[AT] Fw: Re: Massey Ferguson - Now weather

[Gene Dotson]

    Ken;, All others too.
    If you can arrange to be there on Wednesday evening, we would welcome 
you to join the A.T.I.S. group for supper at Bandidos restaurant in 
Portland. We will leave out campsite at 6:00pm with all of us in our lawn 
chairs on Gary's implement trailer pulled by his beautiful Cockshutt 20. 
This has become an annual event and gets a lot of notice from all the folks.
    Thursday evening is the annual A.T.I.S. Charity benefit supper in 
Decatur at the Back Forty restaurant. Dave Rotigel makes the arrangements 
there and you can let him know if you want to attend. This is another 
benefit of being an A.T.I.S. member. The tractor group and engine group get 
together to make this a great evening out.
    Camping is not a requirement for joining us on all of our escapades. 
Just bring a friendly interest and help support A.T.I.S. Just let us know 
ahead of time so we can have a number for the reservations.

                Gene Dotson, A.T.I.S. Tractor Wagonmaster

    P.S. Anyone leaving Portland hungry have only themselves to blame.  G.D.
