Rally Volunteer Opportunities!

Hera are a few volunteer opportunities:

1. We need a few folks (will need people coming in a couple of days early)to assist Kevin and Neely Wolbeck with putting together Rally Welcome Packets and then handing them out as rigs arrive. I anticipate we will need to start having a "formal" arrival area on Apr 29th and Apr 30th both. If you are available and would like to help Kevin and Nelly, please contact them directly at: rvn4fn@gmail.com

2. I need one or two medium sized metal fire pits for the Sat night bonfire. If you have one you can set up, please let me know. First two to contact me get this honor!

3. Need some wood. This is preferrably for our North Carolina attendees so we're not bringinf firewood across state lines unecessarily. Again, contact me if you can bring some firewood.

That's all the volunteer opportunities for now. I'm sure others will come up, so don't worry, everyone will get a chance to help out!

By the way, we're at 39 rigs and 87 attendees right now.

Gus, we have a metal fire pit and will have it with us. Debbie and I will volunteer for a couple of hours or so to hand out packets as well.

Gus,

I've got a metal fire pit with cover that I always carry with me. Also have a tote full of fire wood I always bring. I'll be glad to offer both for use.

Thanks for the responses so far. We've got all the firepits we need. Still need some help with wood (come on North Carolinians) and may need a few more folks to help with welcome committee. Will follow up on that later. I appreciate all the support.

Thanks,

Gus

Rally Welcome Packets

Nancy and I could help if needed for making the welcome packets.. We may plan on coming a day earlier, on the 27th (Which of course is also our 25th wedding anniversary)... Once the camp site is set up, we're all yours..

That makes two of us during the rally. Debra and I will celebrate our 34th on May 1.

Had a great conversation with Merrin from the campground on Sunday. They are looking forward to our being there (of course - lots of income for them!) For those of you interested, we will be having a Sunday morning service, piggybacking on the campground chaplain's service in the conference center Sunday morning.

Hi everyone,

Looks like plans for the rally are really coming together, just a few loose ends to tie up. Hopefully the next few weeks will pass quickly, all the snow will melt and it'll be time to start packing.

We have room for 5 or 6 more rigs, so if you are thinking about coming, you need to sign up soon. My limit is based on overall rally budget and number of attendees rather than an exact trailer count. Call the campground and get your reservation in soon!!!

We have lined up some some great door prizes so far, including a 10 unit Tire Pressure Monitoring System by Truck Systems Technologies, a $35 Gift Certificate for the Camp Hatteras Gift Shop, and several Heartland Branded items, and we have a great set of "freebies" for everyone attending. THINK SPRING!!!!

I am a little jealous of the Halls who only have to drive 37 miles. I don't think that is fair.

Me too!!! We could move to Avon, then we'd be 10 miles away...

Re: Time for Some Updated Rally Fun Facts

Hey Gus -

Kelly says "he missed some important facts!" How many kids and how many pets?

 

[klindgren]

Does any one have an enlarged map of the campground. I've gone on the Camp Hatteras web page & it does not allow for their map to be blown up (or if it does, I couldn't find how) and my tired old eyes can't read any of the camp site numbers. I even tried holding a magnifying glass up to the computer screen (I know I'm pretty pathetic huh) and every thing is just too blury to read. Maybe I need to drink a whole bunch more margaritas to bring every thing into focus.

Thanks,

Keith

Either 7 or 9 kids (trying to remember off the top of my head). I lost track of pets about 100 posts ago!
