We closed our 2001 camping season at Salisbury Beach State Park, along with the Massachusetts Minutemen and Yankee Travelers chapters. Our 140 coaches nearly filled the campground! The weather was a little foggy and chilly much of the weekend, but who can complain... it was mid-October. Remember those tabs we have been saving? Thanks to you, Bob Parsons collected well over 2 million aluminum tabs, which he presented to the Shriners to raise money for their Children’s Hospital. I heard a rumor that the Parsons now have enough room to park their car in the garage!
Wagonmaster Bill Hatley has our schedule pretty well set for next year. For the "snow- birds" there are two late-winter FMCA rallies. Our first chapter rally will be in May. The Northeast Area rally will again be at Essex Junction, VT in August, and our chapter has again volunteered to help with security. Fred Roberts and Bob Smith will jointly be in charge of our efforts. Helen Caserta and Bill Gowen tell us they expect to need a few less people than last summer. We’ll keep you posted when we learn more.

Our 6-year old chapter continues to grow. We are among the largest FMCA chapters in the Northeast! Carol and I recently received an e-mail from a relatively new member who was with us at Salisbury. She basically said "I wish I had known more..." about what there was to do at Salisbury Beach and vicinity. Those of us who have been to the rallies there the past 3 or 4 years know our way around pretty well, but we mustn’t forget there many Granite Staters who have never been to a given site before. When we advertise a rally in the newsletter, the rally host(s) generally give some info about what’s happening, but can only fit so much info on a page. Unfortunately, it’s easy to think "It’s the same as last time...", but that doesn’t help those who weren’t there before. If you want to know more about an upcoming event, feel free to call the host in advance and ask questions. We want you to have fun!
This will be the last newsletter ‘til probably mid-winter, or such time as we have enough new news to justify a new newsletter. Have a great winter!

Another great time at Salisbury Beach. Even with overcast skies on Saturday and Sunday we still had a super Weekend! This year the MinuteMen joined the Yankees and the Granite Staters; with 140 registered coaches, it was the largest crowd yet. The campground actually ran out of electric sites; a few coaches had to use their generators. Special Thanks to Roger and Evelyn Merrill who handled the coffee. On Saturday morning, even with 500 cups ready by 8:00 they had to perk two more 100 cup pots. WOW! We do like our coffee. Thanks also to John and Ruth Jacquinet who kept us in the donuts. John used his grill to toast the bagels and English muffins. (And to provide heat for those nearby) Thanks also to the clean up team of Hal and Bev Burnham.To those of you who brought all that wood, mission accomplished. It was the source of much warmth and conversation.
Another success, see you next year.

Our tabs were presented at a joint rally at Salisbury State Park in Salisbury MA to Florence Britain< PHP for the Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield MA. Florence is a representative of the Helma Court #64, Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America, Springfield MA. They have collected 282,620 pounds of aluminum tabs. Our contribution this year to the tab-collecting program was 1408 pounds. This figures out to be 2,252,800 aluminum tabs. We now have contributed over 3,600,000 to date. I want to thank EVERYONE who collected the tabs. This is a wonderful program and I hope the Granite Staters will keep up the good work in the future.
Returning from a trip to visit my relatives in Newfoundland, I was stopped by a New Hampshire state trooper for exceeding the speed limit. Grateful to have received a warning instead of a ticket, I gave him a small bag of my grandmother's delicious chocolate chip cookies and proceeded on my way.
Later, another state trooper stopped me. "What have I done?" I asked.
"Nothing," the trooper said, smiling. "I heard you were passing out delicious chocolate chip cookies".

