To all Socal members and others who attended the rally. Pat and I want to thank all of you for making it the best rally ever. Our 1st rally in 2008, we had 5 coaches attend, it rained the whole time but we had a blast. From that point on, the numbers grew every rally rain or shine. We have met new people every at every rally and have made new friends that will last for many,many years. We also want to thank everyone who helped with setting up and cleaning up the club house, selling raffle tickets, and just for any and all help....just to many to name.
HL owners are the best and will all reach out to new people with a welcoming hand shake. There are no strangers. In my mind and all other owners, any and all are welcome and become part of the HL family.
Now the sad news...Pat and I have decided to retire as chapter leaders after 8 years. Reason, we have too much work to do at our "new to us" home and feel we cannot give the attention to our roll as chapter leaders the way we should. So, at this point, their will be a rally next year at Pechange...same time...same place. So stay tuned for the posting for the time and date as a new "wagon master/chapter leader" is in the works.
So as I write this, Pat and I want to thank everyone many times over that supported us and HOC all these years of great times and rallies. We will see all you again at many rallies in the future.
Bob, Pat, and Callie (who BTW made many new puppy friends).
PS, a side note...the ladies that catered the rally had so much fun they decided to stay and join in. That must say something about HL people.
