May, 2011 Rally Highlights

For the 3rd consecutive year, our first rally of the summer was held at the Lakeville (NY) Volunteer Fire Department Training Grounds.  We had a great building with all the amenities and a field with enough electric to keep all our batteries charged.  With 18 coaches attending, we managed to enjoy 3 of the 4 seasons in a 5 day span.  Because of the recent monsoons, many folks parked on the pavement in the parking lot.   

Early entertainment consisted of getting the Glossner's out of the mud with the help of a 1943 Farmall.  In spite of the weather we had good food and things to do thanks to our hosts the Klines, Lindens, Wordens, Strubles and Roules. 

Eleven motor homes arrived on Thursday with the rest arriving on Friday.  Our official first activity was traveling to several restaurants including the classic Big Tree Inn in Geneseo – led by Donna and Gene Struble. 

Saturday morning started with a continental breakfast, along with Millie Worden's oatmeal.  It was followed by "Show-n-tell" and, then a Poker Walk.  A potluck dinner followed provided by all the participants.  Honored guests included Ed and Leslie Sharpe (President of the Firemen’s Exempt and Hall Manager).  Evening entertainment was a guess the location of pictures of places we visited followed by “pass the ace” won by Bob Webster.  During the day on Saturday, we had visits from Jim & Sherry Moore and Jack & Charlie Hassett in their new car.  Les and Betty Sliker joined us for Pass the Ace Saturday night.

Sunday morning breakfast consisted of pancakes, sausage and rolls, etc..  This was followed by a tour of the firemen’s training facilities – thanks to the Sharpes.  This worked up an appetite for an ice cream social.  Our evening dinner consisted of spaghetti and Charlie Kline’s famous meat sauce, salad, and Italian bread. This was followed by a Chinese auction hosted by Sharon Roule and Bob Webster and then more “pass the ace”.

Monday morning ended our Memorial Day weekend with a continental breakfast.

During the rally, it was noted THIS IS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY  of our chapter.  Among members present were 3 charter members – Ed and Sylvia Plaisted, Lee and Vivian Robbins (also founders)  and George and Millie Worden.
