Comrades,
We had 15 members present at the February meeting. Dinner was turtle soup
from the muskrat dinner. We had the State Inspector Rick Zellman there to help
explain the ledger process and to help Earl explain the account situation.
Our Quartermaster Earl has the books all straighten out with the help of our
State Inspector Rick Zellman. He has created a ledger and itemized all the
accounts within the checking and savings and CD’s. He plans on putting the funds
back in the appropriate accounts as soon as the CD from MBT is due.
Our Muskrat dinner was successful. Jr. Vice Dick Brazeau did a very fine job with
the event and big applause to Joe Dusseau and everyone who helped get the
dinner started and cooked. There were many compliments for the cooking. Dale
Morin and Bob LaPointe made some good money running the Texas Hold-em
Tournament that night. Silent auction, gun raffle and 50/50 made quite a bit of
money, thanks to our sellers. Special thanks to Sheila and her daughter Andrea
for selling 50/50. Great big thanks to all who helped out during the event. Once
again fine job members.
