3 PRESIDENTS' MESSAGE January 2011 With the New Year on us and all of the offices filled, let's have a good Model T'ing season. It is good to see that our new members have volunteered to chair or help with the committies. I have a co-president this time, thank you Dick Borton. This is a new experience for me. We have also split the duties of secretary. This may be a little confusing at first but all will work out. We have a busy year, with the Monroe Swap Meet coming up and some spring tours coming up. Speaking of tours, we will soon be getting out T's out of storage and ready for touring. There is a check list for those who need a list of items to do before getting on the road again. Let's have a good T'ing season and hope to see you at our next meeting. Co-President Dwaine Engler

President Dwaine Engler and Dick Borton Vice President Larry Mann Secretary Steve and Diane Tomaso (south end) Joyce Arneson (north end) Treasurer Ann Musolf Thanks to all who volunteered for these positions for next year. We have a member who spoke up after much thought and said he would donate a lot of his inventory of extra car parts to the club if the club used the money to buy tools that would be useful to members to check out and use. This was turned over to the swap meet committee and there was a lot of discussion on this matter. There will be a report at our next meeting.
