Greetings Everyone!

Well, supposedly spring is right around the corner. Unfortunately, Mother Nature hasn’t figured out which corner.

At last month’s meeting we had 22 members present and one guest. We also had a new member

 join. Welcome, Jason Coleman!

Mike took home the Door Prize. Al, Stan, Frank (X4), Peter, Tom (X2), and Jason all took home raffle prizes. Our guest, Nick took home the 50/50 prize in addition to some nice auction lots.

We had a great time at the meeting. There was much good natured kidding and laughter.

 Just goes to show you that a good time can be had without spending a lot of money.

A BIG reminder that our show will be taking place at the end of the month. Setup will take place on

Thursday, March 29 and the Show will be on Friday, March 30^th and 31^st.We will need help with the setup and Larry will have signup sheets at this month’s meeting. It’s not tough work, but there is enough. More hands make it go quicker and easier.

Our auctions have been hanging right around 35 to 40 lots. We could use a few more consignors to increase the number of lots. It would be nice to see 45 to 50 each month.
