President's Corner November 2008

Our Fall Swap Meet last month was a success. Attendance was not as good as I would have liked, but we had 29 people sign in, and I’m sure there were some who did not sign the sheet. This is up about 30% from last year. We had a few collectors from Texas, and Kansas, but not as many out-of –the area members as we usually have. There was plenty of equipment available. I think everyone came away with some different items from what they came with, and there were plenty of bargains in the auctions. Everything went smoothly, and we were out of the building in time to see most of the OU/Texas game. Thanks to all who attended, and a special “Thank You” to those who helped make it a success.

This month’s monthly meeting will be on November 8^th at 6 PM at the Hometown Buffet. I cannot recall that a topic was selected for the meeting, so let’s make it a fairly general topic. Everyone should bring something of interest to the meeting. It can be something just acquired, something that is unusual, something that is a favorite, or something in the middle of restoration. So, there is no excuse to come empty handed. And of course you can bring several items if you would like. Don’t forget the donation auction! The business to be conducted at the meeting will be about the Christmas party. We still need someone to host it in their home. Hopefully a volunteer will come forward. See you at the meeting!
