SCHELL ' S BORDER BATCH
Volume 33 Issue 2
Some news from the Pres , of Schell ' s Border Batch . Had great time and a beer or two at Tim Tanley ' s birthday at the famous B & L bar . Music plus great German potato salad was part of a fun afternoon for those fortunate enough to be there . Lots of chapter members there so we could talk beer , auctions , spring show and meetings . The lovely miss Vickie and I went to the annul beer and other stuff auction at Fairfax in March . We found a Steinhaus beer tap handle from the way past , one Grain belt tap , and Hauenstein salt and pepper shakers . Had to buy a Leinies neon because it went cheap as did all the neon ' s . One should have bought more neon ' s too later we sleep thought that part of the sell . , More news on my treatments , after a visit see Dr . at U of M not all the news was good we didn ' t get 100 % relief from the cancer after the stem cell transplant , with four cycles of treatments this winter , they thought I should take heavy chemo and look to having second transplant not anything we wanted to here . So off we were to Sioux Falls too see Dr . McCaul his thought go back on the treatments we did over the winter and see how that works , that ' s what we are doing . April 11th we are going to Rochester for one more opinion , time goes on and we keep heads
up . In other business the chapter cookbook project is coming along in good shape . We ’ ll be ordering 300 cookbooks and it should be a good project for the club to make some money . Welcome Dave “ Gator ” Weldy as our new VP . I know he ’ ll be great at this new undertaking . At the recent chapter meeting we worked out of budget for Stubiefest and we ’ ll all be working harder to keep better track of passes and money made from this event . We are trying to reemphasize the show aspect of Stubiefest and will place an ad in the local paper about the show to try and generate some walk in traffic during the show hours . We need to make sure we have tables of breweriana for sale too . Last year we were on the same weekend as CANvention and most of our exhibiters were gone to CANvention . This year we ’ re back to a normal weekend so lets make this a great show as well as a fun event and party . Summer is around the corner and looking to get out on the cycle with lots of wind in our face .
