Hello All,
I have to say that if you are not attending the meetings, you really should! I was lucky enough to be able to attend last night's meeting and it did my heart and soul good to see everyone that was in attendance!
There was a great turn out! Past President, Kris Brajevich did a great job of decorating. The St. Patty's day meeting turned out great, thanks to all who helped with decorations and clean up.
Lennie Davisson is probably sad that he was not there, since his name was drawn for the capsule drawing.
Dinner was a taco truck and the food was very good. I do believe everyone enjoyed it.
President, Jill Moyer announced that her
Banquet will be held on January 10, 2026 in Morgan Hill. I will keep everyone posted on the details as they become available.
2026 officers were announced as follows:
Chairman of the Board: Jill Moyer
President: Sharie Davis
1st vice: Miranda Nugent
2nd vice: Karla Kinsel
3rd vice: Greg Jewel
Treasurer: Marta Quinn
Recording secretary: Linda Davisson
Corresponding secretary: Sally McClain
Past President, Harry Mason and First vice, Sharie Davis announced that they have been in cahoots trying to plan another cruise for January 2027 as they will be Presidents at the same time next year. Sharie will be SFA President and Harry will be PCSA president. Any of you that attended the 2025 cruise that we did with PCSA will remember how much fun that cruise was.
Past President Harry Mason also made a suggestion that we combine our membership with PCSA. Nothing was voted on, he just threw the idea out there and everyone should think about it before we take that step. He suggested that we have one application and give the applicant the choice to check the box at the top for both clubs or only one or the other. If you have any thoughts on the subject, feel free to reach out to Harry or myself and I will forward to Harry.
Scholarship Chairwoman, Kris Brajevich read the list of scholarship applicants and volunteers for the scholarship committee were appointed .
A lot more went on and there were lots of nice prizes raffled off. I just tried to remember the highlights of the meeting.
Again I want to urge all members to try and attend the meetings. Just seeing everyone and enjoying getting to visit with your fellow show people is worth the trip.
The next meeting was tentatively set for October 7 in Fresno. The SFA meeting will be before the Show Party that will be held after the closing of the show on that night. That is notoriously a fun, fun party since it is close to Halloween and everyone dresses up.
There was an update on Cynthia Johnston's condition. Her brother, Ken assures us she is back to her normal happy self! She is feeling much better.
Jackie Larson informed us that Debby Larson is in a step down unit and is doing much much better. Keep her in your prayers.
I am sure there is a lot more I could tell you but I will close for now.
Remember I post everything I send out on the showfolksofamerica.com website and if anyone has anything to share, please don't hesitate to email me!
