Raffle Tractor

Raffle tractor at Madawaska trade made $1215 in ticket sales. Lots of people helped out, was a great weekend. Tractor is back at the museum. We have tickets for anyone who would like to take and sell. If anyone needs tickets, contact Carol or Phil.  Carol will do some laminated posters for those who want to sell tickets. If anyone hears of a place we can sell tickets, let us know and we will try to get the tractor there. The next place to sell tickets right now will be the fair. We also need to stress that some of the money goes to the Cancer group.  

Pulling Committee

 We will meet next Saturday May 10^th at 9AM at the Ag Museum to look at truck and trailer and get it ready to go for the season. Will also check on registrations for truck and insurance to get everything ready. When you get to a pull, if everyone can jump in and help to set up, that would be very helpful.  If you do not have insurance, you cannot pull or participate in events.  You are able to purchase both membership and insurance the day of the event if you do not have it before.

Pulls

 PA System - Carol could not find anything that she was confident would work. Chad is going to look into it. Recommended to see what he could get for no more than $800 to $1,000. He will let Carol and Phil know what he finds as an option and a decision will be made.

See attached updated list of pulls and events.

Membership

Invite someone to come join us to increase our membership.
