PRESIDENT ’S CORNER
Hello Fellow Tin Lizzies,
Chicken Chicken Chicken – who has the Chicken. Now let me see, that would be me. I think that I have
had it long enough, and the reason that I have had it this long can only mean 1 of 2 things. Either someone
has had a mishap and not said anything about it, or we have not had the T’s out enough in order for this
cherished time honored tradition to change hands.
Now you know what this means, we need some additional outings planned. We have our
monthly breakfast scheduled each month and a busy August coming up, so go ahead and
put on your thinking caps and come up with some sort of day trip for us to do. Perhaps
someone wants to schedule a luncheon somewhere (along the same idea as our breakfast)
on a weekend not already taken.
Remember, it does not have to be anything extravagant -- pick a place for a lunch, or map
out a route then choose a day and place and put it all into motion.
Thanks,
Dean
For months, our club members have worked on rebuilding a Canadian engine that was donated to us for
the sole purpose of raising money for the MTFCA Museum. Raffle tickets were sold at the Annual Meeting and are still available from MTFCA Officers and Tin Lizzie Members. Only 500 were printed, they are
still just $10 each. Neil and Mary Ann O’Brien delivered the engine complete to the Museum in May. The
drawing will be held in August in Albuquerque. The following pictures were sent via Mary Ann
