Presidents Message

It's over – Spring is finally here! It’s great to finally start getting ready for another season. It has been fun over the winter to hear from others who just never called it quits for the winter and continued to camp in the snow. Now with spring and another season before us, we all have to cope with the big crunch – fuel prices!

We have, what we hope, is a good variety of rallies ahead of us. For all of you who will be attending the Second Beach rally, please bring a gallon of water. We will be making coffee in the mornings and getting water for the coffee makers is pretty difficult – the water faucet is under the building so it involves a lot of crawling around. So if everyone would just bring a gallon jug of water, this will help us out. Please check the mailing dates on the rally forms as some people are mailing them back before the postmark date.

The Winter Island rally in Salem, MA will be limited due to space. Salem is a great area to explore – shopping, restaurants, museums and plenty of witches. The harbor will be just feet away. It should be fun.

The Scusset rally is always a vacation. What a wonderful place to spend the 4th of July. We have been welcomed back by the management of the park. I think they enjoyed a group who ate so well!

And, it is official – All of the arrangements have been finalized for our rally at the Plum Island Airport in Newburyport (July 31st – August 3rd). We will be able to stay Thursday thru Sunday. This will be during Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming event. We will have a “no frills” rally as there is so much to do in the area. The town sponsors events and concerts each day so there should be something for everybody.

We are always looking for people to help at the rallies, especially Scusset, so if you want to join in, just let us know. See you all soon,
