September Rally Highlights

The Penny Mixer September rally was a visit to the western part of the Penny Mixer territory at Elkdale Campground near Salamanca, NY.  With fall foliage at full bloom, good weather, creative wagon masters (Sandy & Harold Wollaber), a great weekend was enjoyed by 14 families.  Help for Sandy and Harold was supplied by Donna & Gene Struble and Sharon & Tom Roule.

Eldale is close to major resort areas Holiday Valley, Allegany National Park, casinos and a WW II museum. 

A golf course is within walking distance and a couple folks played.

Our Saturday Meeting was highlighted by the election of officers.  They are:
President:  Barb Kotar
Vice President:  Barb Cole
Treasurer:  Shirley Moore
Secretary:  Sylvia Plaisted
National Director:  Walt Linden
Alternate National Director:  Sharon Roule

With by law changes enacted, officers terms will now be TWO years.  Induction will be at the October dinner.

One culinary event from the weekend was "Egg McWollaber's" on Sunday morning.  The creation of Sandy Wollaber closely resembled Egg McMuffin's - only better.  

Other events - Rose McGlynn cheated and beat Tom Roule in "Pass The Ace" on Saturday night.

With plenty to do, folks left satisfied.

2012 Winter Convention Update from FMCA

The FMCA Board of Directors have issued the following:

----------------------

TO: Members of the Governing Board, Commercial Council
The Family Motor Coaching Board of Directors met via telephone conference on Thursday, August 26, and took under consideration continuing plans for the winter convention scheduled for Fairplex, in Pomona, California, in April 2012. Discussion included the lack of attendance at our three previous International Conventions; the uncertainty of the RV industry; the current economic climate; and the availability of the venue in a time frame conducive to member attendance. They also took into consideration the actions of the Governing Board in Bowling Green and Saint Paul requesting the Executive Board look into producing one convention per year during this economic downturn. It was determined that the 2012 Winter International Convention in Pomona, California, be suspended. The Board determined that resources should be focused on making the summer 2012 convention a grand event.
