Howdy Fellow Commodore Users!

Last months meeting we talked about the possibility of getting some state of the art Commodore goodies, as was pictured in last month's newsletter. If you missed that meeting, here is your chance to speak up and open that pocketbook up for a group purchase. We discussed buying some items to help supplement our door prize selections, and some folks got excited and rightly so!

Some of that hardware is not easy to come by, or perhaps you heard about it after it's small production run has run out. We all know our club is all about show and tell, and it is fun to look over someone's newly gotten piece of hardware or software. Bring your checkbooks with you along with a page or two of something you would like to see as a doorprize for our C=4 Expo and we will discuss it's inclusion, if possible to the door prizes we will offer. Or if you want to purchase some hardware yourself, it is possible to get some kind of discount with a mass order from the club.

Speaking of hardware, many of you know we have been keeping our hardware collection at Steve Winkle's barn for many years now. How long has it been? Seems like it might be 10 years or so, give or take. As most of you know, Steve Winkle passed away suddenly last fall, and we have been discussing thepossibility of a future move of our equipment. Dave Fisher has volunteered a storage space he has available, and we will probably take him up on that sooner than he expected. Roger talked with Jan just a few weeks ago, and she indicated she was thinking about selling the homestead. That would require us to move our stuff before that happens. She has indicated that she hopes to sell the place this spring. We discussed the possibility of a spring time move of our equipment, but now it looks like we have to move that time table up a few more months. It is already February, and the first day of Spring will be a little over a month away by the time you read this. We will be setting up a time to get the inventory moved. Probably it will have to be in two shifts. One to load a truck, van, or wagon, and another shift to unload everything in an organized manner.

If you would like to help, please let one of the officers know so we can keep you in the know of the exact date. We will probably be in the need of boxes for some of the stuff to help keep it organized until it can be properly inventoried. If you have a source of boxes that can be used for packing, save up some for our project coming up.

See you this month at the Retirement Home. For those of us who dropped by for the last meeting, we found out the building now has a new name! The address is still the same, and our meeting room is still the same. So, see you on Sunday February 17th.

Keep on Commodoring!
