 Note:  I reserved a block of sites in every campground I could, however, members NEED to call the campgrounds and make their individual reservation also.  Tell them you are with the Covered Wagons group.  Remember to send in your reservations for the FMCA & 6-State rallies.  And please let me know which rallies you are planning to attend and at which ones you've made reservations.

NEW NO-HOST PROCEDURE:

  If we do not have a host for a rally, a schedule will be posted of duties that need to be done for our group.  Each CW  member attending the rally can sign up for the duty they would like to 'carry out' at that rally and will be responsible for doing that duty to the best of their ability.  The list will also contain duties that could be done if desired.  Below is the schedule - pick your delight and let the wagonmaster know of your choice when you let him know you're coming to the rally.  Much thanks!!!!
