Osgood, Indiana
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.
New Business
Director elections were conducted by the club with Brad Craft
being reelected and Gerald Phares elected for his first term.
Dewayne Hansford retired as a director with his term ending.
