October was a great Rally month!
Monday, November 2nd, 2009We have been very fortunate to have had two very successful rallies in October. October 9-11 we held our President’s Rally with the installation of our officers for the upcoming year. This rally was held at the same time as the “Bus Nuts”, a wonderful group who we enjoyed eating with and touring their “conversion” RVs. Their creativity and originality was inspiring. We saw a bus from 1948 and several from the 50’s, as well as many other years.
Our rally included 20 units, with 4 units visiting. Carol and Rick Bell were with us for the installation, as well as several new members.
The Carolina’s State Rally was held the following week, October 14-18. We had over 50 units attend, and although the weather did not cooperate very much, we all had a great time. The all ukelele band “Yesterukes” was a great hit, as well as our other entertainment. There was a ladies craft that was well - liked ( a beaded bookmark) and card bingo, hiking, flea market, live and silent auction and a big used book sale. The book sale raised over $50.00 for our community service project (this month the local Riverside EMS and Fire dept.) We had a break in the weather and were able to tour 5 vintage trailers, including one from the 1950’s. We had 7 different units represented, including St Louis and Pennsylvania. Pictures will be posted soon.
