By Webmaster | February 16, 2010

Lee just sent out a meeting reminder. Here it is:

———————————————————————–

Hi gang -

***OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18 AT 7:00 P.M.***

We had an entertaining meeting and received a pop quiz from our President.

Billy Bugg won “Split the Pot” and Evelyn Rushing won the door prize.

The main business item was a discussion about the possibility of changing the date of the Spring Hunt in order to accommodate several member’s schedules.

Please try to attend our next meeting, if you have not renewed your annual membership you may do so then for $25.00. The club still welcomes visitors, new members, and any ideas you may have to keep MMDC moving forward.

Regards, Lee Henwood
751-4139

November 2009 Meeting Recap

By Webmaster | December 3, 2009

Sara just sent out the notes from the November meeting:

——————————————————————————-

Hello All!

Our last meeting was pretty eventful! We discussed the fall hunt and it seemed as though everyone had a reallly fun time. The club has had quite a few new members join as well. And, if you did not know, the BBQ fundraiser was a great SUCCESS! We also had elections for the 2010 MMDC officers. They are as follows: President-Mr.. Sid Witherington, Vice President-Mr. Joey Rendon, Secretary-Mr.Lee Henwood, and Treasurer still remains open. If you would like to be our new treasurer or have an idea of who you think would do well in as that officer, please let us know ASAP(even if it is at our Christmas Party).

Our next meeting will be our annual MMDC CHRISTMAS PARTY! As usual it will be on Thursday, December 17th at 7:00p.m.. We DO NOT have our party at the library. Our party will take place at 7940 Farmingdale. It’s the Farmington Meadows Homeowners Association building. The lights will be on and you will see a couple of us already there. We will be swapping gifts again this year. A man brings a wrapped male gift that should cost no more than around $10.00. The women should bring a wrapped female gift costing no more than $10.00. Please mark clearly on your package MALE or FEMALE. Also this year, we will be playing BINGO for those who like to play the game. That also hinges on time as well.

If you have any questions about how to get to 7940 Farmingdale, e-mail Sid Witherington at RelicKing@aol.com

If your last name begins with any of the letters A-H please bring a dessert.
I- P please bring a salad
Q-Z please bring a dip for chips or a casserole

Under no circumstances do you have to bring what is on that list. That is given for those who need an idea. If you choose to make something else, bring it on, I promise nothing will be thought of it.

See you at the party!

Sara Kee

November 2009 meeting reminder

By Webmaster | November 17, 2009

Jim just sent out a reminder about this week’s meeting:

———————————————–

This is just a reminder that our Nov. club meeting is this Thursday, 11/19. Carolyn will have an update on the fall hunt, which turned out nicely attended and a good time seemed to be had by all. Of importance, we will also be nominating and electing all new club officers, ie, president, vice president, treasurer and sec. So, it is important to be at this meeting and also be giving some thought to whom to fill these spots. We will also discuss the Christmas party, which is scheduled for Dec. 17th. With the let up in rain now for a couple of weeks, hopefully you all have been out doing some digging and we will have a bunch of good finds to show at the meeting. Also, remember to bring all your dug wheat cents since last meeting.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Happy hunting,

Jim Bryson

Finding a lost wedding ring in Atoka

By Webmaster | October 11, 2009

Recently a gentleman from Atoka contacted the club for help in solving a problem. It seems that his wife was in their backyard, playing with the family dog when her wedding ring went flying. Although they searched extensively, they were unsuccessful in finding the ring. Several members of the Memphis Metal Detector Club made the trek out to Atoka and had a small buddy-hunt to try and locate the ring. Club secretary Carolyn Glaze extended the search area a bit and managed to find the ring.

Unfortunately a trip through the lawn mower had dislodged the stone, but the setting (and much of the sentimental value) was intact.

Have you lost something metallic? Perhaps the Memphis Metal Detector Club or one of our members can help! Although there is no fee for such efforts, donations to the club treasury are always appreciated.
