Spring
Rally
Check
your Calendars!!!
As
previously mentioned, we are
trying to find a time for
the 2011 Spring Rally that
does not conflict with member's
attendance at graduations,
weddings, Mother's Day, Memorial
Day, etc. We tried to move
it to June but conflicts have
already been noted.
Let's
look again at the May 2011
calendar: Mother's Day is
on May 8th and Memorial Day
is the weekend of May 27-30.
Does anyone have family conflicts
during the intervening three
weeks--between May 9th and
May 27th? Call your kids and
grandkids for dates of graduations
& weddings.
Please
check your calendars and send
us the dates of your conflicts.
We will try to arrange a rally
around them. We want to schedule
it so that everyone can attend
who wants to attend!!
Check
your calendar now and send
us your conflicts or comments!!
Thanks!!

Fall
Rally
Sept.
24-27, 2010 -- NRV Caddo Lake
Rally
So
far, there are 10 coaches
registered to attend our rally.
They are: Maher, Koch, Sorenson,
Sholty, Dunn, Fricke, Liscio,
Campbell, Easton, and Holmes.
If you would like to attend
and are not on this list,
go to the Texas State Parks
reservation website: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/business/park_reservations/.
You may also phone this number:
512/389-8900. They require
one night's payment to hold
the reservation, which may
be cancelled up to 3 days
prior to the date with just
a $5 service charge. Water/electric
sites are $12/night plus a
$2 per day per person use
(entrance) fee which includes
fishing from the bank without
a license. Texas residents
who were 65 on 9/1/95 get
a reduced fee of $1; or if
you have a Texas State Parks
Pass, all occupants of your
vehicle can enter free of
charge. The camping fee is
not reduced.
If you want to join us at
Caddo Lake, don't wait too
long to make reservations.
The eight sites we had reserved
were all sold at the Branson
rally to the earliest enrollees
and there will be a limited
number of remaining sites
large enough for your motor
home.
Sept.
27 - Oct. 3 -FMCA Six-State
Area Rally
"Back to the Rally on
the Red"
Hopefully,
everyone has already registered
for this rally and paid for
electric service and the two
early days so we can park
together. If not, register
now online at www.fmca.com
or call 800-543-3622 or 513-474-3622.
The registration forms are
also available in the June
issue of Motor Coaching magazine.
You can get a refund later
if unable to attend. They
had a cap of 150 units for
entrance on Monday so at least
9 of our members registered
early in response to the previous
email warning. **Be sure to
check your registration packet
when you receive it. A couple
members that we know of have
not received what they signed
up for. **
NOTE: If you do not come to
the pre-rally at Caddo Lake,
you can meet us at the Louisiana
Welcome Center on Monday Sept.
27 to caravan with the group.
We plan to leave there at
11:00 a.m. There is a dump
station at the Welcome Center
if anyone needs it.
The following are agendas
for the Caddo Lake Rally and
the first three days we will
be at the Six-State Rally.

some changes.
