A Message From The President Dec 2024
Fellow Pushrodders,
This is your newsletter for December 2024 and January 2025.
Good news: Our thoughts and prayers for Roy Rager worked. He came out of his minor stroke with little effect. A lucky man indeed.
Bad news: “Tarheel” John Livingston needs all of are good thoughts and prayers to help him get through some serious heart issues and other complications. As of tonight, I don’t know if he can spend Thanksgiving at home. Tarheel is a tough old bird that has beaten tough times before.
Don Hoffman (Kelley Callaghan`s father in law) is in a rehab facility for a serious medical condition. At 94 years old, things get tougher, Hope for the best.
Our December meeting/ Christmas dinner is December 7th at the Hoquiam Elks starting at social at 3, dinner at 4 and meeting, fun, games and awards at 5. You are to bring your favorite side dish and two new unwrapped toys. One for a boy and one for a girl. The bar will be open. We have approx. 100 members coming to dinner. Come see old friends and meet some new ones. A few surprises are in store.
Some members may not know that the annual charity auction was not going to happen due to the lack of anyone wanting to take the responsibility for heading up the event. At the last moment, I threw out the challenge and one person took charge. Patty Rager opened the door for progress and Fred Scott backed her up with ideas and resources to make it happen. I am challenging all Pushrod members to contribute to our auction in a positive way. It can be a cash donation or something of value that we can use in the auction that people will want to bid on. This is a way that you can help the club have a very successful event. Any questions or comments you can call me at 360-581-9911.
Happy Holidays everyone and hope that 2025 will be a better year for us all.
Denny
