Thought I'd take a minute and spread the word since it's always the same few 20 or 30 members that show up regularly at the meetings.
I started off Saturday morning carrying a trailer load of tires from the track to the coliseum last weekend. That's a story in it self but I'll skip that part for now. As I patiently waited for my turn to unload tires, along with the hundreds of other McLennan co residents, I found myself with a little time to kill on my hands. A few of us were milling around outside our trucks and I got to talking with the gentleman parked behind me. Turns out that he was at one time a WEMC member. Long story, short I invited him to the club meeting for tonight and he showed up with pictures taken approx 65 years ago when he joined WEMC. That's right, he joined in what he is thinking was 1938 or 39. He did let his membership expire probably around the mid to late 50's but rejoined as an honorary member tonight. He was on the committee that voted to purchase the property we own now.
If you get a chance to meet 83 year old Harvey Kirk, introduce yourself and give him a thank you for providing us with the facility we have today.
