Old Business:

Larry delivered the collected Toys for Tots from our Christmas Party to Salvation Army who were very appreciative.

Tom Rohrer posted pictures of our Holiday celebration on our Facebook page.  Thanks Tom!

Repair List – Apparently rodents like windshield washer fluid.  Nancy reported that a rat (they live on the farm) enjoyed eating the cap off the windshield washer container to get at the sweet tasting (and hopefully deadly!) fluid.  Thank God it was only on the Audi!!!  Caught the varmint as well!!!
