Rocky Mountain Tractor Pullers Association

Happy New Year and welcome to all in RMTPA. Elections were held in January and Officers and Board Members were elected. Just two days after elections were held, we lost our President, Mark Wilder, to a new career that takes him away from Colorado most of the week. As per our by-laws, the Vice-President must fill the vacant seat, thus I, Marvin Brown, am the President for 2010. The Board elected Dwight Hopper as the new Vice President based on election results with Dwight having the next most votes.

A Board meeting was held on Saturday, February 13 in Colorado Springs. Discussions were about Safety First in RMTPA 2010. Safety Director is me, Marvin Brown. Rules Committee Chairperson is Dwight Hopper. Equipment Chairpersons are Jim Fulmer and Cody Wescoat. Electronic Equipment Chairpersons are Chet Moyer and Allen Goodman. Sharon Tyma is in charge of our finances for 2010. Paying your dues early will keep us on the right course for 2010.

Awards were discussed and Chairman Allen Goodman will take bids on your new idea voted in at the annual meeting – Pins – instead of trophies – to lower our cost of awards and to keep from raising hook fees.

Work to the sled and scales will be needed for our 2010 season. The Board will meet and assess repairs and schedule them, at which time we will have workdays to repair our equipment. If anyone has talents to help, contact any Board Member. This will help our club be safe and hold down operation costs.

The Board will be working on our pulling schedule as soon as possible. If any member wants a pull in their area, contact Allen Goodman, Secretary, with contact information as soon as possible. We will sort out and assign dates after our meetings with the contact people.

To all members of RMTPA, a President Challenge to get a $25.00 donation from your local small businessmen and women. This donation will help with our costs of pulling in the coming year and is a tax deduction for them. See the letter and form attached for more details. We will announce the businesses at each pull and post them nationally on our website. The Challenge promotion ends May 1, 2010.

With all of your help, I know that we will have a safe and successful 2010 pulling season.

More information to come to members as it becomes available.

Thanks to all in advance. Call me anytime to discuss pulling or tractors.

Marvin Brown
President RMTPA