The November Newsletter also contains a list of members' email addresses. For privacy reasons, they are not included here. Please keep your copy of the newsletter for these addresses.
WE now have one new officer, and several reelected incumbents. Let's welcome Caroline Hatley, who was elected chapter secretary. Unfortunately, Caroline and her husband Bill, our new Wagonmaster, were only able to attend the rally briefly on Friday. They recently changed jobs, and guess when their new employee training was?
It's hard to believe I'm starting my third term as your chapter President. Thank you for your support. Though it isn't always easy, keep smiling!
We received a tremendous amount of tabs in the last two rallies and all I can do is estimate the total amount that we have collected. That estimated number is 2,200,000 tabs for an estimated weight of 1375 pounds. If you have never seen that many soda tabs in one place, come to the Salisbury Rally and see for yourself. Again, I want to thank all of you that have contributed to this project. This is a continuing progtam so please keep up the great work for a great cause. I am asking all the new members to pitch in and help us in this worthwhile endeavor.
See you in the next newsletter.
National Director's Report
On August 12, 2001, I attended the Northeast Area Caucus. At that time, Gary Adams discussed the long-range planning for FMCA to bring it into the 21st century. Some members felt it leaned toward the level of rich people, not your average people. If we want to attract younger families we have to market something other than high-line coaches.
Helen Casserta reported on the By-Law update. What is now 45 pages will end up being 15 pages. Items taken from the By-Laws will end up in the Policy and Procedures manual and Volunteer Handbook. The Policy and Procedures Handbook will end up on the FMCA website; however, what it says today may change tomorrow as it is an ever-changing document.
Evelyn Merrill
National Director Evelyn also included reports on the Presidents' Forum and Governing Board Meeting. Highlights follow.
From the Presidents' Forum Report
From the 8-13-2002 Governing Board Meeting
Bill Hatley, Wagonmaster.Recently retired from the Navy, Bill wants to be more active with FMCA and our chapter. I have appointed him Wagonmaster effective immediately. It’s not too early to think about next year. Please contact Bill with any ideas or offers to help host a rally next year. I thank VP Steve Ford for also handling those duties for the last several months.
See you again next time! Registration information for our three remaining rallies is in this newsletter. See you soon,
See you in Vermont!
Our latest count for the tabs that we have been collecting for the last year has now reached approximately 1,500,000. I want to thank all of the
members and their friends and relatives for making it possible for the chapter to collect this many tabs. Keep it up! We will make plans shortly after the Rally in Essex Junction for bringing the tabs to the Shriners Childrens Hospital in Springfield, MA. I will keep you posted.
If your newsletter has a RED DOT on the label, it means that your dues are in arrears for the period ending 5-31-02. Please attend to this matter before 07-15-01.
I would like to say “Thank You” to the members of the Granite Staters for all the cards, e-mails, telephone calls and the thoughtfulness that you sent my way while I was under the weather. I am feeling pretty good at this point and I hope to make it to Essex Junction, but I have to keep my fingers crossed. (Doctor’s orders u-know)
Until next time, I leave you with the mortal words of Betsy Ross who once said to George Washington “OK so you don’t like little happy faces. How do you feel about stars?”
Bob
We can go in Thursday the 28th. of June. Edie and I will be leaving Weare at 9am Thursday morning. If anyone wants to join us, we will be going on Route 89N. There is no charge for going in on Thursday or Friday. We will meet at Ames (in Essex Junction) which is on Susie Wilson Road. When you receive your packet from National, it will have the directions to Susie Wilson Road. Ames is located on the left side of the road just after you turn onto Susie Wilson Road. We will leave Ames at 1pm and go in together. All volunteers will be parked together.
While travelling to Essex Junction, we will have our cell phone on. (603) 848-7380

A rookie was struggling at the mound, so the catcher walked up to have a talk with him. "I've figured out your problem," he told the young southpaw. "You always lose control at the same point in every game."

