February Florida Get Together

Getting together is why we exist!
Our winter get together on February 16th in Florida included Fingerlakers, Pen-NY Mixers, past members and guests. 42 follks showed up at the Golden Corral in Leesburg for the third year in a row.
Highlight of the day was Janet Gunkler displaying a "giant ice cube" on her left ring finger - compliments of Wes Barager. CONGRADULATIONS!
Folks began arriving about noon for the 1:00 pm start time. The Moses traveled 175 miles each way while the Shafers were between campsites and parked in a local Walmart.
We ate, told stories and with the room provided by Golden Corral were able to stay until almost 4:00 pm.

THANKS FOR COMING!!

"THE RALLY" (Good Sam), Syracuse, NY

A number of folks have expressed interest in the GOOD SAM Rally in Syracuse. There are preliminary plans for a caravan into the rally. 
Ed PLaisted reports that if you belong to 3 Good Sam activities (Good Sam Club, Roadside assistance, credit card, etc.), rally fee is free!
Without NEAR and FMCA International in Gillette, WY, this might be a fun alternative.
However, he recommends - CALL. They love to talk.
Their web site is

Bill Conway

Many of you may remember Bill Conway. Bill was Northeast Area Vice President 6-8 years ago. Bill has lived in FL the past few years.

Paul DuBois reports -

I just received a phone call from Eleanor Rizzi our Northeast Area Treasurer advising me that Pat Conway called her and said that Bill Conway passed away about an hour ago. We will advise on arrangements as soon as they are made.
