking orders for T-Shirts.  The deadline for ordering them is April 1st.  We will probably order a few extra - but not too many.  I don't want a bunch of T-Shirts sitting around that we don't have paid for.

    Keep working on Sponsors - Thanks to Ben Frazee for getting several sponsors from the Slater area.  We are up to 9 total.  The more we get, the more interesting the points chase will be.

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped in giving me advise on putting my tractor together this year.  I've run in to many different "problems" over the last few months trying to get this together, but it's been an interesting journey.  I'm down to the short rows - but as most of  you know - the short rows are the most aggravating.  I hope to have it ready for the fun pull on the 18th.  Special thanks to Steve Timm and Darrell Kusgen (the surgeon and the doctor).

See you all in April!!!!!
