September Rally
Report The weather sure cooperated and helped to make the last
“official” rally of the year a great one. We had 17 coaches and a lot of fun.
The food was great and the friendship even better. Elaine and I would like to thank all of those who helped
make the rally a success, especially Kay and Bill Leach who assisted in so
many ways. Thanks also to John Foy for his services as official parking
attendant. And what can we say about that Jeopardy game! Lots of fun
even if no one won any big cash prizes. We hope to see you at
the October dinner meeting. If not, have a safe and healthy winter and we
will see you in May 2008. Bart & Elaine

This is my first report as
President of the New York Centrals. You can't imagine the feelings I have to
be president of this organization. We had a very good time at the Brown Barn last
weekend, and I think it was mainly due to the people I was in contact with.
The friendliness and support I received from everyone was tremendous. I just
hope that I can live up to your expectations. We did accomplish a lot in a short
time over the weekend. Aside from the wonderful meal we enjoyed at the
Buffalo Head Restaurant Friday night, the potluck breakfast Saturday morning,
the catered meal Saturday night, and the catered breakfast Sunday morning,
(this group does enjoy their food), we did get some work done. I want to thank the new officers
Paul Hallagan, 1st Vice President, Rich Burrell, 2nd
Vice President, Charlotte Burrell, Secretary. and Sharon Shaw, treasurer. |
Coldren will remain Membership
chairperson. You will be happy to know that Bob Shaw has agreed to remain as
our Web master and News letter editor for the next year. Thanks to all of you
for joining me in office for the following year. There were also a couple other
appointments made over the period of Saturday night and Sunday morning. I
have also appointed Esther Rogers as head of our nominating committee, and
Don Daly head of our Auditing committee. If I have missed anyone, believe me
it is definitely an error. I am looking forward to my term in office and
those that will serve with me. I also want to thank those that
were officers this year, they did a tremendous job. We hope everyone has a safe and
happy winter and will see you at the May rally next year. Safe and happy
travels to all of you. Bill Leach

Northeast Regional Rally, Charlie Schrenkel was
made a member of our Chapter so he could represent us at “To defray the expenses of attending The Governing Board
meeting each chapter voting representative who has registered for both
morning and afternoon sessions of the Governing Board meeting will receive
$120.00” This check was sent directly to Charlie. We received a note from Charlie along with a check in the

to include a procedure for the event that if a budget is rejected at the

Volunteer Volunteering takes up our time and
energy. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which
can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go
there? Volunteers make a difference. Here are some of the things you
might get in return for your giving:
