Southeast Area Rally - 2015



The MARLINAIRES
Linden's had a windshield replacement

This year, for the first time in many years, the Southeast Area moved the rally from Brooksville, FL - an hour south to Sarasota, FL.

One hint that a change in venue was a good idea – it sold out several weeks before the rally. Fuel at the lowest price in years may have helped, too.
Roule's had their rig dedailed. 

With about 850 family coaches and another 110 coaches for sale - arriving in a very busy area resulted in a few glitches. Harold Wollaber, the Lindens and the Roules represented western New York and the Fingerlakers. Bev Brown visited for one day, too. Also, we welcomed new members - Paul and Gail Tachok from Orchard Park who joined during the rally.

The committee from the Southeast Area put together an ambitious schedule with a box lunch Friday along with circus acts circulating through the area, and a full breakfast Saturday morning. Entertainment was geared to the generation in attendance, pop, older rock and roll and old country all 3 nights. Almost everyone stayed through each show.

All in all, we had a very good time.

It's not official the rally will return next year, but the tea leaves seem to be in place.
