It was a day with light snow and lots of drifting on Feb. 27, 2011 when the NMDHA met at “The Landing” in St. Anna, MN, for their annual dinner and meeting. Many members braved the weather to give us a great attendance. The meal was wonderful with lots of sweets provided by our club members.
The Annual Meeting was brought to order by our President Barb Schloemer.
New members were introduced.
The club has purchased 150 DVD’s @ $15.00 each. The next DVD’s will cost the club less. Please keep in mind people in nursing homes, those who have birthdays and all those you think may be interested in our 2010 Field Day DVD when selling them.
