We have reached 2020! I hope everyone had a joyous holiday season with family and friends.

If you are interested in joining us, please see the ad in this current issue of the Corresponder Magazine.
Are you looking for some fun along with time with friends to reminisce about Moline? Maybe you have an interest in meeting other Moline enthusiasts from around the country if any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, we are looking to fill two open positions on the board of directors. Feel free to contact any board member for additional information.
A quick reminder that all coloring contest entries must be received by February 10th, 2020. All entries will be displayed and judged at the winter show in Texarkana Arkansas. Details can be found on the website, if you have any questions you can contact Kim Groskreutz at jayg@bevcomm.net or by phone 507-462-3661.
Do you have any children or grandchildren who would like to apply for the 2020 MMCI Scholarship, if so, you can find details under Projects. Two scholarships will be rewarded this year; watch for information on a memorial scholarship.

Coloring Contest for our Winter Convention
Winter is a good time to have the kids color for our Coloring Contest. Time is getting short to finish the pages they want to enter. Be sure to postmark by February 10 so Kim can take to the winter show for judging. Send us a photo of your kids coloring the MM pages!!
Make it a fun time to sit with them and talk about what makes MM tractors and implements so special. Do you know why prairie gold and red were chosen as colors for the company? Check out the history of the first coloring contest and print some pages for any child under 16 to color and enter the contest.
