District
10’s meeting was called to order on January 19 at Big John’s in Bode by
District Coordinator Doug Smith. The pledge of allegiance was recited and we
had a moment of silence for lost brothers and sisters. Roll call of officers
was taken with Doug, DL, Cheryl, Scott, Ron, Larry, Deb, Sheila, Mark, Cori and
Jean being present. Jess was excused and Dean was not because we thought it
unfair he was on a Carribean Cruise while it was
below zero here. We welcomed new member Casey Hurn.
Sexy-tary’s report: Jean read the minutes from the
December meeting. Larry Raner made a motion to accept, Terry Arnold seconded;
motion carried with Jeremy Hauck and Sue Hill abstaining.

Larry Raner seconded the motion; motion carried

that the state had finished their makeover on their website and it had caused
major problems for a lot of the districts websites. He is pretty sure he has

Assistants
Report:
DL indicated we need auction items for
the chili feed since that is what funds us for the rest of the year. See
Sheila for our events calendar at a cost of 5.00 and also see Sheila to sign up
for the pool tournament following the meeting.
State
Meeting:
There will be a 1 day training course for new officers in April. Remember to
notify Doug of any motorcycle accidents you hear of. He needs the name of
person involved, county it was in, the situation as in alcohol, right of way
etc and whether the person was wearing a helmet. The state office wants to keep
their own records as they don’t trust the DOT’s way
of keeping records. There is a trustee
position available at the state level and anyone interested talk with Doug and
he would nominate you. They are still going to have campers at the park for the
cost of 100.00. Slider Hadley will be the Camper Coordinator. Mary indicated
that the bands will be decided within the next week or so.
Old
Business:
We will start selling tickets for the mini chopper in March. They will be 5.00
a piece and we will only be selling 1500 tickets between now and the Toy Run.
