April, 2024
Dear Members and Friends,
I would like to thank everyone that was able to attend the 2024 MMCI winter show in Luverne, MN. The Siouxland Collectors Club put a lot of extra effort into setting up all the tours. There were 16 different vendors at the show, 200 people were able to attend the banquet on Friday night and there were also a large number of items on the auction Saturday.
Two positions are open on the club’s board of directors. We have 3 candidates running for the positions: John Meagher, Trenton Kula, and Kenton Benner. Please take some time to read their autobiography. Ballots will be sent out in early May to all the current club members.
The MMCI scholarship applications due date is May 31st. Make sure to go to the https://minneapolismolinecollectors.org/projects-contests/mmci-scholarship/ to find the application form. Children, grandchildren of current members, or current members who are going to attend post- secondary school are encouraged to apply.
The MMCI summer show will be held at the Coulee Antique Engine Club, in Westby, WI. August 2nd,3rd, & 4th 2024. The Coulee Antique Engine Club is working hard to put together an MM display. I encourage you to make plans to attend. Alot of hotels are in the area, and I encourage you to makes plans to attend.
I hope that everyone has an eventful summer.
MMCI President, Jay Groskreutz