Essex Jct Rally Update: We can now go in Thursday the 28th. of June. See the Rallies page for full details.
HIGHLAND ORCHARDS RALLY CANCELLED
The August Rally with the Jersey Gems in Connecticut has been cancelled due to lack of interest among the Granite Staters. We didn't seem to have much support up here and the thought was higher cost of fuel and longer travel distance might have had something to do with it. Tentatively we have a replacement rally at Branch Brook RV Park, Campton, NH for August 17, 18, 19th. We're waiting for a response from the campground.
***
Please wear Name Badges at our rallies. I’d like to be able to boast that I know the names and faces of all 200+ families in the Granite Staters, but I’m not that good. The badges help. You can order the "official" Granite Staters name badges if you like (look for the order form in this newsletter). There are some clubs that won’t let anyone in without the proper badge. The Granite Staters are not that petty, but in years past "Sheriff" Jake Perrault or his deputies the Peahl Brothers have "arrested" people who had no nametag at all. (Fine: 25 cents)
***
On the legislative Front: By now most of you are familiar with RSA 216-I, laws governing campgrounds in New Hampshire. One of the changes made last year broadened the definition of "campground" to an absurd degree. Even two tents in your back yard make it a "campground." Fortunately, when this was pointed out, most legislators said "oops..." and there are now two bills to remedy the situation. The Senate bill, SB-33 has already passed the senate. SB-33 basically says campground regulations shall apply to campgrounds. The House of Representatives bill, HB-476, is in the
Resources, Recreation & Development committee. HB-476 is similar to its Senate counterpart, but it has a reference to "commercial zoning" in its definition of a campground, which looks to me like a huge gray area. If I drive my coach to the grocery store (presumably
commercially zoned) and buy groceries (payment of a fee), does that make Shop’n’Save a campground? Maybe. Maybe not. I like the Senate version. It’s clearer.
***
As the snowbanks gradually recede from alongside the driveway, I’m looking forward to getting back on the road with the old "Scenicruiser". See you soon!
HAPPY MOTORHOMING FOR 2001 NEW MEMBERS
It is a pleasure again for me to start out our Newsletter with a welcome to the new members who have come into our chapter and we hope that they will be active members and enjoy being a part of the Granite Staters.
We are going to start the year off with over 950,000 tabs in the kitty {my garage} and we hope that the members have been saving them over the winter. Please bring all your soda can tabs to the May rally and we will make it over the 1,000,000 mark. I hope we can then have them picked up at the June rally. I know the children of the Shriners Hospital in Springfield will greatly appreciate the effort that the members of the club have made in their behalf.
The time is here again., so please try to get your dues paid before 31 May. It will sure make the work easier and it helps eliminate mistakes. If you have any question about your dues, please e-mail me, parsons@srnet.com, and we will try to help you.
Are you interested on talking over the e-mail to other members of the chapter? Well there is a list in (the printed)newsletter of members in the chapter that said they would like to be on a list of this type. If you want to be on this listplease send me an e-mail stating that you want your name placed on the list. As always, my e-mail is parsons@srnet.com.
(Webmaster note: this is a separate list for your own use and not the list in our Granite Staters discussion group. See the notice elsewhere in this newsletter about the discussion group.)

GRANITE STATERS September 2001
Carol Bovee, Editor
Dave Bovee, President
Our little motorhome club's activities may seem pretty insignificant compared to the tragic attacks of September 11, but in a way FMCA and the Granite Staters are a testimonial to what a great country we have. In another country, we might not be free to travel the highways. Indeed, there might not be any highways! Or we might be so poor that day-to-day survival leaves no time for recreational activities. Our leaders have the difficult duty of bringing those responsible to justice, while at the same time not overreacting and making our situatiuon even worse. I am confident that we will emerge from this tragedy a stronger nation.
Recent Granite Staters' Events
Rally at Branch Brook Campground, Campton, NH, hosted by the McSheas, Reads, and Sandstroms. It was a beautiful August weekend at a nice campground. We did have one misfortune, though. Dot Bickford spent much of that weelend in the local hospital. We are grateful that the doctors found nothing seriously wrong, and sent her home Sunday morning.
Our traditional Sandwich Fairgrounds Rally drew a recordd 70 coaches! Bigger isn't necessarily better, but this has always been a popular event, as shown by the ever-increasing attendance. A great job was done by our hosts, the Munroes, Fords, and Greniers.
Outgoing secretary Ginny Read graciously agreed to extend her term for the duration of our business meeting. Thank you, Ginny, for diligently serving the chapter for the apst few years.
At the business meeting, we voted to make a $1000.00 donation to the Shriners' Children's Hospital. In addition, we plan to present the Shriners with over two millioncan tabs at our Salisbury Beach rally in October.
Also in Salisbury, I'd like to decide as a chapter what we will do for volunteer work at the Northeast Area Rally next summer. It is traditional for eacch chapter to pitch in. We have done Security the last two years ... do we want to make it three?

Term limits were discussed for the National Officers. Most representatives were against it. This information will be sent on to the By-Law committee.
Travel allowance for the National Directors were discussed. The overwhelming feeling was that we volunteered for the Nationial Directors job and did not expect to get paid.
There was a 75% representation from the Northeast Area.

