This was something a little different we did for our club meeting. Branch 16 members brought some great food and enjoyed the venue very much! A big thank you to the folks that helped make it happen! Jim and Jeff even rode their dinosaur right through time and the Industrial Revolution to join us!

Yesterday was a beautiful day for some work outside and that’s just what some of our fellow members did!
Jim and Marge Voyles, and Max Porter put some seats on a new tram wagon that will be used as transportation this fall at our show. Thank you for all your hard work and everything you do!

The Greene County Commonwealth published this picture in their “Early Files” section. Here we see a picture of some of the early members of Branch 16’s ladies auxiliary holding a quilt they made to raffle off as a fund raiser in honor of the country’s bicentennial - 7-4-76. Both the Jerome & Richter families are still involved with the Steam-O-Rama!
