Installation/Thanksgiving Rally Oct. 18-20 Amboy
September 21st, 2019
We had a great show up with 18 trailering couples plus 7 more members who drove in Saturday for the business meeting and the great Turkey feast, featuring two roasted and one deep fried turkey. The club members brought along many interesting dishes to pass. Weather was good. The Unit grill was used for Friday dinner and the large indoors commercial kitchen for the rest of the meals. The Unit projector was used for the business meeting and to watch some of Wally’s old adventures, as well as an Airstream plant tour out of the 50’s. Thanks to all those that participated.

We had twelve couples attend the rally. Eight were newcomers, who have been with Northern for 2 years or less, and four couples were old timers.. We had good weather for Friday and Saturday, but got some rain Sunday morning. Some of the members stayed on till Tuesday, as they enjoy the park and are retired. They do not have to go back to work on Monday. Lucky them. We “Happy Houred”a top of Schwarz’s Skydeck and used the club grill to make three of our meals.
