  President's
Corner
September 2008
The
Six-State Rally in North
Little Rock is over and the
Chapter members that worked so
many long hours as volunteers
parking almost 1,000 coaches are
still nursing tired feet, sore
muscles, and even a few bruises!
It was an experience we
will never forget and will provide
endless hours of conversation
around the campfire at future
gatherings.
We will find out in
mid-January 2009 what the value
was of all those volunteer hours.
I want to personally thank
each member who attended the rally
for their hard work.
A special ‘Thank
You’ goes to Bill Keegan for
working almost non-stop to get the
arriving coaches parked and make
sure each of us knew what to do
and where to go.
The rally parking sites
made the job much harder than
former venues—but we somehow got
them all parked.
The
winner of the Covered Wagons Gift
Basket was a couple from Virginia,
Doug and Lila Blaha.
They sent us the following
message: 
“My wife and I were fortunate to receive the
wonderful Covered Wagon Basket at
the FMCA Rally. Thank you. As
Virginia travelers, we were on our
way home to Gloucester, Virginia
after a summer's travel out west.
We participated in a retired
military caravan in several
western states and selected the
Rally at the Rock as our first
FMCA event. Thanks for adding the
Kansas touch to our summer's
adventures.”
Hope
to see you at Pony Express RV Park
for the final Covered Wagons rally
of 2008!
