 June 29, 2024

The second quarter meeting was called to order at 11 am at

the S.E. Indiana F.A.R.M. Club show on the Ripley County

Fairgrounds, Osgood, Indiana by club president Don Villwock.

The minutes were read by Secretary Pat Schlegel and

approved by the membership. Then followed by the report from

the Membership Secretary Neil Rissler.

At this time Don asked those in attendance to do introductions.

The attendance sheet listed 41 members and guests in

attendance. With that completed the Treasurer’s report was

presented by Mark Dickman.

Don then asked Chuck Heck to give a report on the F.A.R.M.

Club Show. Chuck took this time to thank everyone for coming to

the show and told of its origin from an idea shared in his living

room to the show it is today. Mark Dickman made a quick count,

there were 91 International tractors and trucks at the show and

roughly a dozen Cub Cadets. The Cadets were hard to count due

to them constantly being on the move.

Don gave a report on the Success of the Spring Gathering that

was put together by Chapter 33 at Auburn, Indiana. This was

followed by a report of the Red Power Roundup at Spencer, Iowa

by Mark and Dawn Dickman and Don. Norm Jackson gave a

report of the Red Power Showdown at Bloomburg, Pennsylvania.

Old Business:

Discussion of obtaining a host for the state shows for 2025 and

2026. Portland has expressed interest on the club's Facebook

page. Where they were told how they needed to go about making

a bid for the state show. Don will be in contact with Portland's

officers about 2026. We are in dire need of a host for 2025.

George Scherb made scholarship presentations to Macy

Tucker and Jacob Misiniec.

Discussion of the bylaws change was brought before the club.

Dawn Dickman gave instructions on how the club should proceed

with any bylaw changes. Norm Jackson stated that there may be

several articles in the bylaws that need to be updated rather than

just the one brought up by Dwayne Hansford. So Norm suggested

the entire bylaws be reviewed. Vice President Jason Scaggs is

working on the bylaws. The plan is to have proposed changes for

review at the third and fourth quarter meetings followed by a vote

on the changes at the fourth quarter meeting.
