August brought 12 Fingerlakers' coaches to the New York State Fairgrounds for the Northeast Area 
Rally. Along with 6 coaches from the Niagara Frontier Travelers, we staffed the FMCA Store Thursday through Saturday and helped area and national officers with the membership booth.
Unlike the National Rallies, we were also responsible for managing the computerized I-PAD based cash management system. Considering the short learning curve (less than 24 hours), folks did a excellent job learning on the fly. During the 3 days, we sold $3127 worth of merchandise. THANK YOU all!
On Wednesday night, a severe thunderstorm rolled through threatening the tent and canceling the entertainment.
Thursday night, we managed to get all 34 of us together and celebrate a little before the entertainment - which was cancelled again because of severe weather warnings.
The annual meeting was normal with the exception of one twist - Tom Ziobrowski (outgoing president) was elected a vice president. (Yes, it's perfectly legal).
There were some glitches supporting arrivals, but they managed to be resolved by area officers. Also, we found some problems with the store software and documentation. It was documented and sent to FMCA.
