Hello Fellow Borderbatchers, Tim Tanley here. If some of you don’t know, I’ve been elected as your club president for 2016 and have enjoyed being a member of this fine club for some time now. (Editors note: he went to the bathroom and got elected while he was away) Here I am enjoying a cold beer and good conversation at “Thirsty Thursday” in the shop of Ted Stueber “The Stubie on the Right” while drafting my first newsletter. It’s always a good time here. You just never know who might stop by. First of all I would like to thank the outgoing president Dan Stueber, “The Stubie on the Left” for the fine job he did in 2015. The club tried something new this year. A float was entered in the New Ulm Christmas Parade of Lights. This parade was held the Friday evening after Thanksgiving. The float looked great with all the beer signs and colored lights. A special guest on the float was the “Hamms’s Bear”. Does anyone know who that was in that suit? Many members helped by donating the truck, wagon, signs, lights, and time. Thanks to everyone who helped in anyway to make our entry in the parade a success. Looking forward to next years’s parade. Thanks again to Mark and Lori for hosting the Christmas Party this year at their home. After that The B&L Bar also provided a fun place for us to hold the auction and raffle. Thanks to Dave V. for the signs that were auctioned and everyone else who donated their time and efforts that day. Also, Gary S. and Dave W. did a great job again organizing the raffle ticket sales. If you have not attended the Christmas Party in awhile, I urge you to come, you’ll enjoy it. In closing I just want to say that I am looking forward to another event filled year with my fellow club members.
