May, 2016 Rally Highlights

Once again, Wes and Janet Barager pulled us together for a great first rally of the season. We returned to

Allegany State Park

Elkdale Campground. We had 10 member coaches attend.
In spite of a couple glitches, including a "pollen storm" (some thought it was snow), everything came off well.
Thursday, early arrivals went to the Coach Inn for dinner to check it out for Saturday. The owner, Don, does everything from food purchase, planning to cooking. The food was excellent as well as unique. Our hosts decided we should come back on Saturday.
There are many things to see and do in the area - including Allegany State Park (New York's largest), a casino, railroad museum and many Amish food and craft stores. Free time gave us a chance to see these.

Friday dinner was at our traditional venue at the Elkdale Country Club. This was followed by ice cream put on by our hosts.
Saturday, Wes and Janet prepared breakfast which was followed by a meeting. Linden's and Worden's joined us  on their way to the casino..

Weather was typical for the time of the year but many visited the sights. Afterwards many of us then returned to the Coach Inn for another great dinner.

My comment: This is a great place, food above average at a reasonable price, but I wonder if it will be there the next time. We were the only customers --- on a SATURDAY night.

Many returned to the campground for an 'ice cream social".
Sunday we were greeted by some kind of "white stuff". We then finished the weekend with a nice continental donuts and rolls fare.

Thank you, Wes and Janet

Note from Tom Ziobrowski

We received this note from Tom Ziobrowski, Northeast Area President the other day. It references your help at the FMCA booth during at the 94th International in West Springfield. 

------------------------------

Good Morning,

Thank you and the Chapter so much. I cannot convey my whole heart feeling enough to everyone.

This will show National that the Northeast is strong and sticks together as an Area when the task at hand is bought forth.

With all that had been going on, this is just outstanding.

Remember if those that can, just show up at the ice cream social and see if your assistance just in getting the ice cream served.

Respectfully,

Tom Z

94th FMCA International help

We have the following note from Tom Ziobrowski, Northeast Area President. 
Please remember, Fingerlakers have been asked to help with the FMCA booth.

• Our role is to support FMCA National. We should not need to handle money. We will be answering questions.
• There will be a meeting about 5:00 pm on either Tuesday or Wednesday to lay out assignments.
• We will be supporting the booth from 9 am to 5 pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday,(August 3-5).
• We will need 4 folks each shift.
• In an ideal world, 2 hour shifts would be physically easiest for a volunteer. So, we would need 16 volunteers each day. Then, we will need to fill 48 shifts. If everyone could do 2 x 2 hour shifts, we need 24 helpers.
• Currently, we have commitments (verbal or email) from 10 families about 20 folks:

Others have indicated they may help, too.

Please let me know if you sign up and want to help.

-------------------Tom's note below--------------------------------

Now the Perry Georgia Convention is over and Easter is over, hope you will all consider in doing some type of volunteering in Springfield Mass come August.

I cannot express my feeling for everyone that can to please show the strength the Northeast Area has as a TEAM of Chapters.

Send your information to Bob Mills, one of your Northeast VP's who is in charge of the volunteers at Springfield.
You will find the information in the April edition of the FMCA magazine. It's best to call your registration in ASAP.

Bob's email: Fourwindsbob@gmail.com
Cell: 813-395-3679

Please email or call him ASAP, he will need your name, a cell number if you have one, and address, as I want to personally acknowledge everyone with a token of appreciation that comes and supports this convention. It may be years before the Northeast Area ever see's another one. Come, volunteer a little, and have fun with all your camping friends.

Respectfully,

Thomas M. Ziobrowski
President & National VP for the Northeast Area of FMCA
