Northeast Araa Organizational Meeting

The Northeast Area is planning an organizational meeting for the 2014 NEAR. If you are interested in helping, let me or Tom Ziobrowski know. Sharon and I are thinking of attending the meeting. 
Foliage in early October should be great.
--

Hi all, to those new people with interest & those have volunteered at the Northeast Area in past years, that have already spoken to me with interest tohelp or my want to next,
How is the weekend of October 4th which is a Friday to Sunday October 6th in Lake George (Warrensburg) for an organizational meeting a possibility?  If all would be interested. I have negotiated a rate from around $40.00/night to $25.00/ night which is the camping fee, which would will be covered by the NEA for board members. You can drive by car just for Saturday if you wish, and get paid mileage if you do that, (board members) . We just cannot afford to pay both ends with the financial status we are in, sorry everybody. But also it is Warrensburg World’ Largest Garage Sale Weekend which is a Kewl event. Just a thought to think over. It can be business first then pleasure after things get put in order.
I plan on using some that worked last year on committees and offered to do it again next year.
A craft program was suggested already with a couple interested in running that. A model railroad display as their are 2 people one out of state that has a contact, and one here in are local chapter who could be asked to do something along this line, if interested.
The golf obstacle course was also suggested again.
We can use use the Lions club whom we have a wonderful relationship with now for publicity, and assistance.
I will forward this along to others that have already voiced an interest to help next year. Those will have to pay their own way, I am very sorry as we are in a situation that we cannot cover something for everyone,  but Saturdays breakfast will be covered for all. This gives everyone time to make plans and think it over, and if possible join in.
This would be held @ The Lake George Escape Resort Exit 23 of the Adirondack Nothway, about 1mile from the exit. The corporate headquarters in Florida, along with the Escape and Alpine Lake Resort, ELS & Thousand Trails were a big supporter of our Rally last year. This is for full hook-ups also, and we can use the lodge hall upstairs for are meeting, A couple of hours just for the board, then maybe right after lunch, all others if they come for general table discussion and committee set ups.
We could do a Saturday morning only breakfast as I have a commercial grill that we can set up, and just do eggs, sausage, pancakes,, juice, keep it easy & simple, cheap,  ?????
The following week I have to be in Cinn. And I know they will be looking for a report.
Everyone please send me your thoughts on this, I have checked 2 other places, cost is more, poor meeting room, location is not central.
Send to:  Tom Ziobrowski, NEAFMC
