October get together

As promised, we have an update about a possible get-together at Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY. October 13, 14 and 15th, they have agreed to let us come, eat, gamble, watch races and entertainment and spend the night. They will let us gather and circle.

Along with the Lindens, we had the buffet. It was excellent.
They have discounts for veterans, seniors (not available weekends) and player card members making it competitive with Golden Coral

Their security director has gained the necessary approval. They have an events coordinator who we will discuss details during the next few days. They offer group packages. So, there is more to follow.

Hurricane update

Everyone we have heard from indicate little damage to their homes in hurricane range.
Only the Del Grande's had unit surrounded by water and we haven't heard from the Begy's.
As they say, it ain't over yet, but we keep praying.

October Get together

Drove through Batavia Downs on the way home Sunday. They have RV Parking but it's behind Kohls and is small.
Del Largo has no RV Parking.
Checked Fingerlakes Race Track. There seems to be potential. They allow overnight RV Parking, have several restaurants. Walt and Beryl have volunteered to take a ride there Thursday. Looks like we have the option to go for lunch or dinner and spend the night if we like.
MORE INFORMATION AFTER THURSDAY.

45th Anniversary Highlights

Our 45th Anniversary celebration returned to Cambria Fireman's Field in Cambria, NY with the officers hosting. Harold Wollaber has spent 55 years helping turn this venue into a great place to have a rally (not to mention "tractor pulls") and more.

We had 22+/- campers show up for our PARTY. We had classic 70's music, one mini skirt, some dancing, good food and more. 

 

Every officer pitched in making delicacies for each meal.
Thank you, Barb, Ken, John, Joan, Wes, Janet, Nancy, Jim, Harold, and especially SHARON. You folks are fantastic.
Barbara Smith (NEA President) presented the chapter with a 45th anniversary certificate.
Barbara and Ed were here for the entire rally. And...Jim and Pat Sennett (NEA Treasurer) were there.
Niagara Frontier Travelers had 6 members helping us celebrate after they were so helpful during NEAR in Syracuse.
We hope you had as much fun as I did.
