Central Illinois Green Club

It’s amazing and true how fast time flies when you are having fun. July had plenty of it to offer. County Fairs, plow days, tractor rides and shows and the club meetings in between. Now let’s do it all again in August! The Kankakee County Fair was August 3-7th.

I hope you stopped in at the CIGC tractor display and saw Chuck Quick and the wonderful job he has once again done to make this display a big success. He had plenty of the pedal tractor raffle tickets to sell. And don’t forget to sign up for Ride the River coming up on August 20, 2022. August 10th is the deadline to sign up. Our next membership meeting is August 17th at 7:00 pm at the Bonfield Lions Club Hall. Bring some friends along. We will be discussing the ride and everyone’s responsibilities. A quick reminder to everyone is that the Central States Threshermen’s Show is September 1-7th, which features International Harvester and Graham Bradley. Check the Greensheet for other scheduled events this month. Keep everyone in your Prayers that may have lost loved ones or are recovering from illness. I hope to see all of you on the 17th.

Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann

Hello Members and Friends!
I hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. I want to say Thank You to all Veterans who have served and those serving our Country and their families. And never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice. So here we are in June already. I’m sure we can all agree this has been a challenging spring. As always things will get better.
We just have to think positive and keep on going. If it rains, sit back and read the Greensheet. There’s a lot of important things coming up to do. And if you are hungry check out Mary’s Good News and strap on the apron. There’s something for everyone’s taste buds. Our next membership meeting is June 15 @ 7:00pm @ the Bonfield Lions Cub Hall. Bring some friends with you. Don’t forget we have the RTR application forms.
Secure your spot early on another great ride. All proceeds support CIGC. Say a Prayer for those who have lost loved ones and our Members who can’t attend due to health issues. Stay safe everyone and I’ll see you on the 15th.

Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann

I hope everyone is getting ready for another busy spring. Even though we’ve seen some snow showers and temps in the 20’s the first day of planting isn’t far off. I’ve seen some equipment that’s parked outside the sheds ready to go. We need some patience and sunshine to get past the April showers. Don’t forget the kids this month. They’re expecting the Easter Bunny to bring some goodies again. Just a reminder for everyone to keep April 20th open this month for our membership meeting. There will be much to discuss and some refreshments. Bring your ideas and a few friends with you. As always, please keep our members and friends who have lost loved ones or are dealing with health issues in your prayers. I’ll see everyone April 20th at 7:00 pm at the Bonfield Lions Club Hall.

Until then be careful and safe.
Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann

It continues to be an interesting winter so far with one extreme after another. I am sure all the diehard snowmobilers are very happy. I’m ready for spring and I’m sure you are too. Just ignore the groundhogs and leave forecasts to the experts. As part of my monthly message, I remind everyone to keep those with health issues or have lost loved ones in your Prayers. Please take time to give Chuck Quick a call or text him as his wife Cathy is very ill. Any words of kindness are priceless in these hard times. Be sure to check your calendars as the 16th of February is our next membership meeting at 7:00 pm at the Bonfield Lions Hall.

Until then be save and think spring.
See you at the meeting.
Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann

Hello Members and Friends!

This Christmas sure did come and go in a hurry. I hope Santa brought everybody something nice. It was great to see all of you that attended the Christmas party and annual meeting. We had a great meal and lots of fun. We also enjoyed the mildest temperatures I recall for the event. Mark your calendars for December 14, 2022 for this year’s party. Hopefully 2022 brings everyone something to celebrate and good health. January 19, 2022 is our next scheduled membership meeting at the Bonfield Lions Hall at 7:00 pm. There will be a guest speaker and details can be found in the Greensheet. I hope to see all of you then. Please keep everyone in your prayers that have lost loved ones and those who are ill or recovering. Take care and be safe.

Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann
