Special Events and Meetings:

The Bartlow Prototype Dealership Building has officially been acquired by Chapter 17!   You have received letters giving details of upcoming events for this Fall.  

 A review of renovations to the Bartlow Building to prepare it for its new role as an active exhibiting IH museum is being updated at our next Building Committee meeting.  Again please note that volunteers are needed to help with the renovations and staffing during Museum open house dates.  The front section of the Museum's roof has been replaced in April.  The restored Farmall Cub tractor secured for this year's raffle has been making the rounds of fairs and shows - we still need additional volunteers to aid in selling raffle tickets at the various shows this fall.  The drawing for the tractor will be during the Annual Meeting in November.  There will be elections for two Board of Director seats at the Annual Meeting. 

Members are encouraged to send our Treasurer, Shirley Bordner their e-mail address so that they can receive information quickly and less expensively about Chapter events and news.  Again, volunteers will be needed to help with the renovations during the scheduled work sessions.  

'07 Red Power Roundup show books are still available at the meeting - cost is $22.00. 

2011 dues were due in May and include the local and national IHCC national dues for a total of $25.00.

The Chapter was unsuccessful in its application to host the 2012 Red Power Round-up and will try again for a future year.
