State Events Planner ~ Pam Fischer

Are we there yet? Is it spring yet? When will it warm up? Sound familiar? Well the Field Meet is coming up quick. By the time you are reading this June will be just weeks away, and it will be time for the Field Meet. The State Events Committee of Abate of Michigan puts on the Field Meet for its members. We enjoy camping, listening to great music, fun, games, and vendors. Many regions help to fund this event and get credit on their rockers at years end. The Committee always uses State Products for our Events, both the Seminar and the Field Meet. Regions can bring items to raffle off or sell. Please do not have “Field Meet” on your items. A proposal has been submitted to the By Laws Committee for Board acceptance, if accepted it will be voted on by the membership in January.  Last year’s Field Meet was a great success, but there is always room for improvement and the committee has tried to improve on a few items. We are continuing the Silent Auction and Live Auction for this event. Bring your auction items, if you are riding and cannot carry them; get with someone in your region or around your region to help get your stuff there. You must reserve Golf Carts through Merry Garrett; these carts are to be used only at the Sturgeon Valley Campground.  You will need your homeowner’s policy number to rent them at the Field Meet. There will not be extra’s to rent due to they are brought in by trailer. This Field Meet is shaping up to be a great time for all. Please contact Eric Eads to purchase your Field Meet tickets, the price goes up after May 31 and at the Gate. Hope to see you in June, Pam Fischer Chairperson State Events
