Our First VP wants to share with you this Oct 23, 2009 memo from Leo G :

Please find attached the tentative details on our 2010 WBCCI Pocono Rally in July.  The Purpose is to find as many units as possible that would like to join us for this mega-joint rally.  So far, the Metropolitan New York, Ontario Canada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Charter Oak Units are in!  We would love to add your unit to the list.  Please forward this email onto any of your unit leaders that are not on this distribution list (see bottom).

If you have any questions, or would like to participate, please contact me.  Thanks!

Do you have a decent case of cabin fever? Are you sick and tired of the less than great news you hear every time you turn on the TV or radio? Well, we have a solution for you. Get that pink stuff out of the pipes of your Airstream, dust it off, pack it up and hurry to Charleston, SC  for the Region 3 Rally which will be held April 27-May 2, 2010. By now most of us know about all the great things to do around Charleston.

If you have never been to Charleston, this great Rally will be the time to go.  Charleston is the last bastion of southern charm and gentility.  It is the place to visit to see what life was like long ago.  There are many guided and walking tours that should not be missed. And if you like to eat you cannot miss the multitude of restaurants. Cultured and charmed, Charleston is a beautifully preserved treasure.  Deep in history and undeniably southern, the city is unquestionably the epitome of southern charm. This is one rally you just do not want to miss!

Most of us have attended large rallies such as State, Region and International.  We know about seminars, entertainment, good food and tours around the area, but the one thing we cannot forget about these and all rallies is the opportunity to be with our WBCCI friends.  No matter what has or is going on in our lives, the time we have with these folks is precious.  We Caravanners seem to find many ways to have fun and enjoy each other’s company.  We sit under our awnings with snacks and chairs and listen to travel stories.  We find nice places to visit.  We care about each other and are concerned when someone is dealing with health or other issues.  So why not take advantage of the chance to attend every rally that you can.  You do not want to miss all they offer and you sure do not want to miss this one.
