January 2024
Dear Members and Friends,
With the start of a mild winter, things have changed the second weekend in January, winter has arrived! With that said a lot of people might be cooped up in the houses with time to do some thinking. MMCI club is looking for people who are interested in being part of the board of directors. A few interesting things we do are doing MM research, help put articles together for the MM Corresponder, working with calendar if this interests you feel free to contact one of the current board members.
Hopefully all current MMCI members have received the club packet with the calendar by now. I would like to thank everyone how helped put the calendar together and get them mailed out. I would like to also thank everyone for supporting the MMCI club. Besides receiving a club calendar, your dues help support scholarships and preservation grants that the club gives out. Some other things that people might not be aware of that the dues help support, are www.minneapolismolinecollector.org website, MMCI directory, the club carries liability insurance, and we also offer a set amount of money to help support the winter and summer shows.
The Siouxland Collector Club along with the Minneapolis Moline Collectors Club have been working hard on getting all of the final details done for the winter show in Luverne, MN. March 21-23, 2024. Farm tours along with other tours are all listed in the show flyer another note the banquet is going to be held on Friday night at the Big Top.
Students, the MMCI scholarship applications are due May 31, 2024 make sure to go to the www.minneapolismolinecollectors.org to find our application forms.
Hope to see everyone at the upcoming shows, safe travels to everyone.
President,
Jay Groskreutz