The FMCA Northeast Area Rally at Essex Junction, VT didn’t set any attendance records this year, but the Granite Staters were well represented, and our traditional afternoon social hour was well attended each day. Having the rally over the July Fourth holiday seemed to cut down on attendance by both FMCA families and vendors. Next year’s NE Area Rally will be at the same place, but in August.
A large rally requires many, many volunteers, and our security volunteers did a great job, mostly at the fairgrounds’ entrance gates. A big "thank you" to Stet Hunt for leading that effort, and to all who pitched in and helped.
Our Lawn Chair Brigade performed for the first time in quite awhile. Bruce Brown marched nearly forty of us, including yours truly, in to entertain at the Monday morning coffee hour. It was a great chance for us grownups and a few kids, to have fun being silly as we performed our drills. An organization like FMCA should be fun, and the Lawn Chair Brigade is a perfect vehicle ... for spectators and participants alike!

The Hopkinton Fairgrounds was the site for our June rally. I was especially pleased to have several new members join us for their first rally. It was a low-key affair, with plenty of free time for relaxing or visiting. Fred Roberts did a great job planning and running our rally, with plenty of assistance from his wife Blanche, Bob & Marilyn Smith, and Bob & Jan Smith. The “chili dump” supper was well received by most (although I cooked hot dogs for two kids...)
Being a parent can make for a hectic schedule at times such as that weekend. 5-year old Sam had his Preschool “graduation” on Friday evening, so we didn’t get to the rally until late Friday. After the largely uneventful business meeting Saturday night, we headed home because Amy (12) and Mara (9) both had major roles in our church’s “Children’s Sunday” program the next morning.
Hopkinton is a great spot, easily accommodating the 30-something Granite Staters coaches, and many more RV’s belonging to the Square Dancing group which shared the grounds with us that weekend.
The Northeast Area Rally in Essex Junction, VT is fast approaching. The Granite Staters’ Lawn Chair Brigade will march... join us. It’s fun! Bruce Brown has more info inside this newsletter.
Stet Hunt has our chapter’s security volunteers pretty well organized, although at last report he had one or two slots still open, and wouldn’t mind having a couple reserves.
The youth activities will be somewhat less extensive than at some large FMCA rallies, because no chapter volunteered for the job. Fortunately, a few individuals have stepped forward to offer several events for the kids.

"NETIQUETTE" and avoiding "the web’s" downside:
E-mail and the internet are very powerful tools. If used properly, one can acquire and disseminate a lot of information very quickly. They can also bury us with useless or unwanted messages.
I am amazed what our Webmaster, Bob Burnham, has put together for us- the Granite Staters website and "discussion group" (GDG). I share Bob’s frustration that several members have asked to be taken off the GDG because they receive too many unwanted messages. A major culprit is members replying to messages on the GDG. DO NOT REPLY to the GDG unless you want dozens of us to get that message. Doing so is usually not appropriate. The sender can help avoid this situation by including their e-mail address in the text of their message. That way, the recipient can usually click on that address and type a reply directly to just the sender (depending on your e-mail software).
The Granite Staters willingness to volunteer are what makes this such a great club. Currently, we are looking for a number of people...jobs ranging from a one-time security detail to elected officers. See the “Help Wanted” section in this newsletter.
Both the NH House and Senate have passed SB33, which will return the law closer to what it was before last year’s changes. When signed by Governor Shaheen, RSA 216-1 will again only apply to campgrounds.

Another motorhoming season is about to begin. Our first chapter rally will be in mid-May, and the next in mid-June. In July we have the FMCA Northeast Area Rally in Essex Junction, VT. Stet
Hunt wants to recruit a number of us as security volunteers, a task we helped out with at the FMCA convention in Brunswick, ME last summer. In August, plans are well underway for a joint meet with the Jersey Gems chapter. Many of you will remember sharing
Brunswick security duties with them. Plans are still a bit fuzzy for September and October, but I’m sure we’ll have our traditional "Birthday Bash" at the Sandwich (NH) Fairgrounds, and one or two other others. Please contact our VP and acting Wagonmaster Steve Ford if you have ideas for this fall and especially for next year.
No further hearings scheduled as of this writing, but we will keep you posted.
