6590   Archambo  
4194  Eckert

Come out and see your friends during this event!  Plans for the 2009 Region Rally to be sponsored by New York State Units will be discussed at this meeting.

There is still time to sign up for the 2008 Region 2 Rally in Ottawa. There are 88 total registered attendees so far, so the rally has not reached the limit of 150 rigs.

Because of the dates of the  Ontario Canada Unit Rally  (May 16-19), and the Region Rally which follows,  our planned rally for the weekend of May 17 will just be a luncheon meeting according to Don Saunders and John Hussar.  This will allow those who would like to head to Ottawa early to do so.

If you are planning to attend the Region 2 rally, don’t hesitate to send in your registration as the number of sites is limited.

As you know, each Unit in Region 2 has a responsibility to help with the running of the Rally. Don McKelvay has been organizing the tasks for each Unit and suggested that our Unit handle two items: the sale of Rally Plaques, and the set up for Breakfast on Saturday.

The Plaque sales will require a few people for 3 hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The breakfast will require two people for setup on Friday night and four or more on Saturday morning for two hours starting at 7 AM.

I am going to assume that our Unit will be able to handle the work for now. I will have to verify attendance and assignments as the rally nears. Let the President know if you will attend if possible.

The President also has Region 2 data for 2008. These are EXCEL spreadsheets listing:

Unit Presidents
Unit Editors
Unit Officers
Unit Activities for 2008

I can e-mail these to any member who would like them.

Season’s Greetings

Although it was the “Autumn Leaf Rally”, we had daytime temperatures in the 80’s.

Nighttime entertainment was unusual.

A tour through Cook Forest was filled with vivid colors.
