"Wherever We Go, We Have Fun!"
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
MAY, 2009A number of our members have returned or are on their way back to New England. Everyone, of course, is anxiously awaiting the treat of joining the rest of us fighting off the dreaded black flies, mosquitoes, and occasional ticks. Stories we have heard, so far indicate that even though the Florida weather started off being very cool, everyone enjoyed their stay in the sun but are happy to be headed back to New England.
This has been a hard winter, with the loss of members of our Motor Coach family and the illnesses/sickness of some of our members. We need to keep each them in our thoughts and prayers as we embark on another fun filled camping season. Bea & I want to thank Bev Wasson for the great job she has done, even in her time of loss.
We start our camping season with our “2009 Spring Rally and Business Meeting” at the Sandwich Fairgrounds in Center Sandwich, NH. This should be a great time to renew old acquaintances and trade new, or old, war stories. We are hoping to see a big turnout for what has always been a good rally to kick off the season.
Don’t forget our June 12 – 14 rally at Shir-Roy Campground in Richmond, NH hosted by Bev Wasson & Sandy Baker and Ed Wladkowski & Eris Tirrell or our July 10 – 12 Family Weekend at Fryeburg Fairgrounds in Fryeburg, ME hosted by Glenn & Bobbie McCracken and Bill & Peggie McShea.
Thank you to all the hosts that have volunteered to make this another great rally season. If anyone is interested in hosting/co-hosting a Chapter Rally, contact Linda at porazzo@comcast.net or 617.851.3798 or myself. If you know of a place that can accommodate our group for a Chapter Rally, with or without hook-ups (dry camping), let Linda or myself know. It is time to start planning our 2010 camping season.
The Granite Staters will be helping with Security and Day Gate for the NEAR Rally in Essex Junction, VT, August, 12-15, 2009. There is always need to have more volunteers from our membership help in this effort. If you have not signed up and are interested in participating as a Volunteer, contact Bill Elkins at wdelkins@myfairpoint.net or 603.435.6064.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you in Center Sandwich, NH for our May 2009 Rally.
