Big Hat Club
A little bit of history... The Big Hat Club is an honor group within the AMBUCS association. It was started by Past National President Charles E. Mitchell during his term at the June 18, 1939, executive board meeting. The idea was to present a shirt to each AMBUC able to recruit at least three new members in a 12-month period. The concept was to create incentive to bringing in new AMBUC members. The individual who brought in the most new members would receive the "Rabbit Trophy"! Fortunately, at the July 2 meeting it was decided to award a ten-gallon hat instead and recipients would form a Big Hat Club. These special, fun-loving members are the backbone of AMBUCS and provide leadership in recruiting new members and supporting the AMBUCS mission. A Message from National Big Hat President...What a wonderful convention and start to getting our new year rolling. Big Hatters have always been movers and shakers, so I’m calling for you all go out and help Rick reach his goal of 20 new chapters. On that note, you should know Rick and I have a friendly competition going to see if the Big Hatters or the general membership can start more new clubs… so let’s show Rick who can get it done! More Pictures Please! As you might have noticed, we have changed the “look” of the Big Hat page, so please send me pictures of your Big Hat functions and a short caption. The reason for Big Hat is to have fun, let your pictures show this. This Fall I am planning to attend all the Regional Conferences, so I look forward to seeing you all soon. Duane Nietling
