PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
NOVEMBER, 2009Our October Rally, at Riverbrook in Rumney, NH, marked the end to yet another camping season here in New Hampshire. The rally hosted by Bill & Carol Elkins, Ed & Barbara Smith and Fred & Nancy Rhine was, as it has been in previous years, a huge success. Fred along with Glenn McCracken were headliners for our Saturday night entertainment, acting as auctioneers for the famed Brown Bag action. Food trays appear to be the hot ticket item, Bill M. could not wait to buy them back after Peggy M. so graciously donated them to the auction. Friday morning pancakes made by Ed Smith were also a big hit with the group.
I would like to extend a welcome to Bob & Adeline Russo, Brookfield, NH and Coke & Selma Levin, Campton, NH. Both couples attended the Riverbrook rally and have joined our Granite Staters family.
Many of our Granite Staters will be or may have already headed south for the winter and plans are in the works for a “Pre Rally” before the Southeast Area Rally in Brooksville, FL. Sounds like Bucky and Bob B. have worked out a real sweet deal for those attending the “Pre Rally”. The March “Granite Gator Rally” is also scheduled for Brooksville. Final details are still being worked on.
For those that chose or are forced to remain here in NH, Bob and Louise Parsons are again hosting a January Dinner, January 10, at the Red Apple Buffet, Concord, NH. Last years dinner was well attended and enjoyed by all.
The 9% tax we pay to the state each time we rent a camp site, “spot of earth” improved or not, continues to be a sore spot for campers and the camping industry here in New Hampshire. This has and will continue to affect rallies we hold in 2010 and beyond.
Barbara Smith has accepted the position as Membership Chairperson. Ed & Barbara Smith joined us after spending time with us at the NEAR Rally two years ago. I am sure Barbara will do a great job as our new Membership Chairperson. Barbara can be contacted at 978-772-4870 or bsmit59@hotmail.com.
We continue to look for an individual to step forward and take on responsibilities as Wagon Master. If anyone is interested and/or would like more information about what is involved please contact me.
We would like to extend our wishes, to each of our Family Motor Coach members, for a Safe, Healthy, Joyous and Happy Holiday Season.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you at our rallies in 2010.
