Hey Showfolks! Greetings from the road. I hope that this email is finding you all in good spirits! I wanted to touch base and tell you a little about our last meeting. Harry and Eva Mason hosted our meeting in Woodland, California where his show was set up. We all had a chance to catch up a little after the long hiatus. We had an amazing barbeque dinner and a general good time with a good turnout considering the time of year. It was really good to see everyone who attended and we are looking forward to seeing all of you at our November meeting! During the August meeting we discussed the loan that we gave to Pacific Coast Showmen's Association for the roof replacement, a motion to forgive the final $10,000 payment to Showfolks was put to a vote and passed with the majority in favor. PCSA President, Kelley Butler, was in attendance and expressed her gratitude to Showfolks for their generous contribution to the betterment of our sister club. The roof has been replaced and the club is making money again. The floors have been replaced and the club is being restored to its former glory.
Because of the pandemic, we were unable to raise much money in 2020, and as the shows begin to get on their feet again this year, it has been difficult. We are doing everything we can to raise money. Because of the low fundraising this year I spoke to Kelley Butler about using the PCSA clubhouse to host our Banquet and Ball. We decided to have both banquets at the same time in order to save money for both clubs.
The next meeting will be held in Lodi, CA at our clubhouse on Tuesday, November 2nd. There will be a board meeting at 5 P.M, dinner served at 6 P.M and a regular meeting at 7 P.M.
We hope you all can make it! Wishing you all the very best!
Gena Tuttle
2020-2021 Showfolk's President
