Mary and I are sooooo looking forward to the Fall Virginia Rally in NC. We couldn't make it to the Spring Va Rally but we should be at the Fall Rally, weather permitting... hurricane season! We will call the Camp in the a.m. and get signed up. We'll be back with our site #.

16 rigs signed up so far! That's a terrific start. Looks like we'll probably beat our Spring Rally total. We're looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting many new friends also.

This will be a great time for all.

Hi all,

I'm a posting newbie here. DH Sam told me about this Rally and I was able to sign us up pretty quickly.

We're coming in on Thursday 9/24 and departing on Sunday 9/27, although we might extend that by a day and leave Monday.

We're in site #382 and we can't wait to get to know you all. We're bringing our 14 & 9 year old daughters, Kelley and Caitlin, who are homeschooled, as well as our black Standard Poodle, Zeus, who owns our RV!

We've got a raised fire pit with a screen, so you can get your fire fix at our site, as well! Come on over for S'mores prepared by real Girl Scouts!

boatto5er · Apr 30, 2009

Hi Chrissy,

Glad you were able to get signed up. I think we'll have a great group there. Should be loads of fun!

Our daughter is a Junior in Shawnee Council. By the time the Fall Rally happens though, she will have bridged to Cadettes. She earned her Bronze Award this year!! My wife and I are both leaders of her troop. (My wife is an 01 along with another unrelated woman as required when a man is a GS Leader. I'm an 02. Yes, a man can be a Girl Scout, but the background checks are more involved -- which is a good thing I think)

She is homeschooled also ... we love A Beka.

Hi Everyone,

Still a ways to go until the fall rally. Lots of summer camping going on - even a couple of really long trips for a few folks. I'm sure it'll be a little quiet through the summer months, but hopefully we'll pick some energy back up as summer starts pcoming to a close.

The campground still has spots "reserved" for the fall rally until late August, but don't procrastinate too long. The sooner you get signed up up, the less you'll have to remember to do it later.

Deb and I will be making an "Ambassadorial" (is that even a word?) visit with the Pennsylvania chapter at their rally in August, so wish us luck! We're having withdrawal pains right now - we should be out on such a beautiful weekend. But, Mother's Day with the kids and grandkids trumped getting away.

Hope to see everyone soon!

Gus and Debra

Fall Rally Activities

I am looking at a few activities for the Fall Rally that would need some advanced preparation but are also driven by interest. Would you be interested in any or all of these activities:

Fishing Charter. I hear the fishing there is excellent and there are several charter boats available. I don't fish so I don't know what kind of fishing they have (I might go along on the boat ride for fun). The CG has a fish cleaning area near our group of sites. I need to know how many people are interested so I can pick the right size boat(s).
Catered Seafood Dinner. A seafood restaurant in the area could bring a seafood feast to our meeting hall. I don't eat fish myself but would be happy to arrange this for the group.
Trip to a Seafood Restaurant. Since it will be just after the season, some restaurants will be closed. Our friend Merrin at Camp Hatteras has some pull with some of those restaurants and could arrange a group dinner for us even at the closed ones. Merrin even has access to a charter coach we could hire inexpensively to save us all from burning our diesels (plus everyone could drink with impunity too!)
Catered Barbecue. North Carolina is famous for their pork barbecue. We could get a pig picker to bring a feast to our meeting hall. I'll bet if enough people are interested they could even do a whole pig right there for us. I've done this before and can tell you it is extremely tasty.

You don't have to decide now since these things can probably be set up in August sometime. But anything I can set up now (while I am planning all my summer trips anyway) is something I don't have to worry about later on (while I am on my summer trips).

If we want to do one of the dinner things we might do it Friday night so people don't have to cook right after setting up their rigs. If it turns out that one or more of these things is something that is favored by people who will all be there on Thursday night (or Sunday night), then we might do that thing on one of those nights.

BTW, Gus, would you please email this message to the chapter list? Thanks.

Hi,

It'll be great to have you join us! Call as soon as possible and get your site reserved. And be sure to post your Site # back here on the forum so Hudson and I can keep track of who's coming and where they'll be. We're looking forward to meeting you.
