Central Illinois Green Club

I’m sure by now we’ve all had enough rain and cloudy days.
Sunshine and summer-like temps are forecast and they are definitely a welcome sight. Another welcome sight will be all of the delicious dishes and desserts our members will be bringing to our potluck meeting on May 18th. CIGC will supply the chicken and drinks.
Be at the Bonfield Lions Hall at 6:00 pm. with your appetite.
Recently we lost two members – Don Buck and Jerry Tibbs. Send a card and please keep their families in your prayers. A few prayers or a card for our members that are ill and/or recovering from illnesses would be much appreciated as well. Keep your eye on the Greensheet and check out all the events coming up. There’s plenty for everyone to enjoy.
Don’t forget we have plenty of raffle tickets available for the pedal tractor to purchase or sell.
If you have some friends bring them to a meeting and let’s get them on our membership list.
I hope to see all of you on the 18th.
Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann

Here we are in March already and the first day of spring is Sunday, March 20th.
Looking back at December 21st, the first day of winter, it’s great to see a warmer days coming.
It also means there’s much work ahead and fun times, too.
Our big event “Ride the River” will be in August and there will be some new changes to look forward to.
Don’t forget all proceeds benefit our club.
Our next meeting is March 16th at 7:00 pm at the Bonfield Lions Club hall.
At this time I will ask that you keep John Fahs in your Prayers as he is in the hospital.
Please keep everyone in your Prayers that have lost loved ones or are recovering from illness.
I will see all of you at the next meeting.
Sincerely,

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

Happy Holidays to all CIGC members, their families and all of our many friends! If you over-ate again on Thanksgiving, you are not alone. We can work it off just in time for the next holiday. If not, just make that annual New Year’s resolution about a 2022 diet. Here’s a quick reminder for everyone. Make sure you’ve highlighted December 15th on your calendars for the CIGC Christmas party and annual meeting at 6:00 pm at the Herscher Legion Hall. Don’t forget to bring a silent auction item. Everyone needs to RSVP and send payment no later than December 8, 2021. Check the Greensheet for more details. Here is something we all should make time for this Holiday Season. Spend more time with our families and always be thankful for everything we have.

Keep everyone who is ill or have lost loved ones in your prayers. Be safe and I hope to see all of you on the 15th.
Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann

I hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather. Cooler days are a nice break after some really hot summer temperatures. Summer shows are over but there’s plenty to be done with fall harvest. The crops are looking good and ready to be taken out of the field. Sponsor a plow day when you are finished. If you got some bean ground to plow, I’m sure there are a few guys that will show up! Please, be safe out there and be careful, as we must remember those machines won’t stop unless we turn them off to make adjustments. I want to thank everyone that attended the plow day at the Rodney Schwark farm on September 18th. With many other events on that day, we had a good turnout. The diehards that comet out plow put on a great demonstration giving those iron horses a good workout dragging their moldboard plows through the wheat stubble. Everyone owes Rodney a big thank you for giving us a place to ploy and furnishing another wonderful meal at lunchtime. Don’t forget to keep all of our members and friends in your prayers as they recover from accidents or illnesses. October 20th is our next membership meeting at 7:00 PM in the Bonfield Lions Club Hall. The November potluck is coming fast. You must reserve a spot. Reservations will be taken at the meeting for the November 17th potluck. I look forward to seeing all of you again.

Bring a friend or three!
Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann
