Our thanks to the American Legion
Post in Williamstown for providing a beautiful hall
to accommodate our opening 2007 meeting and a delicious
corned beef dinner. We had over 100 people in attendance
for this meeting. Thanks to all who took the time
to attend and show your support.
Our thanks also go
out to John Emert for donating back a portion of his
50/50 raffle winnings. The club received in the mail
two donations from members Dave & Lynn Aumell and
Tom & Gail Zeli. Arlene Barnard, Membership Chairman
received donations from members George & Cindy Cobb,
Ray & Nancy Bouchard, Robert Nelson Jr. & Kathleen

the Club.
TRADE SHOW
On June 16th and 17th our 3rd annual
Trade Show/Craft Fair & ATV Rodeo will be held
at the Fireman’s Field, Williamstown, NY. This
is a new location. This year we are combining the Trade Show with
an ATV Rodeo as we did last year to make the event
more appealing to all who love four wheeling. Barry
and Thelma Moot are chairpersons for the Trade Show.
Vendor sites are now on sale at $30 each for a 15’
x 30’ spot.
To make this event more successful each year requires
a lot of time and work for all involved. The more people we can count on to help make
the load a lot lighter. Please call Barry or Thelma to offer your help. You can
reach them at 298-2480.
Your help could make the difference in organizing
this event.
