Sep 16-18, 2011 Campout - Oak Grove, VA

The September Campout was held at the Harbor View Campground in Oak Grove, VA and the Trip Captains were:  Halsteads, Parsons, Murguis and Taylors.

The meeting was called to order by President Larry Halstead after Saturday breakfast.  The September meeting was held at Oakgrove campground.  There were 12 member rigs present and the Settles came for dinner. Welcome to the guests:  Janice’s daughter Amy and family and Kay’s friend, John.  Trip captains were Parsons, Taylors, Muguias, and Halsteads.
Secretary and Treasurer’s report was emailed to the members before the September campout.  The reports were approved.

Sunshine Lady’s Report:
*Service for Joe Goulet was held at the cemetery at Quantico.
*Frank Ramer is in NC and doing well.  Sold the truck and the fifth wheel.

*Bernie Butler is in Assisted Living but have not heard anything more about her.

*Have not heard any more about Brenda Mitchell.
Kay has been busy this summer.  She spent three weeks with the Red Cross helping after the tornados in Alabama.  She then returned for another five weeks with the Corps of Engineers.  It is a great opportunity as a retired government worker.  Suggested if anyone would want to give donations to Alabama, to give to the churches.  They would make sure the donations are given where needed.

Technical Tip:

Do you know the location of your fire extinguisher?  Extinguishers should be checked 3 - 4 times a season.  Check for green zones.  Also, take out and shake to mix the powder.
