Welcome to Steve & Mary Thompson of Massachusetts! Looking forward to meeting you guys!

I sent out emails tonight to a few attendees requesting additional information for the rally. Our shirt order has to be placed on the 15th and I need a few sizes yet. Please check your email inbox!

We are counting down and there is a little over a month until rally time! It is hard to believe it is rolling up on us this fast.

There are still sites available in camp if you would like to attend. Call Cathy at Copake and she will get you set up!

Hey Deb,

Jim and I will take one xtra large and one medium. Let us know what else we can do to help

 

[dbylinski]

We're getting closer to the rally and it may be time to talk about your travel route.

You GPS may try to send you on other routes but PLEASE Use the KOA directions by clicking HERE.Please remember we are in the mountains with beautiful covered bridges and such. Many roads in the area are NOT RV friendly. We have traveled all around the area and have been on many county roads I would not want to haul the rig on!

Do yourself a favor and follow the directions from the campground management!

In addition, the Taconic Parkway is off limits to trucks and trailers! Some issues include 9'clearance on some overpasses.

If you are planning to do some sightseeing in the Copake area click HERE for a link to the Hudson Valley Tourism Site.

It has all the information you will need to plan a few side trips should you choose to head out.

'Taconic Parkway is off limits'...have you ever noticed that in America we drive on parkways, and park on driveways. How convoluted is that?

Here is the most recent RALLY GUIDE for you to view.

There will be a full color Guide in your rally bag so there is no need to print this.

We will be spending Labor Day weekend in Copake making the final arrangements with our suppliers and setting up the pick up and delivery of our rally "stuff"! There are still a few sites available in camp for the 1st Northeast Region Rally on September 28, 29 and 30 so give Cathy a call at Copake KOA. 518-329-2811

Recieved an email from Mark Hathaway, our Dometic spokesman and he has obtained a Dometic portable ice maker to donate and a lucky attendee will be going home with it.
Many thanks to Mark and Dometic for their gracious donation.

If you have any specific questions about the rally or the Copake area now is the time to ask them.

We will be meeting with the Food Pantry representatives after church on Sunday so we want to remind everyone about our Heartland Gives Back Initiative. The Ro-Jan Food Pantry is excited that we have adopted them and we remind you to pack your non-perishable contributions.

It will be a busy weekend but some of our Heartland friends are meeting us there to help accomplish the tasks. This will be our last trip to Copake before the rally so if there is anything you need please let me know.

Lastly, if you are not registered and would like to attend I believe there are still sites available. Call Cathy soon!
