Milwaukee Chapter Luncheon

 

The Annual Milwaukee Chapter Luncheon, Veterans' Association of the Chicago and

NorthWestern Railway was held Saturday, October 17, 2015, at Alioto's Restaurant in

Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.  Seventy two members and guests attended.

 

Milwaukee Chapter President, Curt Schmidt, led the group in a prayer and the Pledge of

Allegiance.  A moment of silence was observed for departed member, Jerold Kettner, and a non member, Rob Koppelman.

 

Before our delicious meal of pork chops, chicken, or fish was served, Curt introduced

several of the various Chapter Officers in attendance.

 

Everyone at the luncheon was informed that the Board of Directors voted to keep, Curt Schmidt as General President of the Veterans Association of the C&NW for another year.  This also includes Bob Stewart, General Vice President, and Dianne Koppelman, General Secretary/Treasurer.

 

After a few jokes told by Curt Schmidt, we were entertained by the one and only

"Mr. Senior Moment", Dan Sylvester.  Every year he seems to get better and we all enjoy his songs.  Thanks once again, Dan.

 

Door prizes were drawn and I want to give a big Thank you to Mo and Bill Regner for their

hard work in obtaining all the prizes and passing them out.  Great job!

 

A raffle drawing was held after the door prizes.  Thanks to Dewayne Stiefvater for handling the sale of raffle tickets.

 

Special Thank you goes to Barb Schmidt in her efforts in gathering of raffle prizes, and the handmade C&NW Railroad blanket and pillow she donated, and Christmas Railroad Basket.  Thanks to Yvonne Sylvester - Beer and Pizza Basket, Dixie Marquardt - Wisconsin Product Basket and Pasta Wine Basket, Sandi Heimerl - Bloody Mary Basket,

Dan Sylvester - Veterans Assn. Denim Shirts, Curt Schmidt - RR Caboose Birdfeeder, and

Bill Regner - UP Beer glasses and 51pc. socket set.

 

Next year our Annual Luncheon will again be held at Alioto's Restaurant, Wauwatosa,

Wisconsin on Saturday, October 15, 2016.  Hope to see you there.
