Communial cooking most meals
Campfire two nights. Lots of fellowship sharing with long time members and new members.
We had nine trailers and 17 members with lots of new people in attendance.. A few of us retirees stayed over Sunday night. We had a bit of occasional rain, but we worked around it. The sound of rain on the Airstream roof was nice Friday night. The club grill made communal cooking easy.
Despite the snow and 32 degree temperatures, eighteen brave couples attended. Friday dinner was a BYO Entry on the Club Grill. The Friday evening Board Meeting, updated unit Bylaws. Saturday Membership meeting updated unit Constitution That afternoon, we had a “Tech Talk” session and happy hour. Saturday dinner was another BYO Entry with dish to pass. Saturday evening we watched Wally’s African Caravan via the internet and the club projector. Good thing we had the warm fairgrounds buildings.

Seventeen people attended our pizza party at Lou’s The winter weather is finally letting up, so we can start thinking about camping and touring. Quite a few new members attended, and introduced themselves. As usual, the pizzas and the conversations were good. Looking forward to our first rally in April at Amboy.
Eight couples attended the RV show at Rosemont Convention Center and the dinner at Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant. The show was good, but no one bought a new Airstream.
