“Drive Line”
With 52 members and guests in attendance, the meeting for March, 2026 was held at the Southaven Library. We pigged out on Fried Chicken, Beans and Tater Salad with Oreo cupcakes for desserts. Johnnie welcomed everyone and thanked those who supplied the vittles!
He then read off all those having birthdays in March.
Larry then assured us that we are solvent. Members who have not paid their dues by this month (march) are considered delinquent. If you have not paid your dues, make every effort to get them paid before the April meeting.
Johnnie reported that our meeting with the Desoto County Tourist Commission went well. The Commission will meet among soon and determine how much it will contribute toward the event. They also stated that they would provide information about things to do and places to visit in Desoto Co. to include with our show packets for this year’s show.
The March 7th. get together at Georges Farm in Holly Springs is still on. (Rain or Shine). All club members and wives are invited. (Due to the number expected, No guests may be invited) We have contacted all the other local clubs, as per Kathy’s wishes, and invited them also. Mike Lyon will be cooking and has asked that if several of us could come down Friday (6th) to help him cook and prepare the area he would appreciate it. He recommended that everyone bring their own chairs to make sure you have a place to sit. Tents are also recommended due to the threat of rain. Sadly, This will be the last event of this type at the Poteet farm. If the weather remains DRY he expects upwards of 500 people to attend, but if weather is WET it may be much less! Those who plan to go down Friday to help cook and set up need to be there around 9.oclock and the same for those helping Saturday morning. The food will be served at 12.00 sharp.
The address for all those who have a GPS, Siri, Alexa or an old fashion map is 314 Cotton Lane, Holly Springs, Ms. If you are coming down on Hwy.22 from Memphis get off at the second Holly Springs exit. (It’s the one with all the fast food business’s that can be seen from the highway) Take a left and go to the 1st. traffic light. At the light, take a left! (Wendy’s on the corner) Follow this road to the first road to the right. There will be arrows pointing the way from that point on. Just keep following the arrows and you will arrive! (unless someone moves the arrows :) If you get lost or are not sure where you are, go to the Wendy’s and call Johnnie or me and we will come lead you in! Good luck!
Nominations for the Executive Board are held in March every other year. A motion was made and seconded to retain the current Board for another two year term. All those currently serving agreed to another term. Passed unanimously.
Money winners for March were:
Becca Campbell winning $75.00
Richard Starkey winning $70.00
Tim Williams winning $70.00
I contributed $5.00 to the cause as usual!
Those in need of prayer
Let’s remember Leigh-Ann Lyon and Mike as they begin the journey with her cancer treatment. Pray that the treatments are successful and she can make a full recovery. There were several others mentioned whose names I failed to hear that were having different health related issues. If you know who they are please remember them as well.

HUMOR
A wife got so mad at her husband one day she packed his bags and told him to get out! As he walked away she shouted “ I hope you die a long, slow, painful death” He turned around and said” OH, so you want me to stay!”
A woman was walking her dog one day and passed by a house with a little old man sitting on the front porch rocking in his rocking chair! He always seemed so happy and content. One day she got up her nerve and approached him. She said “Sir I can’t help but notice that you are always smiling and in a good mood. Please tell me, what is your secret for such a long and happy life?” He said “ That’s easy, I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, drink beer all day and eat nothing but junk food! And I NEVER exercise!” She replied “That’s amazing and how old are you”
He said “I’m 26”.
