Director Kathy Brennan Rally Masters Leo & Evelyn Sweeney Web Master - Marty Robertson Sunshine Evelyn Sweeney Newsletter Editor - Debbie Golk Membership- Diane & Marty Robertson Volunteer Coordinator Buck Youngblood Club Historian Gloria Hendershott I expect this message to be quite short for a couple reasons. First I have a broken arm which is quite painful and limits how long I can type. Also I have just a few items to share with you. As each of you will recall last month we did not have a rally in August to comment about. The month of September we have our anniversary rally at River Run RV Park in Bakersfield. We have our election for next year s officers. It is good to see we have several offices being contested. Don't forget to ask several questions to satisfy yourself that the best person is elected. We also have other business that must be discussed. Now for the items that I like to talk about; FOOD. We have catered Breakfast and Dinner on Saturday. We have also catered Breakfast on Sunday. On Friday night we will have our usual Heavy hors d'oeuvres. As of this writing we have twelve rigs signed up. I have a feeling our number could go up to fifteen Rigs. Wouldn't that be great? Remember to keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the steering wheel. President s Message (Con t) Don Marshall President
