Meeting June 3 2007

The GKCTCC Rocket Ship landed on Sunday, June 3, 2007 at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs for a picnic and meeting. The weather was beautiful but the load was light with 21 in attendance. Even though the attendance was low the food was in abundance so no one went away hungry. Following the picnic the meeting started at
2:00 p.m. No new members or guests were present. The April 1 meeting minutes were approved along with a financial report by Bary Porter. Farm Heritage Day at Bonner Springs on Saturday, July 14, 2007 was discussed in detail. Thurman Duncan has offered to grade the tracks for the tractor pulls. Mike Corum will provide a pull back tractor for the large sled. Thanks to both individuals for donations of their equipment and time. The Dream Factory Tractor Cruise was a great success in collecting
$17, 466.00 for the Dream Factory. Thanks to Dan Hanna, chairperson, for his outstanding leadership. The American Royal Parade is scheduled for Saturday, September 29, 2007 in Kansas City, Mo. The theme this year is “Show Me Your Royal.” The GKCTCC Meeting/White Elephant Auction in November will take place at Mike and Karen Corum’s in North Kansas City.
Other topics discussed included the Missouri State Fair and Tractor Show in Boonville, Mo., Sept 6-9, 2007 (featuring John Deere Tractors). Donation of the late Jim Hendricks’ tractors to the club was discussed. The club voted to accept the gracious donation. Hopefully everyone will be resting up for the Farm Heritage Day activities on Saturday, July 14,
2007 because it will take a total club effort to make it a day of fun for all. Hope to see you all on the next space flight.
