Hello from your new Pres! First off I would like
to thank the outgoing Pres Tim Tanley for the
great job he did. Well it was one of those
elections where I was in the wrong place at the
right time. Here s a little bit on how I got started
collecting. My family lived on the west side of
Flandrau State Park in New Ulm. My brother
and I would go to the park dump and see what
we could find. We started finding all these
different beer cans and bottles from all over the
U.S. We couldn t believe why people would
throw all these cool looking cans and botttles
away. So we started to them home and I was
hooked. Here s some old news by now, but
since the guy across the border didn t give me a
final deadline I m putting this in anyway. The
Christmas party has come and gone. I hope
everyone had a good time. Everyone should
thank Lori and Mark for hosting the event and if
you re in the B&L you should thank Rick and Bill
for letting us have our antique beer tasting and
raffle. Another thanks to Kristi (from Schells) for
getting Schell s to donate the Season Beer Sign.
It really helped the bottom line for the raffle.
One more thanks to Dave for donating the cool
Hamm s sign. We didin t sell all the tickets but
we still had a good profit. I acquired a last
minute Christmas present, a Schell s Deer Head
neon. That s all for now. Have a cold one for
me and I hope to see you at the Spring Show on
Sunday April 30th.
